Yeah, it is not too useful to argue about warez.
It is more a question of "freedom of information".
Selling warez, or using it in business to make a profit is
illegal. But to censor it, solely because it exists,
is like "judging someone as guilty, before a fair trial".
Also, when you censor certain newsgroups, the warez channels
only move elseware, onto IRC or encrypted newsgroups.
Even alt.test is used to send binaries. Are you going to ban
alt.test?
Same with making encryption illegal. all it is doing is moving
everything overseas, where the U.S. Laws don't apply. So that
leaves everyone in the U.S. behind the "learning curve"
You cannot stop freedom of information, without stifling yourself.
