Captain sims C-130 has been cracked :-/ I feel bad for Captain sim. Mods if you know how we could shut this guy down ill give you the web adrees. There are also pmdg  stuff,eaglesoft,captainsim and others

Not really come as a surprise. Such a popular addon, someone was bound to do it.

I just can't see why anyone would want to put any time and effort into uploading files, just so other people can get it for free. If I'd paid for an addon, I sure as hell wouldn't want others benefiting from my purchase...

Today, I heard from one of my friends, that the PSS 777, that isnt even released, has been cracked!! Now that's fast..

Sad for the developers..

The only thing you can try and do is report the person to their ISP

I think that they just would laught, many of them just don't know what is FS and those problems are just  like a lego toys. I even heard that  PMDG MD-11 can be downloaded somewhere.
They have other problems like spam, or even criminals and some other (it  is not polite to discuss those problems in this forum because of the kids)  and many providers  are not paying attention even to free mp3, etc.
Yes, It's not fair, because illegal copying is criminal too. But there is a difference in levels in our world
"You know what I think? This guy is just playing with millions of dollarrs, stealing  art pictures , but there is a  roberry with blood out there, and I'd help there, rather spent time with those mad mans" - said the policeman in the end of the film The Thomas Crown Affair.
I like those words
So can you imagine a word with absolute law power? If, so can't even make a ground step like in road 64

Unfortunately reporting anyone to their ISP gets you ....... NOWHERE.
My Wife is a chatroom moderator, as I have been in the past,  the main part of her job is to police the under 18s chatroom on the site. For several years her, her colleagues, the tech staff and the owner of the site have been trying to gain evidence of Overagers in said room. Last month they started a concerted effort to gain evidence using undercover senior moderators, my wife being one, entering through the standard user portal and then taking screenshots (FSScreen has been a boon to them) of the private messages sent out by these overagers. Meanwhile the tech guys have been getting ISP evidence having been tipped off by the undercover mods.
Earlier this month several people were reported to their ISP's and the evidence gathered sent with the report emails.
In every case the ISP replied that this didn't show evidence of any wrong doing despite the screenshots of unsolicited perverted PMs and ages given when asked.

There you go ....... pointless because all the ISP is interested in is bringing home the dosh.

Its not just one guy, you can donwload any P2P software and find thousands of FS cracked stuff, its just a matter of felling guilty by stealing.  I couldn't steal, I only buy what I want.

Haven't wer discussed these matters enough in the past? (Ex. PMDG 747)

It's a everending story of piracy. Like the universe, piracy is infinite. It knows no bounds. :-/
