Making money by stealing CD keys

    Except they'll (the cd key) get blacklisted when the actual purchaser of the software you stole the key from calls to tell them it doesn't work...

    This is not and has never been standard practice. If they go to the store, they're given a refund or a replacement. If they go to the developer, they're given a replacement and it is assumed the store made an error. They do not pull an old, legitimate key due to what is most likely a seller error.

    No one said your shit doesn't have an installer. That has nothing to do with anything, and if you were literate you'd know that the issue is mixed DRM, not that installers somehow don't exist anymore. How did you convince yourself anyone said that?

    Can you tell me a single problem your torrent + USB solution actually solves here, besides some dumb shit you made up about blacklisting CD keys?

    did you use a compiler with the codes in emails? I mean not all of it was WAREZ. Wolfenstein Beta was free. I made an AOL account before I had broadband on my 28.8 and you would download 1 email at a time with the first email starting the code and ending. there would be like 100 emails easily which took fucking forever on a 28.8 also "Get Right" allowed fixes to drop call files. but yeah. you had to earn your shit back then. everything is 10 second downloads to instant installation these days

    Well yeah, I don't think anyone believed you potentially not looking like a retard for once could be a sufficient motivator.

    ?

    If you mean uuencode yes I used to have to used that getting warez off newgroups or emails.

    Well obviously shareware or beta's were not warez, duh.

    I've still go some of my warez CDs I burned from back in 1995.

    EDIT: prior to getting a CD burner I used to store and sell them on 100mb Zipdisks

    FTP site lists were the primary source though.

    Having to give 3 FTP warez sites to get access to a list of 40 or so etc...and then using sites off that list for other lists...

    Salford University had a T1 line which was the shit back then...spent many hours downloading warez there...and I wasn't even a student I just had a fake student pass

    they weren't WAREZ but they were still using the Usernet emails and using AOL as a dumping ground in the day where bandwidth cost a lot of fucking money on their online service which you would get 10 hours for free.. dump the account, have them clear a credit card to use a new 10 hour. they did this because AOL's "unique users of Millions" were maybe a few tens of thousands of people at best. anything to drive up stock value. was more than happy to use their emails like a 5 dollar crack whore

    But what happens to the poor sap who ends up buying the game and he goes to install it and it says his CD Key has already been used?

    In spirit of OP's plan, I will now rip CDs and DVDs and sell them on the street. Wish me luck.

    Btw, I only read like 5 posts so if what I'm saying is related and not really funny, I'll take that L

    its pretty fucked up getting something and its already been registered. then you go back and try to explain to the computer store that it was already reg and them not believing you.

    especially out of the 1 dollar bin of discontinued. no refunds.

    If they find the game unwrapped and stuffed under a shelf somewhere and turn around and resell it to someone open-box, is it really that far-fetched to say that maybe the game was tampered with in some way?

    well you cant sell something that cant work and not expect to say "Sorry no refunds"

    No refunds is on things you break without an extended warranty or such. you cant sell non working apparatus and claim its a fair trade
