Define "involved with warez". Until I know more details there is no way I could offer any pertinent advice /shrug

DramaticFanatic · 2003-10-11, 07:20 AM

I don't know, depends on how unloyal or uncaring they have been, I suppose. However, if they are your true friends, I would decide against it.

Aztec, I say do whatever you feel like doing. No one on this forum is going to change your mind, I believe you've already made it up.

Remember, don't worry about being anonymous. If you're doing what's right and standing up for what you believe in, then it's time to take a stand and not care about what others think about you. If they were true friends they would appreicate what you are doing and how strongly you feel about it.

my 57 cents

I'm a tech n00b, is warez like file sharing?

If it is or if its something like file sharing, then I wouldn't care enough to report them. Like a gazillion people do it, wtf would the police care if you got two more people?

Again my whole post is useless until I know exactly what warez is.

I NEED TO TAKE TECH CLASSES!

Just forget about it. There's nothing you can do to stop it.

I bet 95% of the people in this thread have warez.

tru tru, i could name half of them too, but i wont.

now i have my own opinon about warez, and freinds, i wouldnt report it, why? becuase A, theyre not really stealing, stealing is when you take something away from someone else, but warez, you DL it, and they still have a copy, though in the end, it means that the people that made it dont get a extra 50 bucks, but if your willing to screw over your freinds because they pirated something, or more than one thing, over a lil money, then thank god im not your freind. sure id turn my freinds in, if they were on drugs, but id try and get them to stop first, and you know what? i already went through such a problem, and i got them to stop.

but, its your decision

AztecWarrior · 2003-10-11, 01:36 PM

I am still thinking about it.

Here are some more facts.

-This isn't directed at X and Y in general. The whole forum.
-This is somewhat fueled by revenge- 99% of them didn't like me before my pseudonym.

I am still thinking, but I probably won't, I'll just do good myself and hope the others will just be good later.

AztecWarrior · 2003-10-11, 01:36 PM

And thanks for your support.

Another idea would be a warning that my finger is on the trigger.

If a true friend of mine reported me for having warez id kick his ass,I dont care if he thinks its wrong and breaks one of those ten commands thingys the holy book or testament or whatever the fuck its called,talks about.If you do turn them in good luck with EVER having any friends,I sure as hell wouldnt want to be your friend after that.Warez is fine,like Hamma said 95% of people here have warez,i sure as hell do,so you might as well turn all of PSU for it.Getting revenge is fine and reporting them is fine ONLY if a)they drank your stash of liquor,b)smoked your stash of weed,c) fucked your girlfriend while you 2 were still dating
Those are the only reasons you should report them,if they didnt do any of those 3 than just forget it.

Not I

Well....not unless I can find an image of the first CD of X-Wing Alliance. Stupid dissappearing CDs

You are doing this for all the wrong reasons, if its for revenge and to make you feel like a good person at someone elses expense, its you that is making the morally wrong decision. If you have already reported them, i hope you feel good about screwing them over.

AztecWarrior · 2003-10-11, 09:24 PM

I haven't, and probably won't, I have to talk it over with my dad.

Some of your comments have been better than others. *cough firecracker cough*

Nimbus · 2003-10-11, 09:56 PM

Here's my advice.
If they are your friends. Warn them. Tell them that you are against warez and you feel that it is wrong. TELL them that you are thinking about reporting people who you know have warez. Don't say specifically that you are targetting them, but just say that. If they continue with their illegal habits, report them.
If they aren't your friends. Bust them, who gives a rats ass.
Don't do it just for revenge. People usually have laundry much dirtier than that. Find something that'll brand them for life.
