Weird...then wtf was he doing to his OS system?ThorPrime wrote:Actually, Apple intentionally does nothing to stop people from stealing the OS.
OSX has no serial codes to check. To require that would go against Apple's core idea of making software as easy to use as possible. Entering a 32 character, alpha-numeric serial code is not easy for say, your grandma. (Or at least, alot of grandma's) And those are the types of people apple tries very hard to reel in.
Alot of games require a serial because they can get away with it. Most gamers are more power-users.
Alias can make people go through insane loops to register their software because they are a giant selling software to professionals.

I don't know what was wrong with your friend's update, but it wasn't because he pirated it.Grayswandir wrote: My friend is an idiot. He downloaded 10.3 and then decided to use auto update. The computer wouldn't startup after that...even with the CD...heh
It could have been a computer problem, but it installed fine (it said) and then asked for a restart. It shutdown and then wouldn't start back up...I laughed at him for trying to pirate system software.

Alias' software is literally imposable to crack. If someone were to crack Maya for instance, they'd mind as well write their own software ! But Lugaru Serial #s work on infinite computers. Buying it would basicly be cracking it, because then you'd just have to post it on the net... and stuff... so, yah.

HEY, anti crack measures, here, this is how you make it difficult, (although it means all buyers of lugaru gett a CD) A cd check, so you need to insert the CD, thats the easiest to crack, But then, you do a Built in CD check, so INGAME before starting any maps it checks for the CD. Similar to Battlefield 1942. They did very well at preventing crackers. I myself have a LEGIT copy of that game, because the battlefield series is the best damn series ever. anyho, This ingame cd check is hard to crack, I wouldnt know how to crack but from what i hear thats the truth.
