Not to be confused with the casual Kazaa user, the regular IRC
downloader, or the CD sharing home user,
warez d00dz are part of the darkest internet subculture, alongside beasiality porn, virus
d00dz, and
hotornot.com.
Warez d00dz usually copy the warez from their own software, breaking copy protection if need be. Warez d00dz could be found on the web (http) until the internet stock crash, after which they couldn't find any decent hosting places and took most of their work to IRC or pr0n sites.
Warez d00dz are best used and abused. Without them we would have trouble finding antiquated
abandonware and obscure modern software titles, and even Kazaa needs it's sources -- most of which are on IRC. Their egos rest on how much illegal software they've accumulated and shared for all to see, so download a few files and keep the heads big, but -- heaven forbid -- don't become one!
