Warez in poor countries

Its not that studies can make a fortune. You need to have brains to climb up and reach the apex of the society.

But, still I'd like to contradict myself. Education is must and by having a good education, you can atleast have a secured future and a well-planned living, that you wouldn't go on begging or do labour jobs.

Earning from filehosts is a good way to increase your spending money on useless stuffs. Though I don't upload, but I earn from web designing and "other" things. I usually spend it on luxury things (things which aren't necessary, but are eyecandy). For once, I gave all the money to my dad as I haven't thought what to do with it. Also, my second thought for earning online is for experience. Its like you meet every new person everyday and you have to interact with them and make the deal going. It definitely helps you in some way or the other.

I started using computers at the age of 5 and internet when I was 14. Till now I have learned many things which my peers don't even know how to do it. Its like out of interest you learn and then you excel.

I was a noob when I joined the warez scene, back in the days. Anyone could fool me or scam me and I used to type like a moron. But slowly, I learned the proper way for typing instead of the lame SMS language.

Anyways, long story short, earn from warez only for spending and not as a necessary trait for living.

Yes, you are right. But you need both education (school, college) and general knowledge that you learn yourself. Learning just for exams isn't going to improve you

no. it's funny because everyone who uploads warez is a teenager. well 95% of uploaders on KWWH who do for money is teenager.

I guess I'm in the minority then

• I'm in my mid 20s
• Have a post graduate degree
• Live in India
• Have a full time job with a decent salary

Why do I do it? Well, working on warez 1 hour after work everyday can actually make enough $$ to pay my monthly instalments on a car loan and have some left for a few beers every week!

Warez is a good way to have some additional income and it helps if you are in the developing world because of the disparity in cost of living
