NYTimes Looks at Warez

Seems like it's the end of an awesome era. Though the internet warez scene was nothing compared to the old BBS scene.
don't they hang out more on efnet....
oh right, it's because efnet sucks for warez.

The New York Times has a new article up that relates the end result of the DrinkorDie copyright infringement case (the "ringleader" and 5 other guys are in prison), and talks about warez in general.
Is it because relates the end result of the drinkordie copyright infringement case the ringleader and 5 other guys are in prison and talks about warez in general that you came to me?
They at least tried to get a story from both software companies and denizens of the warez scene.
Why do you say that?
Pretty interesting stuff, even if you haven't been following the case closely.
Earlier you said relates the end result of the drinkordie copyright infringement case the ringleader and 5 other guys are in prison and talks about warez in general?

There's detailed background information on DrinkOrDie here. It's definitely an interesting story.
Do you even lift?
These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.
Information will be "free" of couse--and all these discussions will be about as interesting as tips on avoiding sabre-tooth tigers.
Rob Malda ASCDC Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
----------------RELEASED: March 14, 2001
AFFECTS: ascdc 0.3
- A vulnerability in the program could allow elevated privileges on a system with the package installed setuid. Due to insufficient bounds checking, it is possible to execute arbitrary code with the ascdc program. Overflows in the -c, -d, and -m arguments make it possible for a user to overwrite variables on the stack, including the return address, and execute shell code.
- The program is not installed setuid. However, in a setuid installation, this problem makes it possible for a user to execute arbitrary code, and potentially gain elevated privileges.
SAFER
- We are not aware of any solutions for this issue.

Well enjoy your new hole after the BSA gets done with you.
Afterall, they can really give it to you!
On your knees bitch!
Actually, the Linux Warez scene does exist. While browsing usenet groups I stumbled across one dedicated to Linux warez - they had things like Crossover, a linux port of the old game Raptor, Applixware, RtCW, etc...
One quick call to the BSA and his asshole will be that wide.
Posting AC to keep my karma!
That appears to be a dead link. Is the site running Linux?
