DrinkOrDie (DoD) was one of the most prestigious underground software piracy group and warez trading network during the 1990s.[1] On 11 December 2001 a major law enforcement raid - known as Operation Buccaneer - forced it to close under criminal charges of infringement. DoD, as a rule, received no financial profit for their activities. The DoD network - which primarily consisted of university undergraduates - was also supported by software company employees, who leaked copies of software and other digital media.[2] DoD was also actively involved in illicit file-trading with other networks.
