- The TEXT HACKER presents...
-
- Another pirate-bashing demo!
-
-
- First of all, I want you to upload this demo to every BBS you know
- of. These ideas need to be spread around a lot more, and you're just
- the person to do it. Include it in your user group disk catalog, copy
- it for friends as a kind of novelty!
-
- You're probably wondering just what this is. Well, this is just a
- little demo for anti-piracy. But what makes it unique is the fact
- that it was taken from pirate disk intros! That's right, this was
- programmed by a scum software pirate. I ripped a bunch of 'em and
- changed their scrolling text messages to say what I want them to say.
- I thought it would be fun to hack some pirate wares, ruin their image
- a little. But I intend to ruin a their image a LOT.
- I'm not going to lecture you on the stupidity of piracy, or how
- brainless software crackers are...that's all in the demo. Here are a
- couple of things to remember:
-
- 1. The screen itself hasn't changed, only the scrolling text. So you
- will see options that you may select, which will either boot you out
- to the desktop or make you reset your computer. If you don't know how
- to get out, just start pressing keys (usually the numbers or the space
- bar) and you'll be out. The reason for this is that it tries to load
- files that aren't there. To save hassle, just do a warm boot after
- viewing the demo if you want.
-
- 2. The messages may vary from demo to demo, but the general idea is
- the same: software crackers are scum. _I_ am not scum because I hack
- files made by people who hack commercial software. Read the messages,
- I made them humorous but insulting to pirates--you won't enjoy it as
- much unless you read the entire message of each demo.
-
- Let's start a trend of hacker-bashing. These people ruin the
- software industry with their childish, idiotic tinkering and have no
- right to get away with as much as they do. We talk and talk about how
- to get rid of them, but we rarely talk ABOUT them. Let's ruin their
- egos, which are inflated beyond belief! Ruin their image, which is
- pathetic to begin with.
- Enough preaching, let's get on with the thing! Remember, if you
- truly love your computer, you'll bash a pirate today! (And
- tomorrow...)
-
- Sincerely,
- Text Hacker
