I always knew it

I just read a german article about the "dark side of the web" and they gave a few links of warez sites. Among this was also "abandonia.com"

A short translation:
The Underground network
Software-Pirates and File-Sharer are working together in a enormous underground network. Central starting point are special search engines, portals and redirectors, who follow the always changing adresses. Only the shear number of the called websites, shows the incredible size of the underground. But these lists aren't complete by far, but represent only a small choice of well known scene names. *****.am isn't *****.ru, so for distinction we also show the TLD (dunno if it is TLD in english, too, don't even know what's TLD on german )

I blurred the whole warez, cracks, and serial links, since I don't want to get banned for posting the biggest warez list ever on Abandonia.

But hey, we're representing the warez-scene, isn't that joyful?

Oh, and please don't bash me, if somebody already has posted this before, I tried the search, but couldn't find a thing.

Oh yeah, before i forget: It's from "PC Magazin" 9/05

Edit: Saw I forgot to blur some links, but corrected that right away.
