   Here is my opinion on the internet.  I possibly say warez MAKES UP the 
internet, and if it weren't for them so elite "warez kiddies" than we'd 
possibly have only 10% of what we have now today of the net... :(  There are 
just so many.  I remember back about 7 months ago when I was one of those 
lamers.  But ya know, hacking in our area beats warez which makes me happy. 
:) 
 Public H/P/A/V boards with totally legal content, and then sysop talks so 
much $#!T about the warez kiddies...  Geeze, I personally love art (ansi, 
ascii) over warez, cause we have/had a group, FoS in our area.....  But now, 
it is D.E.A.D.  hehe.  
   People pirating back in the 80s had more intellect though =).  Now days, 
"OH MAN, I **HAVE** TO GET THAT GAME" makes em sound so lame now days.  But 
ya 
know what is funny, half THOSE WAREZ KIDDIES are not who you or I think.  I 
was in a *GROUP* for like a week, and wel, the group pres was not someone who 
liked warez, he started a group to bust us all.  But we all never went back 
on 
that irc channel.. heh.  Well, I at least beleive that, but possibly, someone 
was IP spoofin  ;).  I appreciate your opinion though.  But remember, now 
days it is greed, jealousy of bill gates, etc.  Not none of this TRY AND DO 
THIS AND THAT.  They are to dumb now days..  If it were the adults, well, 
than 
it would be better if it were ONLY them, cause with kids, such as myself, it 
is just GREED :)  Who can get what first etc...  It does get funny though on 
PUBLIC boards.   Best places to bust because the board I am takng out 
requires 
MONEY to access em, and then right there, that is when the feds, etc, REALLY 
CARE.  Who the @%#$# should be making money off pirating?  I wanted to at one 
time, but looked through copyright materials, past bust articles, etc,  It 
did 
NOT look to fun.  They charge you pretty good. hahaha ;) .  Oh well.  I hope 
I 
put this warez "30" year old dude in his place where he belongs.. ;)
B&MB,
