We all know that we can easily get pirated softwares from various places on the Internet. There are thousands of underground groups, who create cracks for various software and try to be nice in front of the people. However, the truth is really not that sweet!
I still remember that how my dad used to teach me, that nothing is free in this world (well, although things definitely changed after open-source :P ) but that statement still holds true in lots of things !
Now, let me tell you the truth behind cracked/pirated software and the dark truth is that they are all overloaded with Trojans. When you run those programs, they can easily hide some Trojan (which can send computer store in the computer to any other location without letting you know) inside your computer and can play around with your personal information pretty easily! Just few days back only, a Trojan for iPhone was released in the form of unlock for iPhone. So, you see that not only computers, even mobile phones are not spared by these guys.
I’ll suggest everyone to either use Open-Source software else buy legitimate software. Say NO to Piracy! Piracy is stealing and just tell me that how you’ll feel if someone steals all your money in your bank account ? That’s the feeling a software developer gets when you steal their hard work and the money they deserve!

A great learning lesson for most of us. Good job!!!
It’s good that you think this way. But more than that, you should try to follow that too. I hope you must be doing exactly that. Even, I’ll try to follow your path.
That’s cute but it’s all bullshit. The truth is you can use cracked software and it’s no different than the actual program. The reason cracked programs look like they have a virus is because when you are downloading it the antivirus that you have cannot tell the difference between a virus and the cracked program, (because it is cracked). Yes some do have virus and spyware so download at your own risk.

That says it all! New users will not be able to tell that which one is dangerous.
My dad told me that the pope had super powers. Now I hear he's not even a mutant… :(

@opivi – well, i’m not … i know how to use pirated stuff.. how it works and how to save ass with thousands of masty things created by people like yourself. The post was targeted towards those who don’t know about all this and get targeted by all this kind of crap.
I’d still say there are quality open-source software that kick-ass of even the professional software .. so why not use then instead of cracking some software?
