I can 100% assure you that I have never ever used "warez". I have friends that have but all of their computers are messed up because of viruses from those evil "warez"
well if you're smart you won't get spyware and viruses. i have not used warez. Most people around here actually go out and buy the products
Stealing is wrong, dont do it
the big companies are cracking down on it now.. their sendng out bots that spider out and report the IP of an iilegal copy. Sure you might not hear of it the next day but eventually your turn will come and if you have a buissness Ip oh boy your in deep doo-doo for your buissness.. Possibly jail time and definatley a fine, oh and that job forget about i youll probably be blacklisted from the industry or somthing. 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. One major example would be photoshop: it runs $500 plus... now how many people are going to buy photoshop to do a banner for their website, or a sig for the forums? Any one doing any serious work would buy it because they can, and it is less risky. But by dl'ing it "illegaly" the product gets out to more people, which could even result in a greater profit for the company. (the product selling itself, as it were) Also there are several legitimate, legal uses for "warez" sites. say i have a legal copy of warcraft III, a no-cd crack would fall under the fair use claus, as would dl'ing a .iso (albeit it probably would be easier to make one) and then mounting it, to give the affect of a no-cd crack. Ditto with movies, say i have a vhs/dvd (and no dvd drive) By the fair-use clause i can (well actually i don't think it has been brought to court on this point) legally download a copy Van Hellsing so i can watch it on my computer.
QUOTE 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) These are all ways in which Warez can be distributed as, but not all of them were invented for the purpose of piracy. Rips- Rips were generally used for backup. Just in case your CD or anything else gets ruined, you still have your rip, or backup and re-write it again if possible. It just turns out that a lot of people use this rips to promote piracy and distribute it to a lot of people especially via web. ISOs- Once again, these were invented for the use of backup. Not all ISOs are evil Warez. You can even create your own ISO from anything you want, and it doesn't neccesarily have to be illegal. It's like storing a CD in your Harddrive. FTPs- o.o I use FTP for getting my work projects when editing. Never did it cross my mind that it's used for pirating purposes. Needless to say, not all FTPs are illegal. Cracks and Serials, without a doubt, are illegal. Basically, it's about using a commercial product for free by obtaining a crack or serial that overrides the Registration process. Bittorent and some P2P could also be a medium for sharing/distributing illegal material. Those things were originally created for the purpose of sharing "clean" files, but of course, the evil human nature shall never cease to look for opportunity.
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
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!! QUOTE(mackygood @ Jan 15 2006, 05:37 AM)  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. photoshop $700 Maya free/$2000/$6000 Dreamweaver $400 just a few i know theres more out ther that cost alot... QUOTE(Richard @ Jan 15 2006, 09:41 AM) I can 100% assure you that I have never ever used "warez". I have friends that have but all of their computers are messed up because of viruses from those evil "warez" they are idiots... to not use the right sites... (i have done this for cracks for games i leagaly own... I can prove this because i have the disc the case and eveything...) QUOTE(far3 @ Feb 1 2006, 01:25 PM) Stealing is wrong, dont do it the big companies are cracking down on it now.. their sendng out bots that spider out and report the IP of an iilegal copy. ha no they arnt... its the person that does the crack or illegal copy so they can send you a *BLEEP* load of ads/pupups/spyware/viruses/backdoors/trojans... and more.. so i laugh at you... the cracker of the program will find this while cracking it and bypass this... QUOTE(Tyssen @ Jan 14 2006, 05:32 AM) 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... QUOTE(rvalkass @ Jan 14 2006, 06:44 AM) 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. 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...

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.

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.
