Hey all,

(New to Lebanon) Anyone know where I can get pirated software for my Mac, theres some stuff I can't download online via torrents due to both unavailability and the time it takes to download....such as Corel and graphic kinds of software...

Thanks a lot
hello ijanawra, I hope someone will be able to help you as I am not Mac expert nor user but IMO if you can afford buying a Mac you should be able to afford buying legal software for it ;)
It's very hard to buy pirated mac software in Lebanon because of the relatively low number of users. The only way you can get them is to download them from the Internet using torrent software.
However, you must be very careful while downloading because some of these software may have malware and viruses packed into them and since you probably don't have any antivirus or such you risk yourself ruining your mac. In addition to that, most mac software get patched really quickly and your pirated copy will get locked down and useless.
Hehe name the software il find you fresh links ;)
Hey Aj, I was hoping to find Autodesk Sketchbook Pro/Corel Sketchpad and Corel Painter 11. Any ideas on prices?

PS. Ayman, the Mac was a gift :)

prices of a pirated CD/DVD in Lebanon range from 1000 L.L. to 5000 L.L. including TVA :P i heard they even got pirated blurays now in Lebanon !
wow @jad are you serious pirated blu-rays is MEGA MEGA Awesome that's why i don't buy from any regular shop movies dvds i download them that way i know the quality of the movie BUT blu-ray tell me where and i will buy all the movies :D
ps : i purchased a blu-ray movie and decrypted the movie it was 20 GB (the movie file alone) so ya Blu-ray movies are 1080P perfect quality (恐ろしい ^_^)
Can't you just uninstall Mac and install Windows on there? Or at least dual boot with windows and have your pirate haven :)
or we can make a deal would you like to trade with my laptop ;) ill post the specs if you want to :)
Lol, no I'm okay thanks!! I have everything downloaded already, from Office, Adobe CS4 SUITE, to all sorts, the only thing I couldn't get was the Corel, and Autodesk, which now works fine thanks to AJ! BluRay movies sound great, cos all of the DVDs we've been getting are not exactly great quality. Since we're on the subject, I have so many already downloaded movies from when I had a 4MB connection in Morocco that I wanna burn, I have Toast Titanium, but I wanna know how to add subtitles (arabic) to a DVD? Any ideas?
No, I know how to add them to a movie on the Mac, I don't know how to burn it onto the DVD so I can watch it on a big screen
you need video converter try iVideoConverter intel , cant you just plug the laptop directly to the big screen hdmi converter ? maybe you don't need dvd player anymore try that
Yeah I was thinking about that, I've never done it before, what cable do I need to buy exactly?
Thank you so much, I'll be checking it out :)
Aj_BlaZ, keep in mind that if ijanawra will probably need a Mini display port to HDMI and not mini DVI. All the new apple laptops come with mini display port and not mini DVI.

Now the problem is that there isn't a direct cable that supports both audio and video (audio is usually not supported), so she will need to do the following:

Mini display port (apple laptop) <---> Mini DVI (or DVI) <----> HDMI (TV)
