Hi, I'm probably going to get shouted at for this, but... Personally, (and I've been using computers for 20+ years) I've never encountered anyone (within the "scene") that made money from warez. I've seen some people selling what were obviously pirate games over the years, but they were obviously not you're average computer "nerds" and got more than a little threatening if you asked too many questions... But "warez" sites? Nah! nobody makes a profit, it's not done to make a profit, it's done for the kudos of having the best "selection" of stuff to download, as well as the prestige of "zero day warez" (having a cracked version of a game/app to download on, or before, the day it hits the shops) I can appreciate that you'd be pissed off about losing potential sales, etc. but "warez" is never done "for profit" what you are talking about is simply theft, not warez, because paying for it is anathema to most "warez doodz" Just my 2 cents... later jb
