Warez Softwares

[GekiDan]

Warez are softawares that are illegally distributed in the internet. They are pirated by many hackers and give them for free.
They use files like Key Generator to generate license keys so that you can use it on your computer.

Honestly, anyone here using warez softwares?

I never dare to use them now would use them in future too. 99% those softwares are added with Trojans and Viruses.

You are right. 99% of them are full of viruses.
Honestly, I use some but not all of my softwares are warez.
As much as possible, I search for a free alternative. Like GIMP and many others.

Better take caution if you are using any of those. It wont be a problem if you have a strong antivirus in force. Better scan such softwares first before installing.

That's what I regularly do. And I immediately delete ones that got virus in it.
But come to think of it, expensive licensed softwares makes people use these kinds of things.
Am I right?

You are right. But not all ordinary or casual internet users can pay that price.
So they gamble on these pirated products.

Hmmm you seem to be right too. But then isant it risky to use them. Can you fall in trouble or get convicted for that???? Or is it that no one cares. A bit reluctant to use them

Well, if you are in the US, I think you are in big trouble.
I don't know about other countries, unless you use it for business purposes like internet cafes.

LOL I dont think any thing that is illegal in US would be legal elsewhere. Whatever is illegal is illegal no matter whatever the location or the country be.
