Can anyone direct me to a good warez discussion group? I just used the
remainder of my monthly bandwidth dl'ing what was supposed to be the 3
Encarta deluxe cd's, only to get an error when I run the SFV files ("FAILED"
CRC mismatch). I'm wondering if there's anyway I can recover this junk,
like maybe the bonehead got the file names wrong or something (which seems
fairly common). Any suggestions appreciated.

Ohh, you poor bastard. You paid for that software fair and square by

even post it right (or whatever the actual problem is that you're too
clueless/lazy/inbred to figure out). F---in'-A, man.

And yeah, you're right, this isn't a warez discussion group. So I'd
have to wonder why you're asking where to find one. Are you not
capable of searching Usenet and the Web? If so, owning, er I mean
warezing, a copy of an encyclopedia is probably the least of your
worries. Punk.

Maybe he owns a copy and was looking to download this as a backup. Not
likely, but possible.

Well, I don't see why he'd need to *download* backup copies of CDs he
owned, unless his were damaged (all three of them?), but in any event,
as much as I don't really care if people pirate software for personal
use (not that I endorse or practice such risky, illegal activity), I
found his post offensive on other levels.

So you're here to discuss what, all those mp3's you make from the cd's you
purchased?

Go fuck yourself, hypocrite.

My my, you'll probably find my reply even MORE offensive, but for rather
less cryptic reasons.

Did I mention you can go fuck yourself?

He didn't say anything hypocritical. A bit harsh, maybe but not
hypocritical. You come here blathering about the remainder of your
monthly bandwidth like it is anyone's fault but your own you used it all
up trying to download a 3 CD piece of software to avoid paying for it and
then go on to call the guy who posted it a "bonehead" because *you* can't
figure out how to use the damn thing.

You didn't find the warez here, why presume to ask about it in an mp3
group? Why is so far fetched to assume that the people here are actually
here to discuss, err, mp3 and not warez? I'd think warez groups would be
simple enough to find for a bright lad like yourself.

I don't see any hypocrisy in criticizing software piracy, regardless
of one's position on downloading music. They're both files to
download, but are distinct types of products. My position on both
issues, though, is that I consider downloading rights-reserved works
unacceptable from a purely legal standpoint (contrary to the "my way
or the highway" view of the typical downloader, who says that
copyrights themselves are outdated with regard to personal use), but
also unpreventable. The DMCA is absolutely intolerable; copyright
holders should have to go through normal legal channels to prosecute
piracy of any kind.

More specifically to what I personally do, I engage in relatively
benign music/video piracy (almost entirely from premium Usenet
providers), with the intent of moving to reasonable legitimate sources
when they become available. I do not practice software piracy at all.
I do consider it distinct, in that software is a far more tangible
good than simple sound/picture recordings. That isn't meant to
belittle the rights of any copyright holders, but I do also think that
legitimate software distribution has used downloading where feasible,
whereas the music and video industries have largely fought tooth and
nail against making use of the Internet, and even abused their power
by using copy protection, and seeking unfair legal remedies to
downloading like the DMCA.

That's probably in question. Since international laws/treaties are at
play, it could be a long time before we really know how legal it is in
different places.

Countries that are not signatories to Berne copyright accords. Iraq was

McCartney's revenue stream. I think there are some other Middle Eastern
countries that have not signed Berne, possibly some Asian countries as
well. All of North & South (IIRC) America and Europe have. Russia has
also, though I'm not sure about all of the breakaways. The Soviet Union
did not recognize copyrights. One of the problems for cash-strapped
American symphonies and chamber orchestras is that many of the Russian
works they were once able to perform for free are now back in copyright.

Even in ones that are, though, the issue of casual downloading could
still be in question. Marijuana isn't technically legal in Holland,
but that doesn't stop it from being sold in shops. The issue of how
copyrights would be enforced on casual online pirates could ultimately
make such file sharing de facto legal in some countries, which might
not want to enact laws such as the DMCA, and moreover not give any
real assistance in suing sharers.
