Are keygens even legal?

They seem unfair, but, are they legal?

What's a keygen?

I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos

It's a program that tracks what you type.

Re: Are keygens even legal?

No, a keygen generates a serial key for a program that needs registering.

I remember someone saying they don't key log but they do track your websites so they can place appealing adverts?

What did you use it for? If it's something that is free, that requires, say a survey, that's more OK than say, something that costs $50.

A keygen is a software cracking tool that generates serial keys. Most programming forums don't talk about software piracy and don't you, being a mod feel that you should do something about this? (lock this)

So are you saying that the forums should encourage software piracy? Since you clearly did not like my last post.
