Feeling Guilty?

June 9th, 2008 by Kevin Paquet | Print Feeling Guilty?

Ever tried of using a cracked Photoshop Version? Or using a script with no license? Like people who are using vBulletin with no license? I’ve got 2 people actually reported for using illegal softwares, specifically vBulletin, but the lazy team behind the scene doesn’t seems to be working very well about this case.

But I can verify than one of those websites are running fake versions of vBulletin, why is that so? It’s simply because the first one of those websites is running on a free web host and runs even on a subdomain. Now tell me how could anyone afford a licensed script if in the first place, he or she can’t afford a own domain name or even shared hosting, at least?

The other case was a little bit more critical. Before reporting I had to check out the site carefully, because the host of that particular domain was quiet prominent, and rumors spread that that person was just been hosted by another guy. Now, here comes that person and comments on Pinoy Teens:

heyoo dude!..nice thing aHH! you’re about too report my site too? like wat you did to chibibo? .. you know what? you’re such a selfcentered guy!!! y dont you just stop us! ,.you’re just like us.. you use to ripped some FS layouts in some site and forum….

dont be selfish dude!and when i see you ruining my site again.. you’ll see what you want to see…
damn!…

The big text speaks for itself, he is accusing me to be one like them who is using ILLEGAL SOFTWARES? I definitely don’t and I definitely won’t make use of any unlicensed script. I would exert the effort to buy it, or I would make use of the free ones and satisfy myself tweaking on it. Plus, why should I rip friendster layouts from other sites or forums? When I don’t even make use of friendster at all? You can even look at my profile how bad it’s skinned. Now tell me again that I am ripping off other people’s friendster designs!

How sad, the “excellent” community of Filipino’s on the web has its dark shadow, I know a lot of great Filipino bloggers, a lot of great Filipino Developers, but I never thought of a lot of failures, who are so desperate in getting a good front design and functionality in the means of using illegal softwares. Really guys, that’s very bad.
