I just wanna make sure I don't get warned...

Warez is copied programs and games.... like downloading a copy of Medal Of Honour instead of paying for it.

Anything you find during a software search in kazaa

johnnymysto · 07-29-2003, 05:16 AM

Oh, ok. Thanks tinfoil!

Why are links to Warez not allowed on the board, but Backdoors to Porn Sites are?

Just something I'm wondering out of curiosity.

Dibbler · 07-29-2003, 06:52 PM

Because porn sites don't usually have 8000 lawyers just waiting to pounce and shut a site down...

Warez are anything stolen and traded electronicly.

a lot of people don't like the word 'stolen'. its called 'denial'.

anyhow, example: I had WC3, i wasn't going to go buy another copy. lotta $$. so i downloaded it. that's a ware.

trading programs, music, games... turns them into warez, ie: stolen goods.

we all try to have moral codes concerning it, also. including myself. for instance, i buy 2-3 games a month and pc games and i rarely get along. so i download the game; if it's remotely good i delete it and buy it. if it sucks then fuck it.

also like roms for games. systems that are obselete and never sell in stores except occasional $10 pieces of shit are more than justifiable. i think letting old games sit and die because no one can find or afford them is a crime against humanity.

i do not support most new game trading (altho i did get the last castlevania. i already at a copy of something elsei d/l)

warez > wares > software. It's illegal.

sadatx · 07-30-2003, 04:31 PM

You can get into alot of trouble for downloading/trading warez. Game Production companies don't fuck around.

At the same time some of the younger guys at the place I work seem to trade stolen games like they were trading baseball cards. It's second nature to them.

Next debate. A guy I used to work with who introduced me to MIRC used to pronounce it WA - RAYS.

i hated that

i think he also looks at too much PRR-ZERO-EN as well.

LOL you're kidding right!! we used to make fun of these guys at school that said "Wah-Rays" too! I thought they were the only ones that said that. people just don't get it, sometimes!
