Posted 28 Oct 2008 Hacking the Arcade is already stopped... If someone does it again... he will never get any rupee's anymore on his account... Probably he can't even access the Arcade anymore...? But don't worry... I didn't see anyone cheat in a long long while... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 29 Oct 2008 Oh well... I just use the Casino anyway. It's much more fun. I have no idea why, but it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 29 Oct 2008 Actually, cracking isn't breaking laws, it's the distrubution of said cracked software. you yourself have the right to do whatever you wish with the game(as you've bought the physical object and installed it onto your own HDD) on the PC/Mac/Linux but it's only illegal once you distrubute it to others so therefore, cracking = legal I'm allowed to download a no-cd crack of a game(so that it doesn't take up my only disk slot) but i'm not allowed to pass that onto others who didn't pay for the game. I can give it to a person who has bought the game. Don't talk about what you don't know. Cracking is /NOT/ The distribution of cracks. It is gaining access to unauthorised areas (Logging in as an admin for example), or anything similar to that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 29 Oct 2008 (edited) I never said cracking was the distrubution of it, i said it was the distrubution of the said software that was illegal Urbandictionary: 3. cracking 63 up, 18 down love ithate it Removing copyright protection from copyrighted software. Commonly used to obtain software without paying for it. Cracking is not by inserting a false or used serial number, but to insert other documents and files into the actual program to make it seem like it was registered by a paying customer, when it actually wasn't. And unless you actually hacked the host server, gaining access to an admins account isn't hacking, it's guessing the password.

Posted 29 Oct 2008 I never noticed that. That just doesn't make sense. DungeonMaster, explain yourself! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 29 Oct 2008 (edited) I'm saying: Cracking isn't the distrubution(i never said that anyway) I was talking about the distrubution of cracked software being illegal, in reply to his saying that cracking is illegal.

But I don't give a flying poo about the distribution of cracks (which isn't cracking), I'm just mentioning that hacking is white hat (http://justpuppyinggoogleit.com) and not black hat like Blue_Mango was suggesting. Unless you can explain your blatant and massive contradiction, then please, don't post here. I'm for embarassed both of us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 29 Oct 2008 (edited) I was saying in reply to your saying cracking = illegal the distrubution of cracked software is illegal not cracking itself Also, have you ever thought that i didn't word it correctly? And anyway, i don't think you're reading it correctly. Edited 29 Oct 2008 by DungeonMaster (see edit history) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And anyway, i don't think you're reading it correctly. Cracking is NOT creating cracked software. For CHRIST'S sake, CRACKING IS BREAKING INTO A AREA (in computing) IN WHICH YOU ARE UNAUTHORISED TO ENTER. http://www.justpuppyinggoogleit.com/ I don't know what made you think that it is, but you must be a dipshit or something.

Posted 29 Oct 2008 (edited) Helps my point: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_cracking Helps your point: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Password_cracking We're both correct, we were just thinking about different things. YOU MUST BE THE DUMBASS SINCE YOU DIDN'T READ THE TOP LINKS ON GOOGLE. I tend to argue on definitions when it's not worded correctly. You're 100% right, as well am i.
