This reminds me of a list Bruce sent me once, which I'll include with
full headers for amusement value :)  At the time, all of these domains
resolved to 127.0.0.1 as places you could send an unsuspecting victim
looking for the newest stuff.

I don't know that the word 'warez' is even used any more, now there is
BitTorrent...
