The way I see it is this. Medal of Honor is copywrited. It is illegal to copy it without the owner's explicit authorisation.

Warez are illegal copies, whether you intend to buy the game or not.

I've seen someone state that it is not illegal to own a warez of a game for 24 hours. I've seen someone state that you can own a warez copy so long as you buy the game when it comes out.

I very much doubt that would hold up in a court of law in any country, let alone the US.

Perhaps I am wrong, but I am almost certain that warez are illegal no matter what the intentions of the owner are.

I, for one, am patient. I'm going to wait until the game comes out and buy it then.

I used to copy games on my old Amiga system. God, those were the days. I was fully aware that it was illegal, as is even copying a simple cassette of music for your own enjoyment.

Copywrite law is exactly that. The law that entitles you to copy something. I can assure you Fairlight (old time swedish cracking syndicate who have been around since the Atari ST days, and who also cracked MoH) do not have that right.

Nor do we.
