Valve software has released a fake copy of Half-Life 2 onto the Internet in the hopes of tracking and catching pirates. The very unconfirmed rumor includes a quote from Half-Life creator Gabe Newell:
We're running a bit of an experiment. We're keeping track of the accounts that do this and will be shutting them off.
I m not sure if I buy it, but if it s true it s a very cool concept. I don t think it would be too hard for a developer to do something like this either. Pirates be warned.
