I used it as an example because that is what irc is most famous for now.

I think infamous is a more accurate adjective since wares is hardly what one could call desireable, on IRC or anywhere. Wares, along with the virii that comes with it is the curse of the 'Net - full stop. There is no getting around it or trying to justify it by simply loitering in wares rooms.

Having said that, I am not acusing you of anything, just highlighting that illegal software is:

1. Not all it's cracked up to be. (excuse the pun)
2. At times unreliable/unstable.
3. At times riddled with virii/trojans...

:and at the same time I do not believe that IRC is the place for it.
