Please support original one. Because if all the people of the world use pirate software, music album, movie and many, there will no publisher will be publish again.Indeed, entertainer also will not publishes their goods too.Pirated (Warez) will down the economy of countries.
Warez are illegal copies of software, music, and games running through the Internet. Says a guy goes to a store, buys a legimate copy, goes home and zips the thing and spreads it through the Internet. Result : Millions of dollars lost by companies who spent years and years of hard work developing.
Forms of Warez Include:
"Rips" -- Mentioned above. Rip it and zip it.
"ISOs" -- CD image
"FTPs" -- "who owns this place?" FTP server full of illegal stuff
"Cracks" -- Programs set to remove copy lines in software to bypass the evaluation period.
"Serials" -- Somebody buys it and gives away the serial to a guy, who gives it to another guy, who gives... (you get the idea)
Seriously, if this continues, soon there's gonna be nothing to pirate.
I hope all the members of Trap17 are all anti-warez.
I am sure this list will be useful to people, as most people who download warez don't know that it's illegal, but just think that it's one of the things that happens. One main point: if it looks to good to be true, then it probably is.
I think, however, it should be made clear that not all CD ISO images and FTP servers contain illegal material. For example, many Linux distributions can be downloaded as ISO images to install them, but this isn't illegal. Also, many developers of freeware software allow people to download programs via an FTP server, but once again, this isn't illegal.

Yeah, I agree with rvalkass. However, it's usually pretty easy to differentiate between legal and illegal sites. Here are a few distinguishing features of most warez sites:
-These sites with warez usually have multiple pop-ups and huge banner ads. -They also have many links to porn sites. -They write "Warez" in huge, bold, flashing writing. -Keywords on these sites include: serial, crack, keygen, warez, gamez, porn, hentai
On legal sites, you will usually see stress placed on words like freeware, open-source, GNU and GPL. These are signs that the programs are already free and can be downloaded without worrying about copyrights and the like.
^ Right. Since you've started that tutorial or info on warez, maybe you can explain the punishments you can receive because laws are different in different countries. Another sign to watch out for is that when a site tells you to download something, it keeps going to another page until it's obvious that there is no downlOad.
Right, there's another telltale sign. Some warez sites post this on the entrance:

Something like this...
It's a hoax
The Internet Privacy Act does not exist!
Additionally, former U, S. President William Jefferson Clinton never signed into law any legislation which in any manner restricts anyone's access to Web sites selling illegal items. No similar law exists anywhere in the world.

however, some stuff are way too expensive and actually catered to a more prolific market. For example, state of the art video editing and sound recording software are in thousands charging such high prices becasue industry users have no choice but to pay. However, if we use it for like hobbies, non-profit, personal, I don't see reason in paying so much. I may only be able to afford a lousier program and that means this program is wasted. What they can do to prevent piracy is sell a version that only liscences people for personal use and not for industrial use. That version could cost much less since you know its the average interested guy that purchases it. Then again it may not be cost effective as the market for this version may be too small to even bother ensuring the industry giants do not use this lite version.
IN the end, I support warez for this kind of stuff because you just have not choice. However, for things within affordable range (i.e. less than 500) than you should purchase them if you want them. However if you think its too expensive then dont use them because it is most likely not the fault of the company to price it so high (producing it may be expensive). They may know such as software is aimed at the layman, normal guy market but have no choice. In that sense using warez will make them lose money. However, if their price is structured not to target buyers like ordinary people (you and I) then it will not make them lose money to pirate it. They will just have less additional revenue.
500????? dollars?? What kind of software needed in your daily life could cost over 500 bucks? An average game costs, only about, say 50 bucks up and down.

QUOTE("catfish")
One peticular point which im surprised hasn't come up yet is that in many cases warez DOES NOT hurt the profit of the company.
No offense - and I do mean that - but you are an idiot, 'catfish'. I won't even bother arguing with you, other than to point out that software piracy does hurt the company, regardless of how much the original product costs or how much they make.
Anyway, there is no disclaimer or warning you can post on your site that is able to override a warrant, court order, subpoena or other formal legal proceeding. So if you are enough of an idiot to think you can get away with hosting illegal files on a webserver somewhere, at least don't make yourself look even more retarded by posting such a notice. Oh, and no, the Internet Privacy Act does not exist.

Well they certainly won't be hosting any on Trap17 servers cos they'd get shut down.
not enough bandwidth on trap17 normal free hosting... and i can bet you they wont buy the hosting... they are most likely hosting there own servers...

true it may be freeware... but also look at this. what you may be downloading is freeware but it may conflict with a games tos... such as d2 and maphack... its leagal for a maphack to be made but its not leagal to use the maphack in the game... win win situation while its a loose loose as well...

anyways i do and dont support warez... i do in the sense for some of the programs to have fun with such as photoshop which i got from my computer class i would go get that if i didnt get it by taking the class that i was in... and also a program called Maya its around 6000 for the whole thing... and im tryin to figure out and play with programs... i have yet to find this version out there but there is a free one they offer but the features i want arnt included... but w/e im not looking for it if i find it ill get it and use lol...
Warez is something that should be discouraged, it is highest promoter of piracy, Waraz not only drains out the money of the Developers but also promotes bad things, Consider yourself as a software owner, i mean maker and your software being used illegaly, it is really bad. I have a formula to remove piracy, i think we should make everyone realize that a material thing has more value then a virtual one, you have a software at your computer it is virtual, you have a software on a CD it is physical. Piracy is BAd!!
well the terms are well known by any user that want to get full and not expensive programs. I think most of us have used them before even thinking in buying a very expensive program
