I've been browsing some PTP forums and one of the posts was about a site that pays you to upload files (like ziddu, uploading, uploadbox etc.) So there was one member who said that they were having trouble getting downloads and another member replied saying that they should sign up for a warez forum, and that they get 100,000 downloads a day from their posts in that forum! So I really want to join something like that and so I went and looked up warez and it says warez is a term used by software pirates to describe software that has been stripped off its copy-protection and made available on the internet for downloading. It also says that use of warez software is illegal and may result in jail sentence. I really want to get quick downloads but I don't want to do it illegally. is warez forums the same as warez? And are any mylotters members of it? Are they illegal?

Your definition is correct. I would not join any site dealing with warez as warez is illegal. File sharing sites like Rapidshare do not allow warez so you will get an idea of its legality. I think warez forums talk about warez which I believe is illegal. Hope I could help! Happy mylotting!

Well, you have the official definition of warez there. To put it in layman's terms, warez is software that is being distributed illegally. Warez forums are forums where members can request for an/or upload a copy of said software. It would be more accurate to say that warez forums are forums where members can exchange pirated software. Since you have already stated that it is illegal, I seriously doubt anyone who's a member of a warez forum is going to just come out and say that he or she belongs to one.

... I never said that. Which part of my previous post did you not understand?

So after reading everyones post there really is no point in taking part in those upload and get paid websites.. well unless you own the copyrights like someone had said.. but how many people really own all the copyrights.. well what about the free updates and software thats out there.. ex. service pack updates.. but i wonder if anyone would really go to a warez site if its already free..
