“Warez” refers primarily to copyrighted works traded in violation of copyright law. The term generally refers to illegal releases by organized groups, as opposed to peer-to-peer file sharing between friends or large groups of people with similar interest using a darknet. It usually does not refer to commercial for-profit software counterfeiting. This term was initially coined by members of the various computer underground circles, but has since become commonplace among Internet users and the mass media.
People opposed to warez typically argue that the motivating factors given by cracking groups are not authentic. (source: wikipedia). Below are highly recommended reasons not to pirate or download warez:
- High price is not an excuse to copyright infringement
- Harm is larger than benefits
- Illegality
- Morality
- Professional pride
- Similarity between copyright infringement and digital property theft
- Logical fallacy of the victimless crime argument
- Perpetuation of Overpriced Software
- Security
- False Reputations
