about warez software ....

[almud]

i just switched to mac from windows...
even though i have purchased all my software, a big temptation lies ahead:
cracked (warezed software)
now here comes my problem:
some mac users told me that if you use warez and your computer has an interet connection it will block. (or many other variation on the same issue)
so my big question for you
WHAT HAPPENS IF I USE WAREZED SOFTWARE ON MY MAC????

many thanks
cheers

What happens? Well, for starters you're going to be on your own as no one here discusses warez and other assorted illegal software use here. Something that should have been made evident on the board rules that every new user is supposed to look at:

Pay close attention to number 3. There's your answer.

thanks for that mate....
but my question was let's say for educational purposes, because i've heard too many answers and each of them slightly different, and i just wanted to know what really happens
anyway...
sory for breaking the rule....won't happen again

cheers

The educational part of this thread is: Read the board rules. As nixgeek stated, the important point is number 3.

But because it's often difficult to decipher such FAQs, I've put the relevant parts of that third point in bold:

"No asking for serialz, hackz, or warez, linking to them, discussing or anything related, including MP3z, Pr0n and related piracy items."
