JediSith999 Posted March 27, 2002 Posted March 27, 2002 I was talking to a guy over the internet. He was talking about JO. I said where do you live, he siac America, so I was like 'wha?' HE was like well I got a wareZ version. I told him off, and was like no, listen to my reasons, so of course I stayed, he said: Well Warez is fine, as long as you buy the game when it comes out. (him talking) I am going to buy the game when it comes out, Im just testing it to see if it will run well on my computer, and to tide me (him talking) over until the real game comes out. (him done talking) Then I thought, and I mean as llong as he buys the real game when it comes out right?
ZeroXcape Posted March 27, 2002 Posted March 27, 2002 Most people who preordered the game felt the need to download it just so they could get a head start on playing. The problem is, you have no idea if he intends to buy the game or not.
JediSith999 Posted March 27, 2002 Author Posted March 27, 2002 yeah thats true, but isnt it legit if you preorder?
Kurgan Posted March 27, 2002 Posted March 27, 2002 I'm no lawyer, but if I understand copyright law, you are only allowed to make a backup copy of software you already own, from your original copy, for your own personal, non-commercial use. So downloading somebody else's copy while you're waiting for a pre-order would still be illegal, and yes, you don't know if the guy was just bsing or not. People have all sorts of reasons to justify warez, but that doesn't mean they can't get in trouble for it.
Rogue15 Posted March 27, 2002 Posted March 27, 2002 i'm waiting patiently for a demo. if they don't release one soon...it'll be a year before i play jedi outcast...depending if i can find it for $30...it is lame to pay $20 more for it. unless it comes with a t-shirt or another game.
Razarblade Posted March 27, 2002 Posted March 27, 2002 If you can't justify spending an extra $20 one a game that will give you months or years of enjoyment, you sir, are a cheapass.
BrainStorm Posted March 27, 2002 Posted March 27, 2002 It is still illegal to download Warez and then buy the game. You can justify it to yourself all you want but a crime was still committed. A faceless crime; yes, but still a crime.
B0MBER II Posted March 27, 2002 Posted March 27, 2002 I bet you 90% of the people on this board have commit that crime If it is cracking winzip to get it free or downloading JK2, 90% of the people have done something like that I bet you
Razarblade Posted March 27, 2002 Posted March 27, 2002 It's still a crime and isn't right whether other people do it or not, genius.

WHY PAY $20 MORE FOR A GAME IF IT WILL NOT RUN CORRECTLY ON MY COMPUTER YOU YOU YOU YOU FLAME STARTER YOU!!
Rogue15 Posted March 27, 2002 Posted March 27, 2002 I know it is worth $50...cuz of the editing and lightsabers, etc, etc, etc. but i don't have that much cash on me. if I did, i would probably get it. I'd rather have the demo so I can see how well it runs.
Andrewfus_SMC Posted March 27, 2002 Posted March 27, 2002 if it doesnt work on your computer.. take it back to teh store and tell them that. they will work it out. does false jusitification help you to work past the guilt of stealing stuff? was she "asking for it" too? hmmm?
igor Posted March 27, 2002 Posted March 27, 2002 Now I am sure that more than 90% of people on this board has committed some type of copywrite crime, I know I have. Either downloading an illegal copy or installing the same program on more than one computer, and yes that is illegal. But no need to talk about illegal or not, who wants to end up in a cell as Bubba's biotch
Miracleasd Posted March 27, 2002 Posted March 27, 2002 Originally posted by igor who wants to end up in a cell as Bubba's biotch are the hours good? will there be union meetings?
ivaj Posted March 27, 2002 Posted March 27, 2002 too be perfectly honest, I had a warez copy, but I went out and bought the game. So happy!!!
yodasoda Posted March 27, 2002 Posted March 27, 2002 ivaj, whered u get the warez? I already preordered
Miracleasd Posted March 27, 2002 Posted March 27, 2002 suuuuuuurrreeeee you did. look if you preordered your should get it tomorow so have some partience young padawan.
Yodimus Prime Posted March 27, 2002 Posted March 27, 2002 Warez....such a moral dilemma... I'm too lazy myself. Simply going to a store doesn't involve a convoluted series of commands followed by waiting for it to download. I favor getting fresh air and relaxing to running around on the internet.
Mightyvvhitey Posted March 27, 2002 Posted March 27, 2002 preorder you must. mmm yes. i will resist the urge to downl;oad the warez and instead play GTA3 the best ps2 game EVER!
HBK Posted March 27, 2002 Posted March 27, 2002 Do you know you can buy a cracked version on ***** for 10 pounds? ALREADY!!! here's the description/quote from seller (spudsteruk) : Full Jedi Knight 2:Jedi Outcast. Single CDR copy of game. Fully functional. Great Game. It is against the law to bid on this cdr copy if you don't own the original copy of the game. If you purchase this from me, you've performed the crime not me. Cd comes in jewel case. This clown even knows it is illegal. I am currently trying to find the link to report him to the site for selling pirated software. HBK MODS, if I went to far please edit or delete.
