Maybe we should get a license

from here and here

I feel kinda bad for the makers of WinRAR. Since their product is being used by ransomware, they're bound to get negative attention out of it. Maybe if enough of us who never got a license finally did so it will make up for the hassle this will surely cause.

People still use WinRAR?

from here

I've used WinRAR in the distant past, but I'll be honest, as soon as Windows started natively supporting ZIP files I stopped bothering with 3rd party compressed archive tools, and I would have thought a lot of other people would have too. So colour me surprised that there's both a large enough user base to support widespread exploitation but also a large enough user base to make criminals consider trying to exploit it in the first place.
