aye,
post the mails of the offending 'n00bs', it'd be nice to find out whos ripping off TGC software so as i can force a shotgun up their left nostrel and squeeze gently. piracy is illegal and harming the industry. Leeches pirating TGC software is harming our community and leeches are lamers, the lowest order of life on the earth. pirate software users are less then the brown stuff that you scrape off you boot after stepping in something you should not step in. Freeloading lamers will not be tolerated. Then again, I bet less then 0.5% of 3DSmax users are legit here too, isnt it funny how they claim to have MAX, but when you check out the official max users groups these people using max here dont exist on the official forums. same goes for maya users, that has to be even lower, around 0.1% legitimate. I see teenagers still at school using max on the 3d board here, I guess they all must be uber rich and can get any software they ask for from their rich parents. hi mummy, can i have a grands worth of 3d app please, thanks mummy. ROFL. what they actually mean is ... i just TORRENTED MAX.
name and shame them right here, right now!!!!
step up and form an orderly queue behind the gunsight.
incidently, I own all the software I use, It's the right thing to do, You wont find me using a single ripped-off app to make anything I display on this forum. Like the majority of legitimate users, it makes me sick to the back teeth seeing works produced by illegal copies being displayed on forums.
If you can't afford it, find a FREE alternative, not a stolen product. If there is no alternative. DO WITHOUT.
