The Internet: The Future of Warez & Business

[MasterDKR]

It is not usually my business to go lurking in the Reviews section of WJunction, or any webmaster forums for that matter and it came to my attention, in speculation of all that has been happening, warez forums/file hosts as we know it are slowly dying.

We've seen people say, we will be back to the torrent sharing days and the rise of RapidShare (as it once was). But, what is the point of starting a warez site? The internet has an infinite amount of possibilities and ideas and much of those ideas nowadays are the same thing; nothing niche--nothing new.

It was just an interesting thought that came to me and I would like to hear some of your thoughts as to what might happen in the future. Guess all these website owners will have to find a new way to earn money or go into another type of business.

You have a good point, but nothing is new anymore.. if you think about it..any niche you enter is already so competitive.

Warez sites were easy to setup and make profit.. but not anymore

 

[MasterDKR]

Exactly my point, that is why I'm saying we might go back to the good ole' days of sharing for free--torrents.

Past is past..present is present..internet is like life..every single day passes..BUT..you cant return to the past..there is no such return..you cant go back in time.

After the MU Drama, almost 50% of warez webmaster have started a legal site

torrents are unsafe(public),private tracker would cost a lot of money to upkeep.
would need donations which is already done by ipt,scc,td,tl
if you got to do a public tracker,you need like at least 50 people to help out
and you need balls

well, as a downloader i miss the old the day when sites like katz once ruled.
at least for every links there were mirrors to a stable filehost like RS and such.

now, we're only left with shitty filehosts. suddenly these cashwhores who call themselves uploaders are dictating us where we should download from.

People who are in warez have been creative enough in making beautiful WAREZ websites. WAREZ is not gonna die what so ever. But I would say use the creativity you have implemented in making big WAREZ forums/blogs to make something interesting and new.

You will gain much more experience with that instead of lurking in warez. You need ballz to be in warez as QS said. MU going down doesn't matter as there are many other ways to share content.

I would only say people should become creative and think enough to make something useful and make their life successful instead of dying in warez forever.

If you guys think making a wordpress site which will leech news from sites like BBC and CNN is called a "LEGAL SITE" then I would suggest you to get a life and then get a life again.

Warez has been there and should be there, and those who used to call themselves as uploaders were nothing but an insult to warez. Cash whores were never a part of it and never will be.

Warez is where it was and will not be hurt, I think so at least.

traffic is traffic.
they will just have to find another way to monetize it

True!

warez was never a business strategy.

All good people adapt and improve. When we were living in caves thousands of years ago in the stoneage the best developed new ideas and ways of living like the bronze age or farming and survived. The idiots died of hunger.

Humans have always survived, changed and adapted throughout history. The intelligent people will adapt and survive this minor file host problem but the idiots will die or disappear. It's the way evolution and life works. The strongest and intelligent survive.

I'm happy now when most of the filehosts are dead. There were way too many fake archives or one file leading to another... popups, alerts, etc. People were only leeching (remote upload) and noone really cared about the content. I hope things will change now. )

I'm not saying we won't survive, I'm just saying webmasters will have to adapt to the change and realize warez should be merely a hobby and not just money hungry about it. Guess this will make way for the people who really care about sharing? (Torrents mostly)

Good Discussion going on here, keep it up
