Internet, Pirate Capital of the world ? ----------------------------------------- By Sigma Alpha I was listening to Talk Radio Uk a while back, there was a phone call to 'GEEZER' about the InterNet. It was about Pirate sites, he could not believe that it was possible for these to go unmonitored. So to show how easy it is to find out EXACTLY where you can find such areas we obtained a few lists that were readily available from a local BBS. Looking down this list we found a wide range of areas for variable formats. Below are a list of some of the material that was found. the ones that are listed are no longer available, or are from old out of date lists. --====-- 129.132.57.10 /incoming/zarew games + Corel4 130.179.96.52 ?

"/ This Shows an example of a site that proves that such things can go unmonitored even from the sources end. Could you believe that an institution such as Harvard would be the site of illegal pirating of software. 140.115.199.199 login:secret passwd:hahaha MAC warez Here we have an example of how even usernames and passwords are given away with this information. This is not the only freely available illegal material available via FTP sites, also included in these lists are sites advertising hard pornographic material, these sites we do not even show. This shows what half an hour of research can pick up, just imagine what professional 'traders' can do with there on line time and connections. Maybe this proves that the internet is a very powerful tool that pirate traders, crakers have to aid in their work. These signs prove that piracy is not just limited to BBS`S and that it is wide spread even on the internet. So next time you here people say there's no piracy on the `net, you`ll there talking shit, can you believe that Harvard has pirate warez on its servers!. Please note the above sites have are old and may have been closed down, and MiGGYBYTE does not encourage the its users to logon onto these sites. Sigma Alpha IMPORTANT: Please note that although some of these sites are to be found on big and prominent servers, from top Universities to small InterNet providers. This doesn't mean that the sites the illegal warez are found on are part of that sites service. The illegal sites are usually set up via illegal access (Hacking) with out the knowledge of the sites/server providers. In short these illegal sites exist because of bad security and poorly maintained services. Madness End ===
