Thanks Ed! 🙂

But what stood out to me was your measured response, and unwillingness to be pulled into the slime.

Impressive. I wish more people could respond in a like manner to the little scum bags like Martik. Kudos for you!

Thanks, but I don’t think he’s worth the effort. Being exposed to the public is probably enough of a punishment. 🙂

This quote is classic stupid not to mention a good place to start that suit “Instead, I rip their keygens and patches and publish them with others name. so whats wrong with that. Cracks has no copyrights, am I right?”

You know why? What are the chances that this guy, da leet hax0r of da nturnetz, is infected himself from running random programs that he plans to steal? It’s along the lines of all the script kiddies who cheat in multiplayer games, only to have their CD keys stolen from them by the very cheat they’re using. It’d just be really amusing if the software he’s stealing to make money ends up costing him more in the long run by infecting every executable on his machine.

Shitty that innocent peoples’ names are associated, but as close to justice as you’ll probably get without actively pursuing it.

i had the same problem with FUU and this Martik. Check it out: http://crackinglandia.blogspot.com/2010/11/lamerz.html

Just another lammer!.

They aren’t all young boys. Many are. I don’t know the scene nowadays. In the past it was mostly young boys. I know that many didn’t realize about the damage because I met quite many and generally speaking a 15-18yo doesn’t really have a clue about what a company earns and how much a crack may damage them.

I don’t think the problem here is a teenager who creates a crack for a program. The problem is other companies or professionals which use this crack to avoid buying a license for the program. I don’t want to ruin the life of a teenager, even if his crack causes a significant loss of sales. I’d rather would like big companies being fined for software piracy. and it’s really incredible how many companies (even big ones) don’t pay for software.

“…I’m not making any money (even 1 penny) from any softwares or keygens. This all just for FUN and as you said hobby!”

~~Does not matter, It’s still illegal in any country and can carry the full weight of that countries legal system. and could result in the repaying of ALL the damages done~~

“Second, why some people crack softwares (commercial ones) and spread them (crack/patch/keygens) over Internet. is it legal or what? do they obey copyright or something?”

~~Does not matter if your breaking laws and international treaties first, second, third or tenth hand …..

“Instead, I rip their keygens and patches and publish them with others name. so whats wrong with that. Cracks has no copyrights, am I right?”

~~Was that an admission? and to answer your question, it’s wrong….and on a side note: If people could get out of legal trouble by PLAYING dumb …. there would be a lot more people out of prison.

~~why are they all boys? and what makes you think they don’t know the damage they can do?…….And yet they are still held accountable (boy, girl, man, woman)

I wouldn’t get to riled up about this supposed “Martik’s” comments. In case some of you are new to the web, there is another hobby people have called “trolling.” What ii is exactly is hard to define with exactness but these “Martik” comments are more than likely a case of it. Sorry to disappoint anyone who thought they were “talking back” so to speak with the “‘REAL’ bad guy.”

~~That was figured out early on ….. Also a lot of people use these websites to get e-mail addies by the drama factor(not saying that this is one of them) however you DOOOOO have to be carefull.

xpmule really hit the mark (im not posting the comment it was too long of one that in it’s entirety made a point)
it is called “honor amungst theives” in case you were wandering. The legality of the whole thing is beond my scope of experties. however the common sence of it …. a 5 year old would know what was right and wrong in this case.
