[quote=eehjhay]How can a member wont violate the forum rules if pirated software is allowed?[/quote]
[b]You can make rules for this specific section stating that this section is allowed for posting pirated sotfware and it must be their responsibility for any cause trouble.[/b]
Downloading pirated or crack software is their own responsibility too. Cracks may contain viruses and trojan that can cause problem on their computer. So better scan it with their anti virus or scan it thru online scanner like
www.virustotal.com .
Its also the poster responsibility to post a screenshot of the scan program/software if its clean or not. So the member can see it right away is its clean.
Lets say the program or software is dirty with some malicious file or a trojan (even it is a false report of the antivirus) , its the member responsibility if they still want to download that specific program.
Requesting pirated or crack software will be avoided because they may scare to ask one (nobody want a virus or trojan on their pc).
With this rules the member will think twice to use a pirated software cause it may can contain malicious file.

Or to make it more easier try the search using the word " rapidshare.com, rapidshare.net , megaupload.com, divshare, uploaded.to
I did not post the other thread because they use the direct link of the original software.
Still the best way to share software without violating the rules is via site pm. With this you are not posting the download link on public . In case the original programmer came here in this site, they will not know that members are sharing their software.
