Leaking

as a developer myself i have no problem with leaking, if someone is downloading a leak it is highly unlikely they would pay for the content. the idea of making addons paid is to, quite obviously, get money for the time and effort put into the addon. but if the addon gets more real-world testing, more criticism and more overall usage with no to very little change in income anyway, leaking shouldn't be considered an issue. just my thoughts

If you can't afford a server then why are you making one???

because some addons are complete and utter rip offs, alot of scripts are $10 for what? An ATM that doesnt work properly?

Hey, not everybody can pay for those scripts, and they are very expensive, specially those who cost 15 dollars and its just a loading scree nlol

I think most people do it due to poor experience and support from the "developer"

I don't always approve of it. Depends on the dev. Addons like VCMod shouldn't be leaked, he's very courteous to people and politely asks for them to be taken down. Shitty, overpriced addons with 14 layers of DRM and no support, leak away.

Since I prefer just to pay for my Website and then Server instead of spending hundreds on scripts since its utterly a waste of money.
