Loli makes an important point.

There are people with families who rely on game development to support themselves. Also, if it's an online game n expect the plug to be pulled when they don't have money to keep servers running.

i just pirate VNs and they have dedicated and translated versions on websites pretty sure that's pirating only because they are not on steam

yeah but it stops revenue to the devs and with the niche indie games that are first time games if everyone pirates it there will never be more. it stops innovation and the whole indie scene.

There's always going to be ethic chumps, don't worry.

Look at Wikipedia. Pretend it's a video game. It is free. It doesn't advertise.

my opinions are amostly influeced from videos i watched from totalbiscuit

Genghis, I pirate mainly old games. (ie, pre 2011)

Also, I wouldn't have bought the games anyway.

Piracy is overblown in some ways (like how much damage it does) yet way underdstressed in other ways (like its far easier than most think).

This whole piracy mentality reminds me of a Patton quote:

Paraphrase

"Let's say 1 out of 1000 truck drivers is too scared of getting bombed by enemy aircraft, and thinks it smart to leave and not deliver the field rations and ammunition to win the battle. What's funny is that the other 999 drivers had the same idea.

We have copyright laws to promote creativity and invention.

It's also there so that you can't steal another's idea and make it yourself.

It's also there nowadays so that you don't steal money from people.

Piracy is stealing.

We have copyright laws to promote business, not the majority folk. Ideas can't be stolen. Ideas can be cloned. You're not stealing money, you're letting folk save.

With no copyright laws, everything is in public domain, and folk make things because they want to, not because they have to.

Genghis. If your saying im like the one of out one thousand truck drivers...

then you must also consider that i've already LOST all the food and ammunition, making going forward pointless.

Let's say 1 out of 1000 truck drivers is too scared of getting bombed by enemy aircraft, and thinks it smart to leave and not deliver the field rations and ammunition to win the battle. What's funny is that the other 999 drivers had the same idea.

Then they all got bombed and died, the munitions were destroyed.

also: Isn't gamestop technically pirating, too? the developers (including indie ones) arent getting money for it. does that mean there should be console DRM, locking all games to being used on just 1 console?

Isn't youtube also piracy? what about indie musicians?

Youtube is a funny business. I won't get into that, but for the most part VEVO only promotes a certain set of singles from an album.

Well no, Xy. 1 out of 10 trucks get destroyed. 900 trucks with say 1800 tons of ammunition and food.

War has its losses, you must accept your duties. War is like a communism dictatorship. You must sacrifice the individual and become the unit. The one can die, but the unit will live on.

Well, you have to die for your country, this much is obvious.

Can someone show me where to get minecraft for free?

I could, BUT realize that you can't play multiplayer with a pirated copt of Minecraft because the server would realize you're Minecraft software is cracked...?

Proxy to redirect game to pirate server. The game will think it has passed the verification tests.

Edit settings or profile file. You can simply add extra options to game startup that will skip verification. If you tell game to load map after loading, it may forget and skip verification.

Add fake key inside settings game file.

Forge dll and replace. Dlls are usually not obfuscated. A blank dll may work in some cases. The game code will just try to run dll and not verify if doing something useful.

Use crackers for different modes of protection. A cracker is simply an hex hack, like cheat engine.

Download compiled binaries. Some games will never work without verification. It may install files from server or compiling to have workable files. Very secure method.

Download executables for lazy cracks.

Replace components during boot up. You can replace audio with crack and the game may not detect.

Many hacks on russian forums. :3

Including unnofficial os for phones as an upgrade. You can upgrade android framework by example or get more efficient browser.

Yeah... Hostile is the real pirate here... :p

Google books :

Managed code rootkits

Google hacking


Both free in google books. Pdf format.



A penetration tester company has sandboxed sites and servers for hacking. Free but illegal to take over root site, only sub sites, pages, databases....


I can message the sites in my bookmarks. Each course is a module and is simulated penetration. Course teaches how to protect sites against hacking, use packet spoof programs and only costs like 100$ per course. Free cisco conferences that are archived. I got into one for free and i never took course. Rebates codes for 25% off are common in summer.





It is not free, I am a book pirate. I saw some edu sites with pdf on front page of google results. The first hits are amazon. :(

Does anyone want rebate codes ? I have some in gmail but not sure how. The key give away is the most legal method of obtaining games. You get two or three copies for a game through steam.

And sites like humble bundle.
