GLP warez?

I've heard some things about this, but I'm not sure what is going on. Is this a commercial site or what? Where is this site and should it be reported? Does anyone have an address and has it been reported yet or what? I'm clueless... -CH/\INS/\W IQC: 13346549 "I owe you everything, Scully , you owe me nothing" -Mulder (The X-Files: Fight The Future) "I don't think they will be performing this experiment on Beakman's World." -Mulder (The X-Files: Roland)

I luvz warez.... Just because they***off ***s like you.

First of all, what's this "yes, you really are"? Instead of getting help with my question, I get this stupid remark. Apparently someone is just showing their antisocial behavior. Any who, I didn't say I hate warez, nor did I say it makes me mad, I was just trying to get filled in on what's going on with it... -CH/\INS/\W IQC: 13346549 "I owe you everything, Scully , you owe me nothing" -Mulder (The X-Files: Fight The Future) "I don't think they will be performing this experiment on Beakman's World." -Mulder (The X-Files: Roland)

The bottom line is that warez are typically discussed elsewhere. In the mainstream newsgroups they are sincerely frowned upon and are normally ignored, with the hopes that the people who use them will wander away quietly. If you do a search in something like the Newsgroup Liszt (do a search on Yahoo--remember that Z in there in the word liszt) and you can search for groups with the word warez in there.

The game is on several places, usually refered to as warez sites. I'm not going to post any here (it's illegal). Usually there is no point in reporting warez sites, since they dont last for more than a few days at any one address anyway. I'm pretty sure Sierra is aware of the problem, but I dont think they can really do much about it... Brian Short

>The bottom line is that warez are typically discussed elsewhere. Oh please. The guy was asking an innocent question, all he needs is a simple answer: Warez is a term for pirated, stolen, hacked (sometimes with an added virus) software available on the net. If you're a good boy, or a wise one, you avoid it. Was that so ***y hard? Joe

The original question: If he's asking whether someone should be reported, I assumed he knew exactly what warez was, and when someone ELSE slammed him I explained why. So, is that "SO ***Y HARD" to understand? Oh, please...

I appreciated your help. I just wasn't sure what exactly was going on with GPL, that's all. I didn't mean to make anyone mad. -CH/\INS/\W IQC: 13346549 "I owe you everything, Scully , you owe me nothing" -Mulder (The X-Files: Fight The Future) "I don't think they will be performing this experiment on Beakman's World." -Mulder (The X-Files: Roland)

Thank you Joe. At least I got a good answer. -CH/\INS/\W IQC: 13346549 "I owe you everything, Scully , you owe me nothing" -Mulder (The X-Files: Fight The Future) "I don't think they will be performing this experiment on Beakman's World." -Mulder (The X-Files: Roland)

Thanks Joe for the *** responce, as well as the other ***s. The guy asked a simple F***king question, and some other people had to be jokesters. Mike Dunn

AFAIK posting a URL or IP address to a public newsgroup was about as illegal as overclocking your CPU (which as we all found out recently is one seriously heinous crime). OTOH it does put temptation in people's way, so perhaps better not... John

Sound like what you'd really want to know is : what's the address where I can pick it up? A-ha!!! Now you've done it! And everyone will say : "Aaaah, that bpatter guy... I thought he was ok, but then he asked for the URL to get some pirated software, what a shame!"... Release the dogs!!! Watch out, the WaReZ police is coming for you! Just kidding (nothing better to do... Sorry for the bandwidth!)! Reporting those sites won't help much, as they move too fast for anyone to follow. But if you really want to do something, the DON'T download pirated software. I think that's the only thing we all can do to slow down piracy. Oh and BTW, piracy is not right, but I despise software companies that don't have the decency to get a demo of their product done so we can try before we buy. Not all the stores in all countries do refund games after they're opened. A. Renault

That's probably part of the idea why no demo - if no refund and the game is terrible then those stores may account for the only sales. Try before buying or read a reliable review - if you don't you may buy the "Prost Grand Prix" or "Johnny Herbert" games. Yeuch.... Cheers! John

Yes but does it include spanners/pliers to put under your pedals for that true Sauber driving experience! -- Mike Wallace

Herbert was a pretty hot GP2 player. You must consider how much he is going to earn from those words. Fair play to him. He is never going to get a deal of Shuntmeister proportions from Ferrari :-) Mark

I know, that's exactly why I don't give a damn about his or any other driver's oppinion... ;^) ...maybe he's not as good a driver?
