Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

General BS forum I guess anything is fair game in here. Just watch the subject matter doesn't get carried away too much. |

Ever heard of this? Is it even legal?
Found this site called Downloadable Software, and was wondering if anyone has ever heard of them, or if this is even legal??
Some of the offers just seem a little to good to be true. Like $4,000 AutoCad for under $200, Adobe Acrobat for $70. I don't know........Some really awesome deals if it is a legal sale.

I'm thinking they are not legit.
The ridiculous pricing aside, if you do a google search on oemvlesu,
you'll get multiple results that state that they are blacklisted by various spam blocking services.

Yeah, I was thinking something wrong here too. All the agreement BS was shocking actually. I wonder how many takers they have?
HA HA It's probably a federal sting site.

I see keygen's on the site. Which means the software is pirated and it is illegal.

which is for????
I was searching for an Adobe PS CS2 plugin, and that link was there. Than I got to reading about it. Is torrent the same thing? Pay to download software? Never heard of them. But I tend to want a hard copy just in case. That's me.
Sorry for changing the subject somewhat.

No, bit torrents are a way for people to download software without paying for it. It's piracy in its purest form. A torrent is a peer to peer file transfer service that tokenizes the identification of a file and pulls bits and pieces from whatever sources are available based on the DL schedule you set up, and it pieces the file together on your end when it eventually gets everything.
I'm amazed that someone would even cop to doing this, it's immature and just plain illegal.

Rick are you looking to upgrade the Photoshop you have to CS2? CS & CS2 are not much different then the last upgrade Adobe did on the software (I believe 7.0).
I also guess I should have clarified post #6, I was referring to the website Sara provided.
