Should you use leaks or not?

Using leaks with all copyrights, cuz authors is tried to make us happpy

I think it's fine, as long as you're not stealing from a small creator who only has one sale which was a leaker.

The right answer is no, however you have the power to choose yes or no.

Mass majority of addons of mine are leaked uses, none bought. The collection I have (close to 1k addons), are partly checked (if i use one i check them out firstly).

Some leaks will have backdoors which can be used to abuse server at any given time (or until removal, etc..).

Big name addons like VCMod, etc.. should be bought though, or any other high quality addons that are actually worth buying.

That's why I'm here, I really wanna test something before buying. Also there are some really overpriced ones..

I used to own many Garry's mod servers but stopped like last year but leaks were what helped the server stay alive because some servers done have $250 to spend on addons at the start and I did buy a lot of addons after they had been tested because some addons could be brought and just thrown away because the players dont like it.
Its important as a Gmod server owner that the servers not going to be wasting money, so I think its okay ti use leaked mods and if I felt I should own the paid version of it I would buy it otherwise the leaked version would do just fine.

I would use leaks why pay for it when you can get it for free with no cost.

Yes, you should. I suggest that you buy the script if its from 1 to 8 dollars anything above that use the leak unless you have the money for sure.

Why buy them, Because people but work into the scripts but overpricing is an issue.

Well probably not the "right" thing to do, but it's not super unethical either

I've got 100s of scripts on GMODSTORE, the only reason i'd ever use a leaked script is if a script is no-longer available there. I prefer to help the creators out where I can, plus its nice to have the support + updates.
