Re: Warez Vs. Tethering
First, thanks coolwhip for a laugh and a good read. Congrats to Darren on 5000 posts!
I tried to stay out of this one and just let it be a good and entertaining way to while the day away reading through the thread. I posted, talking about pop tarts, and got called out for it. I like pop tarts, so sue me.
(getting back on topic)
This is a grey-area topic. The tethering hack exists, and works. It isn't just posted here, Ive seen it posted at Sprintusers too, and it's probably out on hundreds of sites. It's a registry edit. Period. It isn't stealing someone's software, or a cracked serial for a pay program, but it does allow one to "cheat" the system. Why all the hubub? I wonder about that. I suppose it's a good topic to rant on as that has been done here, and the mods have allowed it to continue unchecked, with more anger than resolution. Everybody has their opinion, and are entitled to express it. I don't use the hack, and have no need for it. I do however, like pop tarts.
