I always roll my eyes, though, at students looking to get into creative professions (where they intend to make a living creating music, video, films, photography, etc) thinking that ripping off someone else's work is no big deal.And yes: using cracked software means running a program that someone has modified (so that it doesn't phone home to the publisher for licensing info). Certainly large numbers of student-age people have a grotesque sense of entitlement to free entertainment, and when they've become used to ripping off movies and music, it's not such a stretch for them to rip off commercial software, too. Many schools have draconian policies about such things, including expulsion from the school for doing it. Right?As for "nearly ALL" students doing it. James: You can understand that when you asked, "does my computer risk anything?" that people here might, indeed, think that you were talking about your computer. As long as it's not used for commercial perposes.Īnyway, i googled the heck out of this question and oddly couldn't find answers. My question is this, do the downloaded versions have any differences from the original? does my computer risk anything? ( i know mac's don't get viruses).Ī friend that told me about this said that ALL university students download their programs, wether it's final cut or design programs for engineering etc. It seems too good to be true because there are lots of programs that go for over a grand, here you can get them for free in 20 min. I am NOT a professional and will not use any of my work to make money. I was told to just download it on one of the many sites (non torrent), where its possible to get it for free. I want to get right into final cut and not waist too much time on imovie, so ive been looking around. I have over 25 hours of video that i eventually need to edit and put together. I just got my first macbook pro (13" 2.4 ghz + external hd) and im very excited! i love it.
