In case others don't have access to the piece, here is the full paragraph of the above snippet.

"Since that time, version-updated, cracked software has become available almost as soon as the first copies hit the market. In the days of dongles, I actually preferred to download a crack instead of requesting a legitimate copy of software to review. Why? Because I hate dongles and often the PR people at the software companies wanted me to jump through hoops to get a 90-day license. That was silly and exhausting, and it takes me more than 90 days. Thus, I’d just download and run a bootleg with all the security junk removed by some Russian guy trying to make a living by cheating the big companies. No remorse there. "

I mean, can you believe that StudioDaily, a highly respected magazine, allowed this into print? I am dumbfounded.
