EDIT: I found out it's actually 9 apps, oops.

Apple is giving away 9 of its most popular applications usually ranging from $5 - $20 since yesterday for a very limited time.

Games

Infinity Blade II

Tiny Wings,

Where’s My Water?

Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery EP!

Badland

Applications

Over

Just thought I'd let people know since it's only around for a limited time and was pretty well hidden, for me anyways.

I use appaddict to get all my apps... lol, only noobs pay.

Or people who don't want to break the law.

Exactly, like I said, noobs.

its kind of like hard rules and soft rules on prison.

Murder and Armed Robbery are hard laws.

If you kill someone or rob a bank the police will try and find you.

Piracy is a soft Law.

If you download a copy of the hangover 3 off of The Pirate Bay. chances are that the authorities won't even know. let alone care. they should be launching DDos attacks against fish like the pirate bay. not chasing then end users. (Because Americans can't shut down a site not in their country by conventional means (walking in and pulling the plug)). I in no way endorse the shutdown of The Pirate Bay.

wrong the cops don't deal with piracy. Only the FBI. and as you may have noticed they have bigger concerns. they won't do anything unless they can prove a single company lost more than $5000 USD. those things you see at the start on movies are just to scare into being a good subordinate american citizen. they are put there by the movie companies not the government.

Sorry Lance, but you are wrong. Piracy is very serious to the owners of the IP of whatever is being pirated. Met a man today who was fined $750k for three pirated movies that his ISP reported, after it was proven he didn't legally/legitimately own any copies of any of the three movies. Computer was confiscated by the FBI also. It's not as lax as you think.

By not buying your apps, you could be hurting the home dev with the new game that may just pay his overdue mortgage next week.

I'd rather pay for my stuff just because I try to be honest, and at the end of the day, theft is theft, no matter who you're stealing from. The mentality that Ipwn has is the kind that will eventually get someone thrown in prison, and may end up hurting other people like owners and devs. Just because you think it is right doesn't mean that it is. Theft is wrong, no matter what way you look at it.

There's not a lot of people I don't have a use for: Murderers, Child Pornographers, Child Abusers, and those who commit piracy, especially when they are proud of breaking the law.

Anyways, thank you Coffeey for your informative thread. I did save some money by legitimately obtaining a few apps free of charge, because the publishers decided they wanted to give them away for a while.

I agree. My father worked day and night to finish and publish an application to the app store. If someone stole it from him because they didn't want to pay for it, he'd be crushed.

Think if you spent months, if not years developing an application only to have people download it illegally.

It would be devastating.

You guys are a bunch of tree huggers...
