I really can't swallow this "try it before you buy it" mentality where vB is concerned. vB isn't some newly released game, or unheard of band where you need to sample their product before you plunk down the dough at the store (an oft repeated excuse for pirating).
vB is pretty much the de facto standard when it comes to message board software these days. I very seriously doubt anyone who goes through the effort of finding a pirated version of vB, downloading, then installing it hasn't had at least a little experience with the software before as a poster. No, they want what the "big boys" use, at no cost. I don't doubt that many break down and pay for the license when they find that getting access to plugins and upgrades is a major pain, but that in no way excuses their initial theft. Even if, in the end, piracy equates to more sales for Jelsoft, that doesn't make those that pirate vB any less scum in my opinion. Pat yourself on the back for finally paying for vB all you want, you're still a common thief. |

Even if they are common "theft" at least they manage to buy one, unlike those who has "pirated vB" for several years without getting caught. We all stole something n.n |

Hi All
Lots of opinions and lots of finger pointing etc. but to be sure none of us was ever born perfect and part of growing up is learning from our mistakes and choosing the straight or crooked path. I note many admit that their opinions have changed. In an ideal world we would all have equal opportunities and good guidance from our peers but the world is not ideal and I give praise to anyone who makes a conscious personal effort to be more honest even if they have to do it by degrees. Going from 100% warez to 100% legit for instance is unlikely to be an overnight option for many so encourage them in their efforts to make the change. And if you want to have a site checked out then put in www.vbulletin.com/piracy because that's what the link is there for. It's not wrong to report possible dishonesty, in fact I would go as far as to say a person who starts with an attitude like that is just as likely to be the one who steps in when you mum is being mugged. It's all about attitude and leaving it to the next person is just a weak excuse. |
