I'm pretty sure that if you download software of a pirate torrent website you can't legally have much expectations of it being malware free...

 

Depends on the site/source. I don't do public torrents so I'm at minimal risk of getting malware. I doubt many people would risk their account on a private torrent site by uploading a bad copy.

 

I didn't say the risk was low or high.

All I said is that if you get malware from such a site you can't blame anyone but you...........

 

Again, if your company makes the software and it's proven that the malware in the pirated copy is from your respectable and serious company (and not put by a cracker or an outsider to your company), then it doesn't matter why you did it, you're in trouble...

Windows is a classic example, some pirated versions of Windows have malware, but the affected can't sue Microsoft because they don't have any proof that Microsoft put that code there, and if they did, and if there's not definitive evidence they'll never admit it...

 

And so are you for admitting to having downloaded the pirated copy, so are you going to sue me ? Because you will end up being guilty too :P

 

Anyway I woudn't go as far as Twestern.

I would just make my software realize it's been pirated and after a certain period of time corrupt the save game....

That should annoy the shit out of anyone playing the pirated copy and there would be no risk of lawsuit there..........( try to sue me because your pirated copy's save game is corrupted and can't be loaded anymore...)

 

Ok, i'm assuming that you live in the US, so before i refute your first paragraph, do yo live in the US?

 

I do but am not a US citizen :P
