Is anyone thinking of this logically? In ordinary cases, this would be a valid issue, but in this case, no. The majority of software shared on this website is more than 10 years old. Not only that, most of the companies are long gone. In the case of things which are still copyrighted, buying a legit copy does not benefit the original author/company. It will already have been through several hands before then. This argument is like saying "Apple is losing profit because someone pirated System 7.6" - absolute nonsense. And also, how do we stop it? Ban the members that post links? Delete all the topics with links to non-copyrighted material? That would go down well...Not. Trying to be a control freak on a forum makes you look like an ass.
