On CFC the rules are very strict on cracks and warez. Not that I'm into that stuff[:p] but there's probably a good reason for that...
We don't want to have the Internet Police chasing us, don't we?

LOL

Anyway, I don't oppose it for any moral reason, but maybe we could keep it behind 'closed doors': a 'member only' forum/thread? That would be a solution. Or am I overreacting? It's just something I noted. Feedback appreciated.

Shabba, I think you're right. We should be very careful.

Hmm. Cracks in themselves are not illeagal.

What *is* illeagal is to distribute them for the purpose of playing a game you have not paid for. I don't *think* we are doing that, although I am no lawyer (thank god).

I will check out the legal stuff. I think the reason CFC is so strict is that policing cracks is almost impossible, and they *don't* want to encourage people to download the crack without buying the game. I agree with this, in that I think that if you like a game you should pay for it.
