themselves as <span class="firstterm">warez d00dz</span>; there is
|

|

evidently some connection with <a href="../B/B1FF.html"><i class="glossterm">B1FF</i></a> here. As

‘Ozone Pilot’, one former warez d00d, wrote:</p><div class="blockquote"><blockquote class="blockquote"><p>

Warez d00dz get illegal copies of copyrighted software. If
|
|||
|
|
it has copy protection on it, they break the protection so
|
|||
|
|
the software can be copied. Then they distribute it around
|
|||
|
|
the world via several gateways. Warez d00dz form badass
|
|||
|
|
group names like RAZOR and the like. They put up boards
|
|||
|
|
that distribute the latest ware, or pirate program. The
|
|||
|
|
whole point of the Warez sub-culture is to get the pirate
|
|||
|
|
program released and distributed before any other group. I
|
|||
|
|
know, I know. But don't ask, and it won't hurt as much.
|
|||
|
|
This is how they prove their poweress [sic]. It gives them
|
|||
|
|
the right to say, “<span class="quote">I released King's Quest IVXIX before you
|
|||
|
|
so obviously my testicles are larger.</span>” Again don't ask...
|
|||
|
|
</p></blockquote></div><p>The studly thing to do if one is a warez d00d, it appears, is emit
|
|||
|
|
<span class="firstterm">0-day warez</span>, that is copies of
|
|||
|
|
commercial software copied and cracked on the same day as its retail
|
|||
|
|
release. Warez d00ds also hoard software in a big way, collecting untold
|
|||
|
|
megabytes of arcade-style games, pornographic JPGs, and applications
|
|||
|
|
they'll never use onto their hard disks. As Ozone Pilot acutely
|
|||
|
|
observes:</p><div class="blockquote"><blockquote class="blockquote"><p>[BELONG] is the only word you will need
|
|||
|
|
to know. Warez d00dz want to belong. They have been shunned by everyone,
|
|||
|
|
and thus turn to cyberspace for acceptance. That is why they always start
|
|||
|
|
groups like TGW, FLT, USA and the like. Structure makes them happy. [...]
|
|||
|
|
Warez d00dz will never have a handle like “<span class="quote">Pink Daisy</span>” because
|
|||
|
|
warez d00dz are insecure. Only someone who is very secure with a good dose
|
|||
|
|
of self-esteem can stand up to the cries of fag and girlie-man. More
|
|||
|
|
likely you will find warez d00dz with handles like: Doctor Death, Deranged
|
|||
|
|
Lunatic, Hellraiser, Mad Prince, Dreamdevil, The Unknown, Renegade Chemist,
|
|||
|
|
Terminator, and Twin Turbo. They like to sound badass when they can hide
|
|||
|
|
behind their terminals. More likely, if you were given a sample of 100
|
|||
|
|
people, the person whose handle is Hellraiser is the last person you'd
|
|||
|
|
associate with the name.</p></blockquote></div><p>The contrast with Internet hackers is stark and instructive. See
