Unfortunately, in a number of countries, we can't touch people that steal software like that, ie Russia and China.  In a report I did earlier this year or the end of last year, some places like China have 94% of all software in use stolen.  So for people in some countries, it is irrelevant if it is legal or not.

Then there is the case of Spore and a few other games put out by EA.  They include a securerom that helps protect against copying, however it is a rootkit that can only be removed by a complete reformat of your PC.  This is part of why Spore is the most stolen game right now.   Now I wouldn't trust a warez site, however now I also don't trust EA anymore than a warez site.

WARK!
