| So based on what I have read, for what ever reason given, it would be okay to steal a Mercedes (with a bad service plan) so you could use it for your delivery service?
Let's break it down into the bare facts.
1. You are using something stolen to make money.
2. You justify it based on the cost of the program and the inconvenience of what the vendor requires.
It is absolutely fair that these companies find legal ways to re-coup the lost money. They did not kidnap you or a loved one to force their way in, they did not break in or kick your door down. If you are foolish enough to use stolen equipment/software/merchandise (what is the difference?), not to mention in a business setting, then you need the face the music. How much else have you stolen? Do you buy stolen gear off the street? Why should you not have to pay your dues like all of the other legitimate business people?
The studios and engineers that have paid for and legitimately own the program, someone worked hard to get the money together to pay for it. Yet here you come with your cracked copy thinking "Fools". That is "unfair advantage", illegal and unethical.
I guess anything to make a buck, even if it hurts others. Sad. There is NO justification for this. |
