This calls for a warning: Depending on the country you live in, you may get punished for using such programs. Please make sure that it is legal to do so or at least you cannot get punished because there is no law that defines a punishment or because the law explicitly states that a certain illegal action will not be punished. Before you ask: Yes, in Germany there is at least one action that is defined illegal but will not be punished under certain conditions. I won't write which one that is because the issue has the potential of becoming a starting point of a highly off-topic discussion.
