Piracy

[Caleb1998]

So everyone talks about piracy, however some are new to pc gaming and don't understand how it's done (me being one of them). Purely educational, I won't to know how easy it is to pirate games, it seems like everyone knows how to do it but me. Also is it worth risk?

You are asking about downloading them or cracking a game? I think that this is against CoC

so, you are not allowed to do giveaways anymore?

[Marinatall_Ironside]

Yeah this topic is asking for a lock and warning points at the minimal assigned, as discussing it is against CoC. I am against piracy.

If it isn't self explanatory to you then chances are you'll screw up and get a virus on that PC of yours and waste all your time.

It says "You may not request, distribute, link to or enable any activities which involve the procurement or distribution of pirated software, product cracks or keys"

You can give away legit keys

Pirating is as easy as going to a specific search engine website, typing in what you want to download, and using a specific program, you are able to download it.

Many people around the world who have also downloaded that item are able to give you parts of it in order to speed up your download speed. - So usually, the more people who have the file, the faster your download will be.

No, i think that means that all of those three are not allowed, it might as well have said

"distribution of keys, product cracks or pirated software"

I don't think so many reputable people would do giveaways if it wasn't allowed. I don't want to argue tho.

Maybe its just a typo or something, and the mods knows this
