Why was the thread about the FairUse4WM program deleted? The thread did not give instructions on how and where to warez anything. It was a tech news thread discussioning a program that just happened to deal with warez.

Really though, let me get this straight. We can't post links to tech news websites like Engadget anymore because it talks about a warez program (keeping in mind it doesn't condone or gives instructions on how to warez anything).

Am I banned now for providing the above link? :rolleyes:

If you can't be quiet I am going to give you a permanent professional response. Your choice.

Not trying to get banned here just trying to figure out why exactly the thread was deleted.

The moderator deleted it not for the content but for the arguing in it.

I'd suggest that Mike was being friendly because "a professional response" is not what you wanted. (Personally, even if he wasn't friendly, I'd never diss a Board Master on his own board.) ;)

This is a public board and GGX is constantly promoting piracy. His views are EA stinks as a company therefore I pirate thier games, actually means he pirates everything he can get his hands on, this DRM removale kit just goes to show this even more.

I've stated multiple times that I do not pirate anything other than EA games. Not even EA Sports games for that matter.

I've also made it clear that I do not expect anyone to pirate anything because of me. Nor have I tried to defend my actions.

Actually I was quite alright with that answer.

Just for the record I made a thread about it to that was deleted. I think I called it "DRM Cracked!!!" All I did was give a brief explanation of what happened then post a link to google results for the story.

Oh yeah, even sites like neowin.net have been running this on their front pages.
