Deserved what they got tbh.
Software piraters usually give a warning in the installation nfo to block the program if it phones home
I used to have photoshop and Sony vegas and they tried to connect.
I never used then, so I uninstalled,
I have a cracked windows 8 and That fucker tries to walk home
fuck yourself
thieves
not like any of you have jobs
or
skills or talent
but if you did, perhaps you'd enjoy it if
thousands of people 'justified it' and
rationalized their theft of your services
...
A true artist should want their work appreciated by as many people as possible
Why should we try to restrict people from experiencing art in the Information Age?
the only reason you tell yourself that
it's okay for YOU to be a fucking piece
of shit common thief is because it's
digital, and you consider yourself to be
'entitled' because you view yourself as
being techno-superior……………………
you're not
you're just a thief
I'm well aware of your
theory, my good sir…..
rationalize much?
fun fact:
trust me, I'm a TRUE artist
a PROFESSIONAL ILLUSTRATOR
and as such, creating art is my
equivalent of 'standing behind a
counter' or 'sitting at an office desk'
it's how I've earned my living
I SELL MY CREATIVITY
I couldn't give any less of a fuck if
anyone 'enjoys' my work or not
in fact, as you already know
a true artist doesn't desire for people
to 'enjoy' his or her work…..
Whether they ENJOY it or HATE it
as long as they're not in the middle
