Are WAREZ real???
I don't want to get anyone in trouble, so I'm not asking where and how. I just want to know, are warez a online urban legend? or do they really exist. warez = "pirate" web sites that offer free cracked software

yes, warez is real. My friend used to burn whole games and movies to cds and sell them online. He made about 3 grand and then got busted by Microsoft! He just got a warning e-mail and he cashed out of the business and bought a used car with the money.
I think this thread might be closed because it is warez talk regardless.

He sold them ONLINE
 I've seen some people peddling warez person to person, but online is a pretty risky venue. One school my teacher was at got busted for installing office software and OS's without the licenses. There was a surprise inspection, and they got fined around a million bucks for pirating a ton of software. So my advice, buy your stuff. AND keep the license. |

It's not only getting busted. I have seen several cases where ppl downloads this crap and end up with completely messed up systems.

They're ALL questionable, Illegal is Illegal. Buy your software.

Yes, if you definately want to stay on the safe side (for your system and you), go retail or OEM.

ok. I dont want to tell anyone to go out and use warez cause it is VERY risky business. Im not just talking about selling, Im talking about using. I have crashed my system before with warez games. I needed to completely reformat. However, warez is an option for ppl with small budjets that dont mind ripping off developers. for this reason I have stopped using it (guess I AM growing up) but this is a very touchy subject on boards such as these and warez can get you into a lot of trouble so Im gonna leave it at this.....kazaa=warez
