    Nulled Scripts, etc is plain Stupid, why do it, you get fined more than the software will cost to buy.
    People shouldnt do it we all buy our software why should people just get it free. :I

    Using nulled scripts is bad but I believe the hosting companies that allow these kind of script is even worse.

    I agree, it depends on the country that the host is on... so those countries dont care for copyright so they take advantage of that allow it.

    That's true, that's the main reason why the off-shore hosts are more expensive.

    They also dont have good security, that is another reason why most sites that get hacked are on offshore hosting.

    That's true, if you are getting off-shore hosting you must really work on the security side of your website.

    Reading the thread I was just thinking, throw out all the moral wrongness of it, Kaiser hit the nail on the head. God knows what other little scripts or back doors that could be coded into the nulled script. People who null scripts are far from angels. Way to dangerous.

    I know right? Im sure they put in back doors just for fun.. not worth it. If you really love your site, you wouldn't used nulled software.

    Well nulled scripts will always be there, but a good person wouldnt use it.. the developers work hard to make it, and we have to pay for it while others put developers out of money, and get it for free while we pay.

    People who use nulled software should be shot (not exactly shot but punished) if anyone tries to host it on my server and I find it, it's an instant suspension, and termination within 48 hours.

    I see alot of nulled forums being advertised on FP, its easy to tell because the links are removed where on normal vb, ipb, and xenforo the copyrights are click able and not plain text. And they also have that /validator.php file.

    Stupid, and I wouldn't join a site running one. Simple reason being you don't know if the information is being intercepted by the crackers or not. Not fun to have all your passwords uploaded to some shady russian ftp site lol...

    Yeah well most sites don't last but that's a good point too. The breach of security with nulled is my biggest concern, morals aside that's not something you want.

    Just caught one running a nulled xenforo today on Forumpromotion, Its pretty sad when they are caught and then try to act all innocent about it despite how stupid they look.
