Angry people caught should stop whining
booby traps are part of the risk of
pirating copyrighted software it's
everywhere Hackers plant traps.....
programmers who want to protect there shareware apps from piracy plant traps
and expensive closed software has them
too. Sorry the 'I'm poor and can't afford to buy it so I pirate' argument doesn't wash at all with me especially free or open source apps are avalible that are of equal value.
I'd like people to please think about the programmers who make a living selling his
or her software they have kids and bills to
pay don't steal there stuff ok? they aren't
rich or have a bank account like Bill Gates
or Warren Buffet.
