same concept as bit torrent clients are not illegal but you can do illegal stuff with them. Or a super nintendo emulator is not illegal but you can play illegal roms with it. Get what I'm tryin to say??

right, so thank you for pointing out that a warez is just a game/app/software until you dont pay for it.. and ics is just worthless and unusable without a "crack" or reg edit to trick the carrier

"but how can posting the free program itself be illegal??" because the Free prgram isnt being posted, the "crack' for it is

I kind of feel the same way. A reg edit is only information. What you do with that information is up to you. But the "Hit Man" lawsuit against Paladin Press a while back made the publisher of information responsible for the content it released. A little different situation, but along the same lines:

I dont think you care how people on this site feel about this topic. You just want people to side with you and anybody that feels different you bash them and call them names.
Nobody cares about the difference between warez and tethering. The mods could be using warez for all i know but it doesnt matter they cant be posted on this website and thats it. I dont understand what's so hard to understand about that. WMWifi isnt illegal to download. Warez are illegal to download that is the difference. What you do with you these programs arent anybody's concern but bottom line is ppcgeeks will not let you share warez on their website if you want to do that send someone a pm and maybe you wouldnt get banned lol. Welcome back

uh who did i call a name, oh wait, i called somebody 'genius' in gest i think..

wmwifi is just a paid for "cracked" solution.. were still not paying for PAM like were suppose to be doing.. and im not advocating warez being allowed, im asking for this to be considered into the warez topic and banned as well.. so thank you, but i understand full well what isnt allowed on here., thats why im trying to add to it...

I think you're missing the point. crazychef is raising the issue that warez and tethering are the same thing, something that gets you something for free that you would otherwise have to pay for. I'm not taking sides on what's right or wrong, but I do think he has a valid point.

When WMWifi becomes illegal then it wont be allowed on this site until then theres nothing wrong with it.
If i download and install WMWifi and never use it am I doing anything illegal?
If i download and install a cracked program and never use it is that illegal?

look people, is DVDxcopy illegal as a program, no... just like wmwifi isnt... again, I USE WMWIFI.. so im harly against it.. im pointing out a correlation between the 2 represented topics..

and actually, YES, if you download a cracked prog, it doesnt matter if you run it or not.. the downloading and or sharing is what illegal about wares, not necc the use of

Lol thank you, you just proved my point WMWifi is not illegal so it can be shared here and a cracked program is illegal and thats why it cant be shared here.
