BBS Phone

October 12th, 2014

” Informatico in the underworld added together with the use of the telephone card spurred crime. These cards open the door for this kind of large-scale activities. Today you do not need any special equipment. Only dial telephone and number of these cards, and you can call anywhere in the world. Just as participants with more knowledge and motivation are called hackers, those who want to know the phone system are called phone freaks. The use of the tools that are themselves not limited to the phone freaks, but not enough to deserve the distinction. Finally we reached the “tele-pirate” software.

It consists of the illegal distribution of software protected by copyright. We refer to copy and exchange of diskettes that occurs between acquaintances (which is also illegal), but the activity taking place around the BBS systems that specialize in this type of traffic. Access to these services is achieved by contributing, through a telephone modem, with a copy of a commercial program. This professional act allows users to copy, or “load”, three to six programs that others have contributed. Thus, for the price of a single phone call, you can amass a large number of software packages. In many cases, even avoid paying the telephone call. Note that unlike the two of hacker activities and freak, there is no consideration beyond the “prestige” or “motivation” in the tele-pirating. In this case, the acts committed enough to “earn” the title. The tele-pirating is made for the masses.
