I'm not here to talk about how to get warez ... but just wondering...

WHY do these people do it??
I mean, there are these special groups that are specialised in doing these (such as AXXO for movies and Razor1911 for games) ... BUT WHY??

What do they get back as a return??
They are human too, dont they need a real job and earn a living??

So whats in it for them and why they SPEICALIZE in doing these stuff??

they do it for hobby..

and to build up skill also...

aXXo just re-release scene releases, I think he/she even re-encode them.

The scene groups mostly are doing it for the lulz.

You can read more about warez at Wikipedia.org

To me, the scene groups do warez mostly for:
1 - fun
2 - challenges of cracking software protections
3 - sharing as in sharing is caring

however there's also lame group that sells their releases for profits, which is considered unethical in the scene.

They have job and live like the rest of us. Some works at big softwares/games retailer (so they can stole game and release it faster on the internet) and some do work as doctor, or lawyer or whatever job you can think of. They also got members working in company like Intel / AMD so they can get hardwares to experiments at low cost. And they also have their own carder to buy expensive softwares/games/utilities illegally.

They get respects, early access to all scene releases and most importantly, they feel damn great they'd able to defeat the so-called uncrackable software protections

what do you mean by that? i know there is a group called LOL

It means they do it for fun, not the group LOL...

mostly just for fun like FarCry3r jonglik asellus said

My answer is "Sharing is caring", and not for fun. :

The more the merrier... its a season to be sharing....

they do it coz when u see ppl say thanks and admire u, u feel great!
they get certain respect on the net..

they do it for kicks la. Wudnt it be cool being a legend of warez stuff on the net? aXXo is so famous that others are imitating him. lols

LOL. Being cool by releasing warez stuff sounds like an Average Joe. aXXo isn't that famous and others aren't imitating them. There's lots of quality groups before aXXo.

Why do people share/teach/help/become mods on LYN?

Some people love challenges
and the demand for their 'services' or 'skills' are quite high

hmm... so they do for the fun of it....... @_@

i guess it's that human mentality that says that i can do better than you and your c*** protection is no match for my skills....people...people....

heard of sharing is caring. Only person dont like to share will say what u just said. First not everyone so rich like u everyday spend few hundreds on CD & DVD.

I think we should move this thread to Kopitiam if TS would like more answers and prevent this thread from becoming dirty. Btw, who is aXXo, sounds like a**hole.

Ya..agree on this,cz some of the warez forum u must post a thanks before u can get the direct download link.
