Hey it's Blade TM for a blog!



Hey, I want to discuss how cracked programs hurt developers because well people need to know :P

They really hurt developers I mean they put all this work into their product but then people don't want to pay for it so they try to crack it or find cracks for it.
Its illegal to do that, that is piracy.

Heres a big example:
Cracked. Minecraft.
Its all over the internet, how-to's, websites, and instructions on how to get Minecraft for free. Notch, Jeb, and all the other people who helped Minecraft worked really hard and deserve to get paid for it.

Theres actually a lot more cracked programs and softwares:
- Minecraft
- Fraps
- Camtasia Recording & Video Editing Software
- Almost All of The Adobe Programs
- Sony Vegas Pro
- Bandicam
- Spotify Premium
- Skype Premium
And all that is from me searching 'Cracked' on Google..

I mean seriously if you want the program so bad then just buy it.
Its not gonna hurt you to save up and do some chores or if you're old enough get a job.

Thanks for reading, everyone!

Notch said himself "if you dont have the money to buy minecraft just torrent it. Then once you have the money buy it" the issue of why people think cracked or illicit programs hurt developers is that they assume that the person would buy the program if they couldnt crack it. This is often not the case. Often times they would simply do without the program.

I say this as a software developer myself.

Oh, well most programs don't really have a specified goal but even if they do people have to pay for the program for them to try to reach it.
But to your actual question, well most programs won't ever have just enough, they will always want more and try to reach to new heights.
