Here we go again ... Of course It's illegal to operate a Website (blog,forum) with copyrighted informations on it. It's illegal everywhere.

There is a difference of course if you're asking your members to buy FTP access on some server on which you have uploaded movies,games, tv series, etc. That's bigger crime than providing the links from some site (RapidShare,MegaUpload,etc.) , because you're actually profiting directly from the copyrighted movies,music,tv series, etc.

It's not legal to run warez sites that link to warez, however some do get away with it.

i mean illegal in which sense?

If you haven't noticed. Warez-BB is:

- Family community
- There is no porn
- Only normal ads are being shown, no porn, or malicious ads.
- Owner is cooperating with all copyright organizations.
- Nothing can be seen when you're not registered.
- They're not encouraging their members to upload anything.
- They're pretty much the old school.

So who would be against Warez-BB Owner, and why? I know, I would have nothing against such person.

i am not against him. i just gave u an example

so u can run any warez site if you live in USA? (with offshore host, no files on your server)?

[SuicidalMedia]

I know you're not against him, I was giving you example who could be against him? Even cops are using Warez-BB.

Sure, you can own a warez forum anywhere in the world, especially if you're smart enough not to have those "Earn Money now", "FileSonic pays you", "FileServe", bla bla. You know what I mean, those stupid ads. You don't need "offshore" host for a forum, but if you're that paranoid, you can always buy a VPS in Ukraine, Bosnia, Russia, etc. But I suggest you to cooperate, and if you do. You'd be perfectly fine anywhere, even though some problems may occur if your forum grows fast. And if it becomes a hangout for greedy wannabe uploaders.

But it would be better not to start another warez forum, it's well known that warez became source of the money for lots of people. It's good to share with friends, but it's not good to share with everyone. Give me one good reason why should everyone have Otep's discography? If everyone had access to download it. She would earn NOTHING from her album(s). Because it's pirated all over the world.

If you want to start a site, start a private torrent tracker for YOU, and YOUR friends. Never aim high, such as: "I want to start a worldwide warez forum". You'd be no one compared to them. And frankly, If you were a film director/writer, you wouldn't like that your film one day after its released on a private torrent tracker gets leaked by some 14yo kiddo via RDP on all warez forums, and not because he liked it. It's just because it will generate the points.
