/weirz doodz/ , n. A substantial subculture of crackers refer to themselves

|
as warez d00dz ; there is evidently some connection with B1FF here. As Ozone
|
|
|
|
|
Pilot , one former warez d00d, wrote: 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, I released King's Quest IVXIX before
|
|
|
|
|
you so obviously my testicles are larger. Again don't ask... The studly
|
|
|
|
|
thing to do if one is a warez d00d, it appears, is emit 0-day warez , 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:
|
|
|
|
|
[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 Pink Daisy 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. The contrast with Internet hackers is
|
|
|
|
|
stark and instructive. See cracker , wannabee , handle , elite , courier ,
|
|
|
|
|
leech ; compare weenie , spod.
