I wrote this paper to find out what others think about piracy. This paper is based on my thoughts and observations of others that pirated software. I hope you all like it...
Many people think that illegally downloading games is a good solution that saves money and gets you around paying for stuff you can get for free. I can tell you that I own all of my software by purchasing it at the store. I never used to pirate, even way back when games were on floppies and all you had to was transfer the files from one to the other. Over the years, there have been countless numbers of people that have posted on websites wanting a working online key. There are other posts around websites asking for cracks and hacks around many features that verify that you have genuine software. You can’t get a good working key from a keygen or cracking site, since they’re all outlawed. You have to look on countless sites that give you spyware and ads to find a crack to “get around” software CD-KEY validations. When the issue is brought up, I always think to myself, “Why go though all that trouble?”. My solution is very simple: buy the game! People that buy the game get a good CD-KEY to use, and you're supporting the people that made the game! I got my original and expansion of Call of Duty, a game that one out of every 25 people pirate, BOTH TOGETHER for $25 at fry's electronics. This example proves that it's not expensive to purchase a game, or an operating system. I purchase all of my games and my Windows XP, and I don't have to go through the trouble like many people do. I have seen the strategies of piracy, and find it very funny that people go through all that trouble to find a keygen, an activation crack, an online hack, a good key or hacks to get around Genuine Product Checks just to skip paying a little bit of money to PURCHASE the game. I think it‘s very strange that I can brag to 25% of Americans that I can validate my Windows XP software online and download from Microsoft.com, and all I had to do was the right thing. I paid only $90 for my OS, without any regrets. It feels good not to be afraid to register my software, or be able to pass Genuine Product checks without fear. Many people have to search cracking sites to find an activation crack for their Windows XP software. All I did was push a few buttons, let it connect and that’s it! Going through pain to find a working key, crack, whatever takes the fun and meaning out of the game when you have to work to play it. Buying the game or software is well worth not going through any trouble to get around product checks, it supports the developers and it is the right thing to do. I think everyone should purchase their software, rather than pirating it.
If anyone agrees or disagrees, feel free to reply either way. I’d love to hear from both point of views.
