Are keygens illegal? - GoFuckYourself.com

DirtyProfits · 05-25-2008, 11:40 AM

Is it illegal to have keygens on your harddrive? I have a lot of them. Not because I use the software but because I like to listen to that crazy chip music in the background.

xentech · 05-25-2008, 11:42 AM

I'm pretty certain they are

Jens Van Assterdam · 05-25-2008, 11:43 AM

LOL i had the same passion back in the day. There are a couple of e-mags which publish actual tracks every month so you dont have to hunt keygens.

Jens Van Assterdam · 05-25-2008, 11:44 AM

search for this FAiRLiGHT guy.. he is some politican in Florida now.. he still publishs some mag as far as i know

As if lol, I always found that music incredibly annoying, couldn't wait to patch my shit and turn that music off. Man, haven't used a keygen/patch in years.... Brings back old memories.

Vick! · 05-25-2008, 11:49 AM

you Sire, they are absolutely legal.

Here's a more hairy question... is it legal to use a keygen if you have purchased the software but their activation process is too stupid to realise you've reinstalled Windows, rather than attempted to install (copy) the software onto another machine?

bobby666 · 05-25-2008, 01:57 PM

i loved that c64 soundchip music

yep, me too... i load them on my zune!!

Nookster · 05-25-2008, 04:07 PM

Having them alone on a hd is legal. Having them on the same hd or partition as the software it's "abusing" is illegal. And, of course, using them is illegal.
I made a few back in the day.

I don't think that having keygens on your computer is a crime.. but using them is!!

StuartD · 05-25-2008, 06:22 PM

keygens are legal.. using the keys they generate is not.

raven1083 · 05-25-2008, 06:28 PM

I'm pretty sure they are. So better be careful!

Matt 26z · 05-25-2008, 07:44 PM

GFY seems to be getting more and more conservative. Five years ago all of the responses to this thread would have been about the best places to get keygens.
