Re: It's not that damn difficult
said by SlickEnW  : You wouldn't pay for photoshop? sure i would if it was maybe in teh 120 to 300 range, but why sohuld I when Gimp has almost the same feature set as the Extended edition of CS3 and is free.
that being said, there are some things in PS extended that gimp doesnt have but its not enough to justify a 900+ price tag to me, which is why i would buy it if adobe were to lower the price by several hundred. |

said by SlickEnW :You wouldn't pay for photoshop? Well technically, he said he wouldn't pay $900+ for it as that is outrageously overpriced. Not that he would never pay a reasonable fee to purchase Photoshop.

said by geowil :said by cypherstream :Good point. Wow could you imagine Malware that behind the scenes generates random data with popular music and movie titles, all connected to a Gnutella style network? The RIAA / MPAA could sue you, but in all honesty it could of been garbage data generated by Malware with the intent to flood the internet with fake files and frustrate everyone from the RIAA/MPAA to the users. i would rejoice, not because im a pirater (well not entirely true, i pirate what im considering buying and progs that are over priced [way over priced, like photoshop, not paying over 900 bucks for that **** lol], but i dont go crazy like most people do and pirate everything i see), but that we could get the riaa off everyone backs by screwing with their data (similar to the NoobAd data maker that the one poster has in his sig.). Maybe even open up the riaa for a few (or many more preferably) lawsuits for false accusations. and it would be one of the very few helpful malware's that get made (so long as it didnt screw over the infected pc as well). You wouldn't pay for photoshop? |

said by HiVolt :What gets me, is that how can they for sure know that a shared file is an actual copyright violation. I can put 700mb worth of garbage in a text file, rename it latestharrypottermovie.avi and share it. Good point.
