How could anyone outside of Russia shut it down? Do you mean that it is not possible to make this site " non visible " in other countries and \ or to warn people that it is not legal ? Hard to believe If so the WEB should be polluted of illegal sites, from tollerant countries Moreove , as someone else said, the credit card companies should not accept to transfer money

If warez and porn sites are banned, soon the next step would be banning sites with information the government does not want you to read/know of. I bet this is what some people in the government want! More power by surveillance. Only porno sites where minor are involved are not legal You can not find them, or at least it is very hard, on the web Thus there is some kind of surveillance in the web Why not also for warez ?

christian, microsoft products have an actualy oem version for thier products, things like zbrush do not, so they are lying claiming that it is oem when a oem version doesnt even exist. Yea thats why I said I didn't believe $50 for a current version of photoshop. The thing is there are many ways for software to get to the web that is semi legitimate. There are OEM versions, Student versions, old versions etc. Not all the discount software sites are selling illegal software. So you can get a good deal just don't expect free software. @AlbertoT there is no way to tell for sure if a software is illegal until the developer takes you to court. Even asking them if the software is legal doesn't work. They make no money off of discounted software so they do not recommend it even if it is legal. And what a company considers illegal software may not in fact be illegal. Conitecs policy of only transferring a licence once may be in violation of copyright law, I do not know if it has ever been tested in court. @Dan Silverman actually that stuff is illegal in Russia but it is not enforced. I was on a trip a few years ago to Russia and me and my friend went down to the corner Kiosk and they were selling all kinds of software for a fraction of its cost. She said it was illegal but nobody ever was prosecuted. A combination of sticking it to the western companies and not caring. And yes the web is polluted with illegal sites!

[quote=lostclimate] And yes the web is polluted with illegal sites! Shhh! Don't say that! You might encourage more governments to regulate the internet. (cough) I mean most activities on the net are legal, there are very few illegal sites and even fewer that get noticed. lol
