Overture Search Terms Showcase Piracy Desire

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the most-popular-porn-stars dept.

swfnews guy writes: "swfnews.com (a slashcode based site) today published this article regarding how Overture's search term suggested tool can be used to see the desired piracy of a particular piece of software. I find it disturbing that more people searched for the crack for Flash Mx than for tutorials on how to use it."

    Cracks are pretty easy to use, so I doubt that many people would be downloading the tutorial for it.

    "in some ways I think that the copy protection issue with software is similar"

    Uhhh.. except that if you're a musician (as opposed to a music label) you make most of your money through live concerts, and you really only make a pittance off the albums themselves.

    I'm just trying to picture the guys at Macromedia live at the Arco Arena hammering out code, panties flying on stage, fans screaming...
