It's a company, it's supposed to make a profit, not to create software out of pure charity.Īnd no, two wrongs don't make it a right, you're right when you said it. You know, people have worked to develop the product.

So it's OK if you steal from a company, but it's NOT OK if a company uses, to fix their own product and provide the support everyone cries for, something that was made specifically to target that company's product making it easier to pirate. So everyone uses cracks to go around copy protection schemes when they're not supposed to, and then when that company uses that crack to fix a problem, everyone is outraged. People use pirated software -> companies lose money -> companies invest in trying to avoid illegitimate usage of their software -> copy-protection schemes are put in place -> problems with copy-protection schemes arise -> people who don't give a shit about the fact that the software was a result of an investment in both equipment, marketing and man hours still keep finding ways to pirate the software. There wouldn't be any need for anti-piracy schemes if people were trustworthy and didn't steal software. Regardless of what support the company has given its costumers, remember that the crack was made to circumvent anti-piracy schemes.
