  1. Re:Warez bust on my birthday on Slashback: Banco, Warez, Fiction · · Score: 2, Informative
    Ranger Online (named after the famous pirate killing ship)is busting a lot of software piracy sites these days. RIIA, FBI, Microsoft, and US Customs has hired them to find stuff.

    Rangerinc.com has code developers in Toronto, venture capital from media lawyers in Vancouver, a web page based in Seattle and the scanning operations are in San Diego.

    All the big Microsoft busts, MP3, and warez sites have been busted by this outfit. They're basically bounty hunters. You might have been scanned from this address: 209.95.126.167, they probably have others in San Antonio.

    They regularly troll IRC chat rooms, web sites, for copyrighted downloads. Its a bad time to be hosting a WAREZ site.

    A better idea is to contribute to GNU or some other free software site and don't buy software from the corporate police state. The consumer still has the right of choice.
