Installing cracked NukeX 14.0 and trying not to get sued (hexbear.net)

finally got access to CGPeers and snatched a copy of NukeX, I'm still worried that Foundry will still somehow snatch my hardware ID and send me a threatening email. I've already wiped Nuke and all related files from my hardware and nuked my foundry account, anything else I could do in order to shield myself a bit more before I install the crack?

Are you using nukex for business purposes?

If so: You are a REAL dumbass if you are using a pirated copy for that. Because even if we assume that no contract or business partner wants to audit your software, you are one watermark away from being a massive liability for whatever project you were working on. Because if a company/production "gets caught" with the sign of pirated software? They aren't going to be on the hook. They are going to help organize the lawsuit against you because they have a contract that you didn't read that said all your software was legit.

Pirate software for fun and education. Do not pirate it for business. Because you are "fine" up until you work with a company that is big enough to have to care. At which point you are radioactive because you are a massive liability to them and any other company that is big enough to have to care.
