Reasons for what? i assume you mean hating warez because that is why i post 
here...
1) Warez is morally wrong, and whoever actually buys into the bs and 
contributes to it is no better than someone who rapes little girls. It gives 
you a whole mindset of "i am stealing something i am so cool, i am better i 
want more, the more i have the better i am". You say you cant stand gates, 
which probably means you're not to hot for capitalism either, so why do you 
try and defend warez if the whole mindset is what you have the better you are 
or what "skills" (i wouldnt call them skills) you have the better you are? It 
is the same as you saying gates is a moron because HE has more than you!
2) Warez hurts people who are REAL hackers/phreakers or whatever they are 
calling themselves nowadays..although i never really contributed to the 
hacker community, i think my name has been attached and associated with it 
long enough to know that what gets those guys in trouble the most is a false 
belief that they are STEALING software or credit card numbers and that is 
thier crime, like in the Kevin Mitnick case the biggest allegation so far is 
that he "stole" (more like copied) a "$10, 000" document on either Netcom or 
bellsouths systems...if that isnt the stupidist thing i ever heard! They make 
it sound like he is actually STEALING the whole file and no one will ever see 
it again and he is the sole owner of it now...and that $10, 000 figure is 
also a product of warez d00dez wanting more and more and thier "more is 
better" mindset..
3) Warez d00dez take up too much bandwith on the internet...thanks to thier 
greedy file consuming and leaving thier computers connected while they go to 
school all day, they slow it down for the people who NEED to use it, of 
course this dosent affect me the least bit, but at least i CARE about other 
people..
4) Warez d00dez have this insane idea that Bill Gates is making them leech 
files...that is just so stupid...
If you need more reasons i WILL give them to you! I have millions...i dont 
see how you can actually defend warez and try to make it look legal and 
wholesome, i wish all software was created free, but thats not the way things 
are...you wont get anywhere in life if you try to fight everything that comes 
you're way and bitch and moan about it...some things you have to fight and 
others you have to let go....let it go
Im sure i wont change you're mind, but maybe make you realize that other 
people out here know that you cant just expect to throw around some fancy 
terms and expect everyone to agree with you...i seriously think you should 
ditch the computer and become a real criminal...then you will get caught 
because of you're blatant foolishness....i have NO respect for anyone who 
leechs warez off ANYWHERE! There are no reasons to do so besides you are 
greedy and cant live with what you've got..dont blame gates, we know hes an 
asshole, hes not the one im dealing with..yes, bill gates is scum i think he 
is a jerk, i dont care...i just dont use microsoft products, or if i HAVE to 
i will...but i will not pay $130 for them, i will use something else! If you 
have a butter knife and it wont cut a steak, then you dont go out and steal a 
ginsu, do you?
