It's simple, it's been already dusscussed in the forum at least once:
announcing warez site on a public place is a pure promotion and it harms the
authors even more.
There had been questions and suggestions on how to handle the situation and
the best response I heard was to inform PalmGear or Handango as both have
bigger interest than us in shutting warez sites.
It's an endless battle and it already showed that posting a warez site
causes a lot of "me too, what to do now" and "trace their IP address, go to
their provider" etc. postings in the forum. I agree that everybody has right
to be informed, but if there are already developed ways to process why not
use them? Why do we have to repeat the same story over and over again?
This is the only reason I don't post the warez sites. I don't hide it, due
to my connections with countries in Eastern Europe I get warez sites on
regular bases without even looking for them. How would you feel if I
constantly post them here? And I don't think I'm the only one in the list
aware of warez sites in Eastern Europe (hint, hint)...what if all the guys
start posting?
Once again, posting in public forum is not my choice. It's like bringing a
golden brick in the middle of Bronx just to say "see what I found" ;-)
Just my two cents and apologies for being off-forum-topic.
I won't comment more on that.
