SafeBytes Software

*Reasons to avoid pirated software

The attraction of pirated software is that it is initially cheap. However, over the long run you will discover that its cost implications far outweigh any short term benefits. The rapid spread of pirated software programs is threatening the computerized world as a whole. This article explains some of the important reasons why you should keep your distance when presented with an opportunity to use pirated software:

1)      You may be committing a criminal act: Remember that someone has taken the time to prepare and test that software. They deserve compensation for their efforts. Using pirated software is theft and there are jurisdictions that will take you to court, particularly if the infringement is done on a large scale or for commercial reasons. A case in point is the enactment of SOPA or the “Stop Online Piracy Act” which has some serious penalties for those who fail to comply with its requirements. It is far better to get original programs like Safebytes to meet your needs.2)      The product you get is of poor quality: By its very nature, piracy tends to produce low quality replicas of the real deal. They are not subject to stringent testing and pilot schemes. Therefore, you can anticipate that these software products are not going to work. There is no logical reason why you would prefer a fake product to a genuine version of TotalSystemCare. The performance of the fake is bound to be worse.

3)      Vulnerability to malware: This is a case in which there is no honor amongst thieves. If you have relied on stolen software then the chances are that it will reward you with a number of threats including the latest computer virus. Sometimes, the people that write these programs leave malicious code which is bound to be triggered the moment that you attempt to use them. It is indeed a very brave or foolhardy person that would place their trust in a proven hacker and thief.4)      You never get an upgrade: The genuine manufacturers have built in an element of punishment for those that are relying on stolen software. They will do upgrades but only for those who have genuine packages. Therefore, even if you are able to scan for the upgrades, there will be a key or password that prevents you from actually using them. Consequently, the performance of your system will deteriorate with time. The resultant problems are definitely not worth the risk when you consider how cheap some of this software really is.

Finally, we must refer back to an old fashioned concept of fair play. It is bad form to take advantage of someone’s work without paying them. The creators of SafeBytes or any other commercially desirable product deserve better. Computer users are part of a system or industry. If you allow rot to creep in one way, there is no way that you could avoid it later. Besides the risks of the malware and computer viruses should give you cause to rethink this strategy. Instead you should scan for the genuine product such as TotalSystemCare and make good use of it.
