You must know that just keeping warez available on your systems, makes you
eleigible for copyright violations? My daughter dated one of these
warez-pirates for a while. Pirate is exactly what most of them are.
Unlicensed commercial software is what most of that stuff is. Which means
that copyright violation is exactly what you are doing and condoning when
you knowingly leave that stuff there. This makes both you and your company
vulnerable to shutdown. Have you never heard of a software audit?
