warez

[patrickp]

hello guys and gals
I'm new to this and need some input. wondering in what position i bring myself if i am downloading and using such programs???
Am i performing an illegal operation which can be punished by law if detected??????
what can i expect from those warez?
are they running properly like the original versions or do i have to fear implemented trojans that spy out my pc???
do people who crack or rip them and put them on a server really do this to supply people with lower income with expensive retail software????
or are there some other aspects i am missing out??
am i safe running the appz for evaluatian purpose only to make a purchasing decision later?
are there safe warez at all or are they all infected with viruses which destroy my beloved new machine??.

Really want to hear some opinions
thanks,pat

You can never be sure.

I've seen comp's brought to me that had Warez that was totally infested with Viri and I have seen warez which was a "clean bill of health"...

As Jad said...You might never know.... until it's too late either way.

btw many "expensive" software makers have atleast demo's or stripped down time trials avaliable from THEIR websites
