FS2004 CRACK
Hallo!
I've just bought FS2004 and I'm wondering if someone has a crack, so I don't have to use my CDs to fly the FS... |

if you bought it you need no crack...
The license expressly forbids using them. "Jerry Morgan" wrote in message ... Hallo! I've just bought FS2004 and I'm wondering if someone has a crack, so I don't have to use my CDs to fly the FS... |

Some of us absolutely NEED the crack because that cockamamie Safedisk[sic] protection[sic] scheme[OK, "scheme" is accurate] doesn't work with many readers (such as my DVD writer, which is the only thing I've got that reads CDs). I can't begin to tell you how thrilled I was after installing this thing to have it fail to recognize my store-bought sealed-in-tin CD4. Right about then I was ready to tell both you and Mr. Gates EXACTLY what he could do with that disk. Matter of fact, I'm still ready. Wanna hear it? Also, ALL of us need the crack so we can be spared the indignity of having to locate and insert the CD just so we can prove we aren't crooks. Every day. Twice a day on weekends. And any decent (not "descent") hacker can copy the damn disk anyway. -- Dick Yuknavech |

So just because software piracy has been around for years software piracy is
suddenly legal? Very nice reasoning, and completely false of course. "Quilljar" wrote in message ... Well I bought it and it would not install/run without the crack, and I read that this is true for a few others. It's a bit late to be too moralistic now as cracks for ALL pc and Mac games have been available on the web for years now. Jeroen Wenting wrote: if you bought it you need no crack...

And fair use says you may make a backup copy of your software, yet MS sets up FS to prevent this. Two wrongs don't make a right, but I have no sympathy for MS in this case either. Making a backup is not piracy, or stealing. It is something to which the purchaser is entitled according to "fair use". Unfortunately companies like MS have made the decision that fair use only applies to them. The perversion of the DMCA is one aspect as to removing users rights.

Two wrongs don't make a right, but IMHO using a "no CD crack" for the furtherance of legitimate use (i.e. archival copy) isn't a wrong at all. Just because something's illegal, that doesn't necessarily make it wrong (and vice a versa). By the way, Microsoft was one of the last companies on the copy-protection bandwagon, other than a brief flirtation with it in the 80's. It's been standard practice in the games market, by ALL companies, for over a decade. Not sure if you're singling out Microsoft or not, but if you are, they don't deserve it. All of the software publishers are equally guilty of putting their own interests ahead of their *legitimate* users. The perversion of the DMCA is one aspect as to removing users rights. Exactly. One of the most ridiculous provisions of the DMCA is to prohibit ANY circumvention of copy protection, regardless of intent. I've yet to read about a serious attempt to contest this in the courts, but IMHO if such a case does come up and the DMCA isn't found to be unconstitutional at least in that area, we can pretty much give up on our country ever being again what the founders intended.

Just because something's illegal, that doesn't necessarily make it wrong (and vice a versa). You get no argument from me. As far as I'm concerned every one has the right to make a backup of their soft ware. Fair use gave us that. That the record, movie, and other industries were able to buy off enough votes to pass such a travesty shows we have a long way to go before digital media and corporations are willing to give back the rights they have stolen from the users/public. As I side comment...At my age, I don't buy much music, but... I wonder if the record industry is really so dense that they don't realize a lot of people are no longer buying their music because of their heavy handed tactics and not because of piracy. I don't argue that piracy exists, but I think a good portion of their lost sales that they claim is piracy is in fact people aren't stealing, they have just quite buying.

I did not claim it was legal, just that I have no compunction about using a
CD crack for any CD I have legally bought. It is the sort of law that bring law into disrepute. Like jay walking and speeding and trespass, something we have all done no doubt.
