lukeskywalker1 Posted March 15, 2003 Author Share Posted March 15, 2003 Originally posted by InsaneSith you can use winzip forever without paying. yeah i know but it is against copyright law stuff or something like that, i know because when i found out i had just downloaded a file, but i needed to unzip it and i just clicked use evaluation version..... but i dont get it, they say u have to pay after the 21 days, then they wait 33 days to tell me my evaluation is up, but they still let me use the product.....whats up with that?

gorganfloss Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 Ive used WinZip forever and I never had to pay for it. And besides, who cares if they tell you to pay and you dont? Its just Microsoft, the people who can tell when ur not paying for their program...O_o Or anywhere else for that matter. And yes, that includes the bathroom. The sick freaks...

Echuu Shen-Jon Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 If you have Windows ME, or higher, there is a zip-program, which is excellent. I just can't unzip .pk3 files, so keep Winzip for that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reborn Outcast Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 Well actually, go to Google and search for WinZip if you really are paraniod about the copyright. There is a free download of it on the WinZip site. Just use that, WinZip is supposed to be free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is compulsory to pay for the software, but they choose not to enforce it. Don't ask questions and be happy they don't enforce it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
