First of all ....I appoligise for taking a topic regarding piracy...Actually im not talking of pirated software but the piracy file sharing Protocol used in opensource...This is not an Encouragement to Piracy.....the word piracy is coz i got that pic with that word...i wanted to relate with downloading..

Open Source Softwares are available for Downloads from Ftp,Http,servers.......So Do u think the Software should be manufactured....Covered in Plastic boxes......Go to retailer....We go and Buy/Order.....We Through it back(Not sure this happens in INDIA)...Is this Ecofreindly?

I am not encouraging Piracy but the way of marketing is not Green in Software Industry...........This is the Point of Argument......

In my opinion, only expensive softwares must be packed in thick plastic cases.
Cheaper ones can manage with Bio-degradable solutions.
(But, usually most people preserve the jewel cases.)

And, yeah Open Source softwares, shared through some P2P or any other means are much better anyway.

And I don't want to comment on piracy.

BTW, did you make that diagram?

WELL......no......i found this funny pic while googling regarding green computing

Buy the genuine software from corresponding vendors website instead of buying from shopes.

Piracy Great...I really Like it..who care genuine S**tS..

Ohhk, we don't want any more such posts, closed!
