It is illegal. Besides that, they are using our trademarkes illegally so I wouldnt trues'em.

I always encourage people to use the open source alternatives.

There is a very long list of quality Open Source software right here, that is portable and ready to go.
The GIMP is one of my favorites - it's a sophisticated image editing application which does most of what P-shop does, and some things it doesn't. I use GIMP, Inkscape and Scribus in professional work, and don't need to use commercial software at all.

Somewhat off-topic

Out of curiosity, have you tried the Scribus packages I have up here?

I have, but

I actually prefer 1.4.0rc5.
I'll pick up a portable version after 1.4 is released officially.

Sounds good

Once 1.4 is released officially, Scribus is already in the queue to be released, as I have had a 1.4.0RC5 package up for a while, and it seems to be working great. Good to know someone will be using it once it's released. lol

Oh right

That -ng thing was kinda confusing, since the Scribus people don't use that in their naming convention Smile
I'll grab it and see how it compares to the installed version.

Probably dropping it

I'm thinking I'll probably drop the -ng if an RC6 comes out, if final is released, then i just won't do it for 1.5

none of the applications on

none of the applications on that site are legal, they strip copyright and violate our trademark from us and package up commercial apps with cracks, everything about that site is illegal, we are the only site that is doing things legal.
