Default Warez

It's a slang term to mean copyrighted software.

Say for instance if I were to post the full game of.. oh, Unreal Tournament for download. Or make the full version of Windows XP available for download.

Of course, I wont do this, but in each case those would be considered warezed products.

In this case, I think they're referring to the files EQGame.exe, along with the EQ DirectX 8 DLL and some other files. Since these are copyrighted, the only LEGAL way to obtain them is to buy EverQuest.

So, if somebody posts any of those needed files here, even if it's intended to help those folks who most likely already have the game, it's still posting copyrighted material and the folks who run this message board (and over all site, I'd well imagine) could get into some nasty legal trouble over it.

In short, they're protecting their backsides.

YOU don't have anything to worry about as long as you don't post any files that you know must be purchased. Or that are copyrighted.
