If you decide by some random algorithm that it is "too expensive" and download it using bitorrent then you are a theiving pirate. If it is too expensive then people won't buy it, if it is niche but expensive then people will grumpily stick their hands in their pockets, if you can't afford it then DON'T GET IT. Software houses charge what they think people will pay for a product.that's a freemarket. but you expect me to pay 40 bucks for a program that is more poorly written than most freeware? (As a disappointingly vast majority of FS add-ons are.) Not only would you use a torrent client to download 'Open Office' and other GNU applications, but also 'America's Army', a game targeting potential future soldiers.īut seriously, you don't think developers overcharge for software? Just a little bit? I mean, look at the huge volume of freeware out there- people are willing to write programs for free. This is probably not news to you Traches, but I feel it needs to be mentioned again and again that 'BitTorrent' is merely another torrent client which, btw to use is neither illegal nor immoral. Even if despite security precautions and regular scans the hard drive gets so messed up that it has become useless, all it needs is a reformat. I still don't understand why bawls had to get a new hard drive. (Don't download sketchy torrents, run a decent antivirus, use peerguardian, etc.) It's a moral issue here, not a computer safety issue.
There are precautions you can take that will protect you from this sort of thing. So I do what other people do and buy my products now. I got a virus and had to get a new harddrive and everything got deleted off my comp.
