Is it pronounced "wares" or "war-EZ"?

Also worth mentioning that none of the people that actually used cracked copies called them 'Raubkopien' (at least none of my friends did).

DeepL says it means 'Don't wait, boy!', but I don't buy that

No, I've heard many people say the word "warez" (pronounced like wares; goods; stuff), but never pronounced how you describe.

Don't copy warez, boy! We verbified the noun over here, so waretus/warettaminen = the act of making a pirate copy or downloading a pirate copy. :-)
