Is installing cracked apps illegal?
    #21476375 - 03/29/15 08:55 PM (9 years, 2 days ago)

I know it seems like a simple question, but is installing cracked apps in and of itself illegal? Is having a cracked app illegal? Or is it only illegal to CRACK an app and upload it somehow like via torrent or something? Google search didn't bring much up, just wanted clarification...

Have you ever heard of copyright?

Srsly? Is this a real question? If you have to pay for it and you don't, it's theft. :facepalm:

thats pretty much how the law sees it

but in reality what OP is talking about isn't theft, in any way, shape or form. you aren't taking something from someone, someone is just giving you a copy of something that they own and still exists after its been copied.

you arent stealing anything by downloading for free with torrents or whatever, someone is giving you a copy of their data

not theft

Wrong. It's theft. You're taking someones hard work for free.

So yes, he is stealing from the producer of the app.

Gotta love the fact that a forum that has many non convicted felons make complaints about someone stealing an app. :lol:

how is he taking it? when someone torrents something, do the creators of that data lose it? no, they do not.

im not saying you aren't taking potential revenue from the creators, but it certainly isn't theft or thievery. it deserves a different distinction, and definitely deserves less punishment than actual theft

possibly, but it might just be illegal to be the one doing the cracking, I really have no clue though

regardless of its legal status, its not very safe to fuck around with cracked applications...try to find an open source alternative if there is one if you aren't willing to purchase it, or at least install it in a virtual machine for a layer of security

yeah, most types of software that people use on a regular basis have open source versions available for free

the only things i ever really need a crack for are PC games

everything else i torrent are movies and tv shows that i otherwise wouldn't have bothered watching or paying for

If you think downloading applications and software that can easily total in thousands of dollars for free isn't theft then there is no helping you. It is theft, if you take something that you do not own with copyright on it, its theft by the very definition. You know those $60 games you download and don't pay for? Yeah, you stole it. It's no different from walking into the store and stealing the disc.

:ooo:

its actually pretty different.

walking into a store and sticking it up takes alot more effort, and actually involves stealing a physical item

that store will have to pay actual money, or their insurence company will, to replace that item.

they're totally different crimes.

No dude. America. North Korea doesn't even have an open internet/google.

They use koogle or some dumb shit haha

At anyrate, if you even joke around about something serious you will be taken in the middle of the night. Or at the very least have your door kicked in and arrested. And you better hope the latter happens because some people never even go to court. They are locked up in a military prison or black-site and tortured.
