Fred from France has sent you a private message via www.filterforge.com:

SUBJECT: I need help - Filter Forge pleaaaaaaaaaase! ;o)
Hi, man!

Well i'm fred, i live in Nice (french Riviera near Monaco) and i try
desperatly to obtain a free full version of the last filter forge
because im an addict of photoshop (my web site :
http://www.kreazone.hbg.fr) and i dont want to loose time trying to
build filters that i understand nothing and too poor to spend 299 S to
buy it (to expensive and anyway im unemployed for the moment). I picked
ur mail on the forum so can u be so cool to give me a hand and send me a
code for the last version (only the last, the 010 not the 009 cause i
allready have it) or maybe the full one in a .rar pack on my mail :
lefredus@yahoo.fr)

It could be great - cause i really like all the filters the others have
made and i d like so much to use them in may future works.

If u can do something for me please whrite to me back.

THX

Fred

Mon site a été mis a jour! Retrouvez moi sur http://www.kreazone.hbg.fr

A tout de suite...

----I told him no, suggested he just buy the $99 version at 1/3 the cost of the make your own filters version, and told him to stop bothering people from the FF forums, cause ain't none of us dumb enough to give him our serial code. He replied (above). I am not responding to him further.

I kinda have a feeling we won't be seeing Fred around here again.....

He has admitted to a criminal offense of owning a stolen version of ff and stealing all our work the guillotine then a trial is what he deserves It a pity there isn't a way of deactivating the version 9

----He emailed MadRaven too, and she doesn't even have a full version yet I don't think. He probably just spammed everyone, wonder if he hit Bella and Vlad ha-ha.

Crap...and I was gonna ask you all for your serial numbers. Looks like Fred beat me to it!

lol, just kiddin' of course!

send him the secret serial number that when he inputs it, it will make his harddrive wipe itself.

indeed

I like this idea! Is it legal to do?

I feel left out...I was never asked.

I was, but my first reaction was to contact the Support Team about it. They let me know I wasn't the only one that brought their attention to it, so I felt things were in good hands and didn't bother saying anything on the boards.

Oh well, he's probably gone by now... just wanted to keep a low profile till it was taken care of

Hehe, it's not really special to be hit by a warez thief. It's like getting fleas and no one wants fleas because they bug you and make you uncomfortable
SO be glad you were spared, Ahimsa... I hate stuff like this, I just don't make it known openly.

Hehe, I know... but it happens all the time!
I've heard excuses that they bought to product but lost their product key code, could they borrow mine, please. If that were the case they only need to go to the company and they are usually very good at helping their 'paying' customers

Hey, where is everyone today?
In fact, where has everyone been since Monday's big Filter Uploads?
It's getting lonely in here. I miss all the chatter I was being entertained with by the guys and they don't seem to be showing up much any more. Hope I haven't offended anyone or said something stupid

i have never been cheeky in my life...flippant, arrogant, beligerant, sarcastic, yes, but never cheeky!

woohoo...another one:

doubleM has sent you a private message via www.filterforge.com: SUBJECT: i want to create some more filtershello rawn, i´m so sad. my trial licence of filterforge is finished. i want to make more filters (for a higher chance to get a free licence of this real good program) but i can´t install another trial version. what i can do? can you help me?

ahimsa wrote: I think sending him a note letting him know to ask FF for an extension would be the answer he is looking for. He is not asking for the serial, he's asking for more time to make more filters and maybe earn the program.

Vague, but I would have to agree with Ahimsa....much different than Fred.....DoubleM has been putting some effort into it.....

Maybe it's your avatar; it's very buisnesslike.

Ok...since this guy felt the need to write me back, I think it only prudent to share the stupidities:

I saw u had posted a copy of my mail on the FF forum! looooooool ( no comment!) well you know anyway im no more interested with Filter Forge - I tested it and i have Psp Actions (scripts) and other softwares like autofx etc... that work as well or much more better. There is also a COMPLETLY LEGAL way to make it work for ever if i wanted to do so is 1°) ----deleted-----.. and its done! you can "play" 30 days more...ever and ever What do you think of that ? You thought i was a pirat but im not...just a man who is bored to see people trying to make money, money, money instead of sharing, sharing, sharing.... thats why ill never go to visit USA! Dollar is a false god! Love an charity are the real one and smartness too! ;o) VIVE LA FRANCE!

my responce:

I dont know why you felt to need to contact me regarding this, if you are done with your experience of FF, then go and be gone. Obviously the community there is loosing nothing by your absense. What you consider legal is pure bullshit, finding ways to use something beyond the use offered by the creator of the product is piracy, pure and simple....and yes, i have no problems outing you as the pirate you are/ Though if you did read that thread, you will notice that I never made mention of your name or any such thing. I dont know what kind of blind ignorant oblivious world you live in where you can think yourself self rightous for stealing software, or asking others to steal it for you. This is the real world we live in, money is a vital part of it. Software like this could not be created and made available if the company does not make any money to cover its costs and expenses. This is life, this is reality..deal with it. If you want charity go to church, business is business. You can go scratch your chalk drawings on the sidewalks of france, and have people throw quarters at you if you want...so enjoy your "free artist" status (I just hope people will give you your chalk for free too, so as to not offend your rightous sensibilities) Get a grip

I doubt Fred's way would work, it's about the same as setting back your computer clock, and that hasn't worked on most trials/demos in years ha-ha. Fred doesn't even send personal messages, he cuts & pastes, I got the exact same message from him, so no reply from me, Fred ya lazy punk.

Ummmm, YOU are the one trying to get out of paying for the program. Are you saying that if FF were a "French program", it would be free for all? Not surprising...history has shown that France is willing to give away everything...
