I download a new game... and I will tell my friend that this game is fun, and soon we both might buy it or it might result that we both download it..

Isn't that still stealing?

Peace

Anyway, it's getting harder to make illegal copies run. My latest game 'BioShock' has a Securom Protection, which you must activate online, like a Windows OS.
In Forums, People also report, that NoDVD Cracks don't work on 'Bioshock' as the game freeze after a while.

Peace

I definitly agree. What's the use of getting it in an illegal way, when you can get it or something similar to it legally?

Plus, I love to have the original box of the game with the booklet.


Peace

it sounds like ur a fm 2008 fan

and greeting,

Unnecessary posts have been deleted. I would like to remind everyone that they should not speak from their own opinions, whims and desires. That is not the purpose of the Learn About Islaam section. Rather, all points must be supported with authentic evidence, from the Qur'aan, Sunnah and the Scholars of the Sunnah. Inauthentic information, or information from inauthentic sources have been deleted.

With regards to the ruling on Music and Singing, please refer to this book by Aboo Bilaal Mustafa al-Kanadee (rahimullaah), posted on the forum: http://www.islamicboard.com/fiqh/202...an-sunnah.html

I would also like to remind everyone to stay off sectarian issues in the public forum please. There is a specific forum for that.

Now let's stay on-topic please.

Assalamualaikum,


i don't think music is haraam. As you can see, a lot of songs of nasyeed restrain from

using strings musical instruments because as my ustaz once said the musical

instruments that include strumming, blowing or (well, yeah, with strings)..are similar to

that of the syaitaan's.. that's why..

i hope this'll help..

salaam

I know that music is Haram, No Doubt.

But sadly i still listen to it, it's like im addicted to it, iv'e been listening to it since i was 2 years old.

Hey, even my favorite games, I bought them on Amazon. I just downloaded the game 'BioShock' recently. What a disaster. It took me ages to download (more than 6GB File) and when it was finally downloaded I got an heartattack: It was in italian. Arrrghhh. So I end up buying it.
Same story for good Internet Security. People, buy your software. At least, you can download everyday the new virus database and newest spam-threats.

I'm off from the 'download-all-what-you-can' trip, it's nonsense.


my 2 cents

Very good Point. And i would just like to add that, people should avoid using cracked programs and games as it harms your computer in the long run, the code of the program is tweaked a bit which can cause a change in your computer, i.e. make it extremely slow, crash several times etc.
