I read that Dassault is quite active in tracking down pirates, and honestly I don't see the need to resort to potentially installing malware (how much ethics can you expect from random torrents anyway) when the free alternatives seem good enough?
They are not good enough, not even close, at least not for me...unfortunately. Its not random torrent btw, solidsquad (probably guys from DS) are releasing every single version.
