There is software 'X' (I will not tell name) on net which is available
for free trial. But I am using this software by dating back my phone
date.
But when I downloaded this SMS software, it crippled my phone. After
reboot, it disabled software 'X'. I had to format memory card. Still
that problem persisted. I had to destroy memory card.
Do you call this routine programming error?
It is bad thing to use some software illegaly. But software developers
around world never came on single platform to find way how a person
living in small town in other countries can purchase their software.
All software developers can open one office in each country through
which they can channel their business. But I don't think it will happen
in near future.
Until then I will have to apply tricks to use software illegally.
