O.k  the only way to defeat WAREZ is to price it out of existence. For
example, I have been searching the net ober the last 2 weeks for a
pirate copy of Crusader no remorse, however when I did find it the
files were huge! I set my ftp program to retrieve all of the files and
decided to go to Wal-Mart and do a little shopping while my computer
was hard at work breaking the law. While in Wal-Mart I went to the
electronics section. Guess what I found. Crusader No Remorse "a CD-ROM
CLASSIC GOLD EDITION"  boxed for a whopping $17.95!!! I bought the
game and raced back home to terminate my FTP program. Moral of the
stroy? The software companies should follow the lead of origin
software. People would rather buy a reasonably priced game with all
the documentation and support than download some hacked-up pirate
version. Personally, I find it very difficult to pay +$50 for a game
that I may only play a few times. Lowering prices would do more to
cripple warez than arresting 100 pirates or shutting down web pages.
An across the board reduction in software prices would generate a
dramatic increase in the number of units sold and would induce the
more "timid" consumer into the gaming market. Let's stop flamming each
other and work with the software companies to reach a compromise that
is half "stick" and half "carrot". Reduce prices- Reduce warez
