I know most people would say "Another idiot/non-believer....then why come here"........
I was always having a desire to start cracking programs. I used to crack a lot of programs earlier for my own self to save money. But then I realized that cracking isnt doing any good to anybody. If I were a programmer, I would want to kick ass of all those crackers who cracked my proggy!! I would myself be really annoyed with that !! Then why would I do something that I dont like on someone else!!!
Thats the reason I dont crack softwares anymore. I would like to ask all u gr8 crackers, if cracking and then distrbuting them on the net benificial to you/ or to anyone else ?? I seriously dont want people to get furious on me and say "****off" I just want to get some different analysis on the topic of cracking. Maybe after which I may start cracking again!!. But then I thought it would be better of if I could ask many more crackers...
PS: I myself use a lot of cracked softwares and warez. But I still prefer freewares over cracked ones. But then there r some softwares that are better as adwares/sharewares.

Well, in cracking they're is no "good" or "bad" things..
Some people are cracking for money (they are the real bad guys) , like in some warez site which SELL pirated stuffs...These guys SUCKS !
Most off warez is free, off course.
Some people think this is a way to share.
I want to use Dreamweaver to build my personal website, does i really need to pay
it? It is really expensive ! I'am not a company.. i can't afford it...
Thes people think about free sofware, maybe they are in a way fighting against capitalism (it becomes political so i stop)
Some others do it just for gain knowledge.
Sometimes, a little 100?software is more protected than a major software..
We have also a "white list" of software which we won't crack, because the author asked it or because others reasons..
Personnaly, i don't like to crack a little software. but if it's interesting i do it .
Finally, what do you think about your job?
When you start a job , it's better to know the software you will used during it.
Because you have the cracked version at home. The company save money, cause you don't need training..
How can i learn to use 3D studio max at home in example?
Off course, use free software is better, but say that at home.. Around us they are tons of places where they can't imagine use free software, because they works with expensive products for years..
I hope you'll bette understand the cracking world now
If a developer charges for EVERY SINGLE BUILD...this is not right...
He sold inferior product knowingly to get rich...this is fraud!
Cracking his apps give PAYING customers the chance to see if it is worth their money...TRIAL VERSIONS are often times crippled...
30 trials are often times not enough...
Example: MadMickael & Dreamweaver = 30 days is not enough!
They teach DreamWeaver for MANY MONTHS and MANY WEEKS!
As SLV said: mostly for knowledge
I do not crack however, cracking scene has brought me to meet MANY people from all over the world that I consider TRUE FRIENDS!
As we share knowledge and teach one another BONDS ARE MADE!
Lastly, here is where many warez users will hate me...
Most people ONLY use warez and pirate stuff...because they can...
No other reason...on my ftp i use about 70% of all apps I have...
Yes...I use over 70 programs REGULARLY!
But I am the exception...many people just collect to "get away with it"!
They do not REALLY wish to have such software...
Why do I mention this?
Because many say cracking steals money...
This is not true. These men would NOT use such an app if it wasn't free.
Human beings like to get things free even if they do not need it...
By nature we collect things...horde them...thus cracking/warez scene is that...a bunch of people hording stuff!
To the crackers I know, they are remarkable nice guys who live good lives. None of them are mean or hateful. None of them are terribly rich.
This is a hobby that is not designed to bring ill will to anyone.
I knew only about 5 guys who crack for money...
Any PROFESSIONAL deserves compensation from TIME TO TIME...
None of them are rich from getting such compensation!
Cracking is also a way of life...never forget that!
