Do you have the new Colin Mcrae game?
Nah man... one tires kinda flat...
I'm laying low on the warez front, for a bit.

Well, it's been out for a while, so I thought you may have gotten it before. I don't blame you for that lowlying. It's just too much of a hassle to do all that stuff these days. Especially when legal problems are an issue. Ahhh, remember when it was more difficult to actually get the stuff, but you didn't really have to worry about any legal action? Oh how fun it was. I actually look back fondly on even dealing with those stupid pompous IRC warezmonkeys. #Warez, #Warez2, #Warez3, #Fatefiles. BBSes. It was actually exciting when you tried all day to get something, people pissed you off, you had to wait for a Zmodem tranfer, and then you finally had your zips. Unzip to floppies or subst a drive, install, and BLAM. You really appreciated that game to the fullest extent. Or upload crap to get your BBS D/L ratio up, so you could get a few games. Ditching sysop chats and other obligatory BBS warezing protocol. We had to work for our games. Now you just open Newsbin or a P2P and click what you want and it's there. Then you don't really appreciate it, and wipe it after a day or two. Then you might get a letter from some large corporation threatening to behead you if you continue to do such stuff. Plus it's made me lazy. Now even mounting games in D-Tools, or burning a couple CDs is too much work for me. 
I'm going to say that internet warezing is nearly dead, at least for the easy routes. We're going to have to resort to Low-Tech old ways of swapping. Copy CDs, and mail them. That's what people did pre-BBS. You'd copy a bunch of 5.25 inch C64 disks, and you'd mail them. I remember people complaining about their parents cutting off their stamp money. Ahh the good old days. They're coming back soon. I can feel it.

The return to the underground...
Its only because K-Rad lamers that we have this problem. Warez just got too mainstream. It became big enough of a threat, for the companies to actually do something about it.

Stupid little jerks. The post office will soon be our friend.
