Well I just got done reading Blackhearted's post entitled 'What the bloody hell is this?'. There were some serious issues to be found in Blackhearted's statement and in the replies he recieved. I saw words like warez, copywrites, sellers rights, and buyers rights, and limitations. I looked carefully over who had said what, and found that there are hippocrates in the crowd. This rant is directed to those 'certain' individuals who replied to Blackhearted's posting. Some of you know me, though not as CrazyBill. This is just one of several alias' I go by, and for good reason. I am a collector of warez. I have over 800 titles, and use these for trade so as to aquire even more. Believe me when I say that I have dang near everything from MetaCreations,Curious Labs, DAZ, Zygote, DSI, etc. , even the stuff you private individuals sell in the stores at the various Poser sites. I even have Steffies Asia Texture. I understand everybodies concerns, and angst. I realy truely do. However the fact remains that piracy is alive and kicking, stronger now then ever. It will always be here. The point that I am not doing a good job at making here is this. I have traded MANY Poser related items with at least 6 of the people, that I know of, that responded to Blackhearted's posting. These 6 folks sat there and cried this or that about 'rights', of the seller and consumer. People, give me a freaking break. I may be a thief, more or less, but at least I'm not a hippocrate. Hippocrates have another name, that name is LIAR. If I was to be asked if I had possesion, and or use illegal copies of Poser or Poser related items, I would either say yes or say nothing. I would not lie. So to you 6, that I know of, I say this to you. Never again will I trade with you. There will be nothing I will ever be looking for that will make me even consider dealing with a liar. I would guess that my CrazyBill account here will be terminated after this posting. So be it, I have three others. And I am guessing that I will be getting all kinds of legal e-mailings from various places after this also. So be it, I used a junk e-mail account, I have many others. My IP address is routed anonymously, and changes everytime I go online, so no worries there. Should this posting have a life-span that goes beyond 24 hours, I will be oh, so surprised. But what has been said here should not be taken lightly. The percentage of Renderosity members that dabble in the warez market is much more then I think any of you would like to believe.
