Welcome to The Pirates Friends, (Formally known  as Serial Basher). The Serial Basher was such a  success, that I decided to add a copy protection basher  as well. Then a friend gave me the idea to add a  database of cheat codes. Well, the name Serial Basher  wouldn't fit to all that has been added to it. So I  decided to name the program The Pirates Friend. This  program contains all known serial numbers, a list of  programs, I have successfully cracked, and the  information on how you, yourself can crack programs, and  recently, I have added a cheat database, containing  quite a few cheats. I hope you like it, it took quite a  few hours of work. By the way, we recently discovered, that the name  ILLUMINATI was already being used by another group on  the Internet. So we have to come up with a new name for  our little group of coders, crackers, runners, etc...  Below are just some of the names we've come up with, but  we can't decide on which one. DWC - Dicks With Computers SPIRIT PWDGF - Pirates Who Don't Give A F*CK! EPA - Elite Pirates Association Now, as to why our little (nameless) group started. We  started it, because we're sick and tired of being lied  to by the software companies. By that I mean, the price  of software is always getting higher and higher, and for  years, they have been blaming it on software piracy.  You even see reports everywhere, on how many billions of  dollars are lost to software piracy. How is it, that  now with CD-ROM technology, (Which are not as easily  pirated), the price of software has gone up instead of  down? I'll tell you why. Because it's not software  piracy that's to blame, it's advertising and promotion.  Those colorful little boxes and instruction manuals,  that come with a program, that's what costs so much, and  forces the software companies to raise prices. Sure,  there is a lot of money lost to software piracy, but  what those same companies, are failing to mention, is  the billions of dollars they do make off of a program.  Incidentally, the original software authors only getting  a small percentage of the money that is collected from  mass production of their programs. If you ask me, it's  not us pirates who are deceiving the authors, it's the  software companies. I recently (about 4 months ago),  read an article in a computer magazine, about John  Ramero, and John Carmack (Authors of the DOOM series).  Both of these guys have 3 ferrari's each! This was  money gained from the sale of DOOM alone (a Shareware  game I might ad). Think about the money they would have  made if it was commercial right from the beginning?  Those guys aren't hurting. Now, if software companies,  would just stop spending so much money on advertising  and colorful boxes to wrap their precious software in,  they could easily sell software at $10.00 a pop, rather  than $50-60 each. I would be more inclined to spend $10  on a program, then I would be to spend $50+. If I had a  $100 in my pocket, I could easily purchase 8 programs,  (allowing for tax). But with the price of software, I  can maybe buy one. And you know, all that's required,  is to put the program on disk, and include a text manual  (on disk) that can be printed out, shrink wrap the disk,  and put it on the shelf. Costs a whole lot less than  $50+... Software companies, also need to make software  available, for the public to see. Software stores,  could place a large PC with a large harddrive in the  store, and place all the new software on it, to be  tested and beta tested by users like us. If we like it,  we buy it. If not, then we don't. But too many times,  has a user gone into a store, to purchase something that  looks great on the box, only to be disappointed when  they open it. Then of course it's too late to take it  back to the store. By the way, software companies,  often send free beta software to other major  corporations to be tested. They seem to forget, that  the real user is the one they are ripping off. So  that's why our little group got started. I will  continue to pirate (and crack) software, until those big  name software companies, come to their senses, and  realize, that they can make just as much money, off of  selling software at $10 each, versus $50 each. All they  have to do is, cut costs in the marketing department. .DBFDBF²$vAβ$vA%vA vA€ vAd vAΜ vAτ vAŒ vA²vA&(vA#vA $vA2vA‚vAXvA" vAΊvA2vAκvA’#vAX5vAt$vAvvAPvA’vA`4vHello.

Similar to the other two, this will give you  information on how to activate many of the cheat codes  in many of todays popular games. *** WHY? *** Now, as to why our little group started. We started it,  because we're sick and tired of being lied to by the  software companies. By that I mean, the price of  software is always getting higher and higher, and for  years, they have been blaming it on software piracy.  You even see reports everywhere, on how many billions of  dollars are lost to software piracy. How is it, that  now with CD-ROM technology, (Which are not as easily  pirated), the price of software has gone up instead of  down? I'll tell you why. Because it's not software  piracy that's to blame, it's advertising and promotion.  Those colorful little boxes and instruction manuals,  that come with a program, that's what costs so much, and  forces the software companies to raise prices. Sure,  there is a lot of money lost to software piracy, but  what those same companies, are failing to mention, is  the billions of dollars they do make off of a program.  Incidentally, the original software author is only  getting a small percentage of the money that is  collected from mass production of their programs. If  you ask me, it's not us pirates who are deceiving the  authors, it's the software companies. I recently (about  4 months ago), read an article in a computer magazine,  about John Ramero, and John Carmack (Authors of the DOOM  series). Both of these guys have 3 ferrari's each!  This was money gained from the sale of DOOM alone (a  Shareware game I might ad). Think about the money they  would have made if it was commercial right from the  beginning? Those guys aren't hurting. Now, if software  companies, would just stop spending so much money on  advertising and colorful boxes to wrap their precious  software in, they could easily sell software at $10.00 a  pop, rather than $50-60 each. I would be more inclined  to spend $10 on a program, then I would be to spend  $50+. If I had a $100 in my pocket, I could easily  purchase 8 programs, (allowing for tax). But with the  price of software, I can maybe buy one. And you know,  all that's required, is to put the program on disk, and  include a text manual (on disk) that can be printed out,  shrink wrap the disk, and put it on the shelf. Costs a  whole lot less than $50+... Software companies, also  need to make software available, for the public to see.  Software stores, could place a large PC with a large  harddrive in the store, and place all the new software  on it, to be tested and beta tested by users like us.  If we like it, we buy it. If not, then we don't. But  too many times, has a user gone into a store, to  purchase something that looks great on the box, only to  be disappointed when they open it. Then of course it's  too late to take it back to the store. By the way,  software companies, often send free beta software to  other major corporations to be tested. They seem to  forget, that the real user is the one they are ripping  off. So that's why our little group got started. I  will continue to pirate (and crack) software, until  those big name software companies, come to their senses,  and realize, that they can make just as much money, off  of selling software at $10 each, versus $50 each. All  they have to do is, cut costs in the marketing  department. *** MEMBERS *** Members of ECPA are: Lawson H. Mundy, The Puppet Master,  Homeboy, and The Peeper.

Welcome to The Pirates Friend, (Formally known  as Serial Basher). The Serial Basher was such a success,  that I decided to add a copy protection basher as well.  Then a friend gave me the idea to add a database of  cheat codes. Well, the name Serial Basher wouldn't fit  to all that has been added to it. So I decided to name  the program The Pirates Friend. This program contains  all known serial numbers, a list of programs, I have  successfully cracked, and the information on how you,  yourself can crack programs, and recently, I have added  a cheat database, containing quite a few cheats. I hope  you like it, it took quite a few hours of work. *** A NAME CHANGE *** By the way, we recently discovered, that the name  ILLUMINATI was already being used by another group on  the Internet. So we had to come up with a new name for  our little group of coders, crackers, runners, etc...  Below, is our new group name. E.C.P.A. - Elite Computer Pirates Association *** SERIAL BASHER *** This program started out, simply because I noticed a  bunch of text files floating around, containing various  serial numbers. A lot of these text files contained  duplicates. So I wrote Serial Basher V1.0. Serial  Basher is nothing more than a database, in which I  placed all the serial numbers (no duplicates). I also  added some of my own. And this database will be updated  periodically as more serial numbers are found. *** COPY PROTECTION BASHER *** This program started along the same lines as Serial  Basher. I had various information on how to crack  software programs. I decided to place that information  into a similar database. I know there are protection  removal programs out there such as Locksmith, and  Rawcopy, that do the job for you. But where's the fun  in that? The Copy Protection Basher will tell you what  editor to use, what file to edit, and what hex bytes to  search for and replace with.

Welcome to The Pirates Friend, (Formally known  as Serial Basher). The Serial Basher was such a success,  that I decided to add a copy protection basher as well.  Then a friend gave me the idea to add a database of  cheat codes. Well, the name Serial Basher wouldn't fit  to all that has been added to it. So I decided to name  the program The Pirates Friend. This program contains  all known serial numbers, a list of programs, I have  successfully cracked, and the information on how you,  yourself can crack programs, and recently, I have added  a cheat database, containing quite a few cheats. I hope  you like it, it took quite a few hours of work. *** A NAME CHANGE *** By the way, we recently discovered, that the name  ILLUMINATI was already being used by another group on  the Internet. So we had to come up with a new name for  our little group of coders, crackers, runners, etc...  Below, is our new group name. W.A.S.P. - World Association of Software Pirates *** SERIAL BASHER *** This program started out, simply because I noticed a  bunch of text files floating around, containing various  serial numbers. A lot of these text files contained  duplicates. So I wrote Serial Basher V1.0. Serial  Basher is nothing more than a database, in which I  placed all the serial numbers (no duplicates). I also  added some of my own. And this database will be updated  periodically as more serial numbers are found. To use  it, press the UP/DOWN cursor keys, or PgUp/PgDn keys to  locate the program that you are looking for. Once found  press and the serial number that you can use  will be displayed. You can also press the first letter  of the program you are looking for, and it will take you  to the first program starting with that letter. *** CRACKS *** This program started along the same lines as Serial  Basher. I had various information on how to crack  software programs. I decided to place that information  into a similar database. I know there are protection  removal programs out there such as Locksmith, and  Rawcopy, that do the job for you. But where's the fun  in that? This database will tell you what editor to  use, what file to edit, and what hex bytes to search for  and replace with. This gives you a chance at hands on  experience in cracking your own software. To use it,  press the UP/DOWN cursor keys, or press the PgUp/PgDn  keys to locate the program you want to deprotect. Once  found, press and the information on how to crack  that program will be displayed. You can also press the  first letter of the program you are looking for, and you  will be taken to the first program starting with that  letter. *** CHEATS *** This database started because a friend of mine, gave me  the idea to add a cheat database to my little list of  programs. Similar to the other two, this will give you  information on how to activate many of the cheat codes  in many of todays popular games. To use it, move the  cursor over the program you are looking for, and press  . *** WHY? *** Now, as to why our little group started. We started it,  because we're sick and tired of being lied to by the  software companies. By that I mean, the price of  software is always getting higher and higher, and for  years, they have been blaming it on software piracy.  You even see reports everywhere, on how many billions of  dollars are lost to software piracy. How is it, that  now with CD-ROM technology, (Which is not as easily  duplicated), the price of software has gone up instead  of down? I'll tell you why. Because it's not software  piracy that's to blame, it's advertising and promotion.  Those colorful little boxes and instruction manuals,  that come with a program, that's what costs so much, and  forces the software companies to raise prices. Sure,  there is a lot of money lost to software piracy, but  what those same companies, fail to mention, is the  billions of dollars they do make off of a program.  Incidentally, the original software author is only  getting a small percentage of the money that is  collected from mass production of a program. If you ask  me, it's not us pirates who are deceiving the authors,  it's the software companies. I recently read an article  in a computer magazine, about John Ramero, and John  Carmack (creators of the DOOM series). Both of these  guys have 3 ferrari's each! This was money gained from  the sale of DOOM alone (a Shareware game!). Think about  the money they would have made if it was commercial  right from the beginning? Those guys aren't hurting for  money. Now, if software companies, would just stop  spending so much money on advertising and colorful boxes  to wrap their precious software in, they could easily  sell software at $10.00 a pop, rather than $50-60 each.  I would be more inclined to spend $10 on a program,  because then I would have a manual, a toll free phone  number for technical support, and more money in my  wallet. If I had a $100 in my pocket, I could easily  purchase 8 programs at $10.00 each, but with the price  of software these days, I can maybe, purchase one. All  that's required, is to put the program on disk(s), and  include a text manual (on disk) that can be printed out,  shrink wrap the disk, and put it on the shelf. Costs a  whole lot less than $50+... Software companies, also  need to make software available, for the public to see.  Software stores, could place a large PC with a large  hard drive in the store, and place all the new software  on it, to be tested and beta tested by users like us.  If we like it, we buy it. If not, then we don't. But  too many times, has a user gone into a store, to  purchase something that looks great on the box, only to  be disappointed when they open it. Then of course it's  too late to take it back to the store. By the way,  software companies, often send free beta software to  other major corporations to be tested. They seem to  forget, that the real user is the one they are ripping  off. So that's why our little group got started.

Welcome to The Pirates Friend V2.0. This latest  version, contains yet more serial numbers. Actually,  about 2 days after the first Pirates Friend was  released, Lawson H. Mundy, came across a new text file,  containing over 1000 serial numbers. Lots of work had  to be done to prepare version 2.0 for release. First,  we had to make sure that new duplicate numbers would  wind up in it. Second, we had to update old serial  numbers. Also with this version, is a few more cracks,  Desert Strike, and Jungle Strike come to mind. Oh yeah,  speaking of Desert Strike, I had to take the cheat  commands out for it. Apparently, some of the cheats  only work with the uncracked version. Once cracked,  they no longer function, and one cheat we could never  get to work. I wish to thank Hellraiser and Crockadile  for informing me of the fault in the Desert Strike cheat. *** LEGAL STUFF *** In no way will anyone, other than yourself be  responsible for the use or mis-use of this program. We  recommend, that you make backups of any and all  programs, that you attempt to crack, by using a hex  editor. This program is freeware. Also we will not be  responsible for any cheats that do not function  correctly. If you find a cheat or crack, or serial  number that doesn't work (providing you are using the  proper version), contact us, and we will correct the  error. *** SERIAL NUMBERS *** This program started out, simply because I noticed a  bunch of text files floating around, containing various  serial numbers.

Software companies, also  need to make software available, for the public to see.  Software stores, could place a large PC with a large  hard drive in the store, and place all the new software  on it, to be tested and beta tested by users like us.  If we like it, we buy it. If not, then we don't. But  too many times, has a user gone into a store, to  purchase something that looks great on the box, only to  be disappointed when they open it. Then of course it's  too late to take it back to the store. By the way,  software companies, often send free beta software to  other major corporations to be tested. They seem to  forget, that the real user is the one they are ripping  off. So that's why our little group got started. I  will continue to pirate (and crack) software, until  those big name software companies, come to their senses,  and realize, that they can make just as much money, off  of selling software at $10 each, versus $50 each. All  they have to do is, cut costs in the marketing  department. *** MEMBERS *** Members of WASP are: Lawson H.

Welcome to The Pirates Friend V2.0. This latest  version, contains yet more serial numbers. Actually,  about 2 days after the first Pirates Friend was  released, Lawson H. Mundy, came across a new text file,  containing over 1000 serial numbers. Lots of work had  to be done to prepare version 2.0 for release. First,  we had to make sure that no duplicate numbers would  wind up in it. Second, we had to update old serial  numbers. Also included in this version, is a few  more cracks, Desert Strike, comes to mind. Oh yeah,  speaking of Desert Strike, I had to take the cheat  commands out for it. Apparently, some of the cheats  only work with the UNCRACKED version. Once cracked,  they no longer function, and the indestructable cheat we  could never get to work. Thanks to Hellraiser &  Crockadile for informing me of the fault with the Desert  Strike cheat. *** LEGAL STUFF *** In no way will anyone, other than yourself be  responsible for the use or mis-use of this program. We  recommend, that you make backups of any and all  programs, that you attempt to crack, by using a hex  editor. This program is freeware. Also we will not be  responsible for any cheats that do not function  correctly. If you find a cheat or crack, or serial  number that doesn't work (providing you are using the  proper version), contact us, and we will correct the  error. *** SERIAL NUMBERS *** This program started out, simply because I noticed a  bunch of text files floating around, containing various  serial numbers. A lot of these text files contained  duplicates. So I wrote Serial Basher V1.0. Serial  Basher is nothing more than a database, in which I  placed all the serial numbers (no duplicates). I also  added some of my own. And this database will be updated  periodically as more serial numbers are found. To use  it, press the UP/DOWN cursor keys, or PgUp/PgDn keys to  locate the program that you are looking for. Once found  press and the serial number that you can use  will be displayed. You can also press the first letter  of the program you are looking for, and it will take you  to the first program starting with that letter. *** CRACKS *** BACKUP ANY FILES YOU ARE GOING TO EDIT!!! This program started along the same lines as Serial  Basher. I had various information on how to crack  software programs. I decided to place that information  into a similar database. I know there are protection  removal programs out there such as Locksmith, and  Rawcopy, that do the job for you. But where's the fun  in that? This database will tell you what editor to  use, what file to edit, and what hex bytes to search for  and replace with. This gives you a chance at hands on  experience in cracking your own software. To use it,  press the UP/DOWN cursor keys, or press the PgUp/PgDn  keys to locate the program you want to deprotect. Once  found, press and the information on how to crack  that program will be displayed. You can also press the  first letter of the program you are looking for, and you  will be taken to the first program starting with that  letter. WARNING: I STRONGLY SUGGEST THAT YOU MAKE A  BACK UP OF ALL THE FILES YOU ARE GOING TO EDIT!!! *** CHEATS *** This database started because a friend of mine, gave me  the idea to add a cheat database to my little list of  programs. Similar to the other two, this will give you  information on how to activate many of the cheat codes  in many of todays popular games. To use it, move the  cursor over the program you are looking for, and press  . (Keys you are to press, are enclosed in < >.  Also, any passwords, cheat codes, you enter, might be  case sensitive. Try them in lowercase if they don't  work in uppercase). *** WHY? *** Now, as to why our little group started. We started it,  because we're sick and tired of being lied to by the  software companies. By that I mean, the price of  software is always getting higher and higher, and for  years, they have been blaming it on software piracy.  You even see reports everywhere, on how many billions of  dollars are lost to software piracy. How is it, that  now with CD-ROM technology, (Which is not as easily  duplicated), the price of software has gone up instead  of down? I'll tell you why. Because it's not software  piracy that's to blame, it's advertising and promotion.  Those colorful little boxes and instruction manuals,  that come with a program, that's what costs so much, and  forces the software companies to raise prices. Sure,  there is a lot of money lost to software piracy, but  what those same companies, fail to mention, is the  billions of dollars they do make off of a program.  Incidentally, the original software author is only  getting a small percentage of the money that is  collected from mass production of a program. If you ask  me, it's not us pirates who are deceiving the authors,  it's the software companies. I recently read an article  in a computer magazine, about John Ramero, and John  Carmack (creators of the DOOM series). Both of these  guys have 3 ferrari's each! This was money gained from  the sale of DOOM alone (a Shareware game!). Think about  the money they would have made if it was commercial  right from the beginning? Those guys aren't hurting for  money. Now, if software companies, would just stop  spending so much money on advertising and colorful boxes  to wrap their precious software in, they could easily  sell software at $10.00 a pop, rather than $50-60 each.  I would be more inclined to spend $10 on a program,  because then I would have a manual, a toll free phone  number for technical support, and more money in my  wallet. If I had a $100 in my pocket, I could easily  purchase 8 programs at $10.00 each, but with the price  of software these days, I can maybe, purchase one. All  that's required, is to put the program on disk(s), and  include a text manual (on disk) that can be printed out,  shrink wrap the disk, and put it on the shelf. Costs a  whole lot less than $50+...

By that I mean, the price of  software is always getting higher and higher, and for  years, they have been blaming it on software piracy.  You even see reports everywhere, on how many billions of  dollars are lost to software piracy. How is it, that  now with CD-ROM technology, (Which is not as easily  duplicated), the price of software has gone up instead  of down? I'll tell you why. Because it's not software  piracy that's to blame, it's advertising and promotion.  Those colorful little boxes and instruction manuals,  that come with a program, that's what costs so much, and  forces the software companies to raise prices. Sure,  there is a lot of money lost to software piracy, but  what those same companies, fail to mention, is the  billions of dollars they do make off of a program.  Incidentally, the original software author is only  getting a small percentage of the money that is  collected from mass production of a program. If you ask  me, it's not us pirates who are deceiving the authors,  it's the software companies. I recently read an article  in a computer magazine, about John Ramero, and John  Carmack (creators of the DOOM series). Both of these  guys have 3 ferrari's each! This was money gained from  the sale of DOOM alone (a Shareware game!). Think about  the money they would have made if it was commercial  right from the beginning? Those guys aren't hurting for  money. We feel that it is unfair to computer users that  they are not able to evaluate software to see if it  suits their needs. Many people have purchased software  simply by the way the program looks on the box, only to  be disappointed with it, therefore wasting hard earned  money. Would you buy a car without first test driving  it? I think not! How can software companies, expect  users to buy their products, without first getting a  chance to test it? They will send copies to large  corporations for testing purposes, but seem to forget  the small users who actually buy the software. This is  where we come in. If you have used The Pirates Friend  to break the protection, or get a serial number for your  software, then you have 24 hours to test that software.  If it meets your needs, please purchase, or register it.  If it does not, please delete any and all copies of it.  There are many advantages to purchasing or registereing  your software. (1) Technical Support, (2) Upgrades, (3)  Manuals, (4) Legality, and (5) control of the industry.  When companies who create good products are supported,  then they will be encouraged to produce more and better  products. I will continue to pirate (and crack)  software, until those big name software companies, come  up with a better way of allowing people to test their  software prior to spending so much money. *** MEMBERS *** Members of WASP are: Lawson H.

In case  you are wondering, this is actually, three programs  in one. (1) A Serial Number Database, (2) A Protection  Removal Database, and (3) A Cheat Database. This  version, contains yet more serial numbers. Actually,  about 2 days after the first Pirates Friend was  released, Lawson H. Mundy, came across a new text file,  containing over 1000 serial numbers. Lots of work had  to be done to prepare version 2.0 for release. First,  we had to make sure that no duplicate numbers would wind  up in it. Second, we had to update old serial numbers.  Also included in this version, is a few more cracks,  Desert Strike, comes to mind. Oh yeah, speaking of  Desert Strike, I had to take the cheat commands out for  it. Apparently, some of the cheats only work with the  UNCRACKED version. Once cracked, they no longer  function, and the indestructable cheat we could never  get to work. Thanks to Hellraiser & Crocodile for  informing me of the fault with the Desert Strike cheat. *** LEGAL STUFF *** In no way will anyone, other than yourself be  responsible for the use or mis-use of this program. We  recommend, that you make backups of any and all  programs, that you attempt to crack, by using a hex  editor. This program is freeware. Also we will not be  responsible for any cheats that do not function  correctly. If you find a cheat or crack, or serial  number that doesn't work (providing you are using the  proper version), contact us, and we will correct the  error. *** SERIAL NUMBERS *** This program started out, simply because I noticed a  bunch of text files floating around, containing various  serial numbers. A lot of these text files contained  duplicates. So I wrote Serial Basher V1.0. Serial  Basher is nothing more than a database, in which I  placed all the serial numbers (no duplicates). I also  added some of my own. And this database will be updated  periodically as more serial numbers are found. To use  it, press the UP/DOWN cursor keys, or PgUp/PgDn keys to  locate the program that you are looking for. Once found  press and the serial number that you can use  will be displayed. You can also press the first letter  of the program you are looking for, and it will take you  to the first program starting with that letter. When  you see Name, BBS, Registername, key, code, etc... you  must enter the information EXACTLY as you see it  displayed. You can not place your own information for  registration, unless otherwise stated. Also alot of  names are case sensitive (I.E.: Batman, xxx, Nobody,  ???). If any serial numbers don't work in lowercase,  try them in uppercase and vice-versa. Also if more than  one serial number is available, try them all, until you  find one that works. *** CRACKS *** BACKUP ANY FILES YOU ARE GOING TO EDIT!!! This program started along the same lines as Serial  Basher. I had various information on how to crack  software programs. I decided to place that information  into a similar database. I know there are protection  removal programs out there such as Locksmith, and  Rawcopy, that do the job for you. But where's the fun  in that? This database will tell you what editor to  use, what file to edit, and what hex bytes to search for  and replace with. This gives you a chance at hands on  experience in cracking your own software. To use it,  press the UP/DOWN cursor keys, or press the PgUp/PgDn  keys to locate the program you want to deprotect. Once  found, press and the information on how to crack  that program will be displayed. You can also press the  first letter of the program you are looking for, and you  will be taken to the first program starting with that  letter. WARNING: I STRONGLY SUGGEST THAT YOU MAKE A  BACK UP OF ALL THE FILES YOU ARE GOING TO EDIT!!! *** CHEATS *** This database started because a friend of mine, gave me  the idea to add a cheat database to my little list of  programs. Similar to the other two, this will give you  information on how to activate many of the cheat codes  in many of todays popular games. To use it, move the  cursor over the program you are looking for, and press  . (Keys you are to press, are enclosed in < >.  Also, any passwords, cheat codes, you enter, might be  case sensitive. Try them in lowercase if they don't  work in uppercase). *** WHY? *** Now, as to why our little group started.

I recently read an article  in a computer magazine, about John Ramero, and John  Carmack (creators of the DOOM series). Both of these  guys have 3 ferrari's each! This was money gained from  the sale of DOOM alone (a Shareware game!). Think about  the money they would have made if it was commercial  right from the beginning? Those guys aren't hurting for  money. We feel that it is unfair to computer users that  they are not able to evaluate software to see if it  suits their needs. Many people have purchased software  simply by the way the program looks on the box, only to  be disappointed with it, therefore wasting hard earned  money. Would you buy a car without first test driving  it? I think not! How can software companies, expect  users to buy their products, without first getting a  chance to test it? They will send copies to large  corporations for testing purposes, but seem to forget  the small users who actually buy the software. This is  where we come in. If you have used The Pirates Friend  to break the protection, or get a serial number for your  software, then you have 24 hours to test that software.  If it meets your needs, please purchase, or register it.  If it does not, please delete any and all copies of it.  There are many advantages to purchasing or registereing  your software. (1) Technical Support, (2) Upgrades, (3)  Manuals, (4) Legality, and (5) Control of the Industry.  When companies who create good products are supported,  then they will be encouraged to produce more and better  products. I will continue to pirate (and crack)  software, until those big name software companies, come  up with a better way of allowing people to test their  software prior to spending so much money. *** MEMBERS *** Members of WASP are: Lawson H.
