I will never download the pirate copy.
1. because its illegal and secondly because quite frankly it looks far worse than the final build.
theres no place on earth where its illegal to download a product, misty mith, now if i was to sell the product on and make money thousands of pounds from it, well, then they would have to prove it. so to use it as a test to find out weather i'd like to buy the product, is saving the company money from the cost of promoting it, so if i was the torrent site i'd be sending them a invoice, of what they owe the torrent site, in promoting there product, LOL, I ad a good upbringing my perents tought me to share and not to be selfish, and give, with a good heart, so it says alot about the attuide of a few, and also personally would not hurt now one over somthing of nought , LOL
I remember how a company in the UK was employed by Atari for mass litigations against "pirates". That was on Watchdog (a TV show about consumer rights) in the UK because among other things they threatened to take an 87 year old couple to court for trying to download Turbo Outrun onto their printer/internet fax or some BS LOL (they [Watchdog] had IT experts look at a lot of different defendants hardware and found no trace of the downloads). Whole thing was an Epic fail because the public got the very distinct impression that they were just litigating people at random and trying to rob the public.
Atari dropped it, almost instantly after that and I think they also changed their lawyers, whole thing was a mess. But it must be illegal because one lady who didn't turn up to court got hit with a 6000 pound fine.
Further I'm sure the Torrent site is already very happy to be getting lots of hits it isn't about to be sending Crytek a bill.
To be honest it probably seemed to everybody who saw the TV show that these legal eagles tried to invent additional piracy to get more future business.
it still does not anwser anything, it still a misty mith, lol yes i think the few have tried a lot of crafty tactics and still are, business is like a spoilt child, they always like there own way , lol no matter how it hurts poeple, like i say its the attuide of a few , my upbringing was a good upbringing , lol
