    No one is arguing about being forced to download through it or use it. The point is, it's shady. For example:

    You join a company. You find out the CEO promotes snake oil/pyramid scheme tactics aside from the job. You don't have to join it though, you can continue making money legally by working there, but you know the guy in charge is doing shady shit. Wouldn't that set off red flags?

    The point isn't about "well you don't have to USE USENET", it's just about being shady. My 2 cents.

    the best and least expensive alternative is real-debrid. you can link to it through the banner in my signature below. sign up for the 180 days option and it will cost you less than ten cents per day.

    The point is that @SAiNT is the owner. Therefore, he can, and will continue to do, as he pleases. And please let us keep shady out of this. The whole idea of downloading non-legit software is as shady as it gets. Let us don't be hypocrites about it. Go to the developers site, pay for it, and you don't have to deal with AudioZ. It is what it is.

    Topic is a little more complex than OP sees it: can we consider Audioz a 100% ethical website?

    there is a difference between 100% ethical and a crystal clear rip off to ignorant new users

    I take it as personal as you took it. You and everyone else, me included, should be grateful for AZ. Whining about usernet in AZ is nitpicking.
    How come you did not create a thread titled "I just want to thank @SAiNT for AZ" or " I want to make a financial contribution to AZ". I said it before, and will say it again: this thread is camouflaged whining. Indeed, you could have send @SAiNT a PM. I guarantee you that he does have an explanation for it.

    Yes, it's terrible. So traumatizing.

    I came to audioz and a few minutes later the usenet mob showed up at my door! They kicked my door open, held me at gunpoint and then they forced me to click on the usenet ad. It was horrible. Worse than that though, they also forced me to sign up for an account!!!

    Oh the horror. :thumbsdown:

    Bro, who is ripping people off? Usernet or AZ? You made the wrong choice, and now want to blame AZ for the uninformed decision that you made. You should had come over and ask us which service to pay for. The irony of it all is that you went to usernet to rob and got robbed. If you paid via credit card, contact your credit card company, or Paypal.

    1) Its not a personal problem , I didnt get robbed but many people did just type usenet.nl on reddit and see for yourself
    2) I appreciate what @SAiNT Does and I am grateful and I see no contradiction between appreciating the site and the site owners and pointing out a potential scam to users I dont understand why you take it as an insult I am sure SAiNT himself wont
    3) I never blamed AZ I dont understand why you steer the conversation to portray the problem as whining , its not , I am not asking for omnisphere keygen

    Let's assume a real life scenario: suburbs of a big city, you are addicted to some drugs and you will have periodic meetings with a drug dealer. Now, what environment are you in when you go to make your weekly purchase? Do you think you will find a fair and environmentally friendly atmosphere? Transactions with receipt and possible free refund? And tell me, those people you see sitting near the drug dealer: would you invite them to dinner at your house with your family?
    I believe that our experience in real world streetlife can also help us on the internet, protecting us from the pitfalls of shady links

    I'm uderstand now, thanks!
    links to usenet see unregistered/unlogged users.
    what's the problem? register, log in and enjoy...

    p.s. one glance at such a link is enough to understand that this is clickbait and scam.

    Option 1 - There are TWO donate links right at the top of the page on audioz. Use them if you want to donate and support the site.

    Option 2 - Use them today or the usenet mob will show up at your house and break your kneecaps and delete all of your pirated plugins.

    To cancel the subscribtion you only have to email em.
    Or at least in my case it was as simple as that..
    Personally 99.999% of the time id follow a link for a plugin via usenet, i could never find what it ws i wanted to download.
    Its great if you can find what your looking for though , not so great if you cant.
    Hehe "We have to also remember usenet is actually running on the base platform for what we know today as the internet"

    Or am i wrong in saying that? , its possible i had too much to drink when i came across that lil nugget of info..

    I hope i aint wrong coz lookin like a dickheads never cool.
