- WTF? WHY AM I DOING THIS? -
As u probably recognised there a quite a few LICENSE.FILE.ONLY.READ.NFO-IND
Releases today. All the apps are free web downloads and work with somewhat
generic licenses (regarding the Version, they dont want 3.4565, 3.0 is good
enough). This means the here rlsed license will prolly work for many future
versions.
I am doing this cause i am sick of all those groups which recycle the old
serial or license, d/l the new version/build from ftp and then just pack
that stuff without much testing and are happy they made another 30megs on
the sites. Which is pretty stupid cause the old serial/license/... still
works and theres no need for a release, if the user needs a new version
he can check the Companies website and download what he needs. As soon as
the old crack doesnt work anymore i am fine with another release, but still
it would be better to rls the crack(serial, license whatever...) only.
So i'll release a few licenses, the user can d/l these and then choose on
the company website what version he needs (often u can choose between some
ripped down versions, missing docs, examples .... and the full version with
everything included).
Conclusion of that, if some App is available as a free download and the author
doesnt change protection every day (like some shareware does, so the keygen
from jan/1st will work for the version of an/1st but not for jan/2nd) the crack
only should be released and a download link should be included in nfo.
But of course no one listens to that and every little build/version is rlsed
with no mercy, so i am giving away these licenses to any pre whore groups, i
rather see some pre whore groups winning that lame stuff (and knowing they
are just doing it for the megs) instead of seeing RESPECTED(!?) groups rlsing
this stuff and pretending they just care for the enduse and blabla.....
That's was just one issue i wanted to address. There are many other things in
the scene which are fucked nowadays. The bad rips/packs are one major issue
in my opinion. Everyone is screaming we need to raise limits. So some sites
accept Util - max 200mb already (or even more, dunno...), that of course leads
to rlses which dont get ripped at all and are identical with the isos (hey it's
120mb, so it's in the limits, and we dont use max compression on the bin and get
over 150mb as iso release....) But aren't we in the rip scene? Shouldnt be the
examples, docs, demos, tutorials be ripped? If one wants everything he can go
buy the app or just download the iso release. And theres also the possibility
to release addons (docs, examples,...). So i totally agree with one well
known Site which still has 100mb as maximum for utils, 99% of all apps can be
ripped down to 100mb and smaller, and if it's not possible an iso release
would be the better the choice anyways. And often enough samples, docs,...
are available as free downloads on the web.....i guess we could list much more
here, but i just stop and leave the rest to u ;)
hope some ppl think about that, if anyone read the whole text at all :/
thanks to a good friend for that nice ascii ;)
