Good, I rest well knowing that our corporate overlords are resting well. What really counts is "The Man's" pocket book. We all know times have been rough and especially Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft are having such a hard time in this recession. Hopefully, this scourge will cry himself to sleep knowing he prevented Kaz, Blamer, Gates, and Iwata from purchasing an extra brick of gold or a damn fine hooker. Seriously, what lower-middle class trash, him and his pirating family deserve it.

@p0wd3rd: Fail. Piracy is a crime that not just effects the big corporations, it also effects the small studios and you, the gamer.

I'm not disputing the loss of income to the industry, but "health dangers"? Can somebody explain that one?

@tim333: With too many pirates running amok, the Northern European Ninja thrives due to an overabundance of food sources and targets for Ninja Vendettas.

Occasionally, this can lead to collateral damage, or, in some cases, innocent bystanders who favor bandannas being beheaded/filled with shuriken without a moments notice.

@Krackatoa or... DEADPOOOOOOOOL!: Yeah, the ninjas are going a bit mad these days. Might be time for another culling.

@tbombrocks: He's a pirate... this doesn't suck, its called justice.

I guess having proper morals must be a terrible fate, as well.

@Ken: Justice for who and based on what?

@cyrax08: Just justice. And based on the fact that getting something you didn't earn is steal, and sell it is selling stolen stuff.

So receiving a gift is theft to you?

@cyrax08: It pains me to see people like yourself scrutinizing and philosophizing everything when normally, a good thing, in the context of real world crime... a book on the law that any layman can understand, get's violated.

End of story. He will most likely get a fair trial, but with overwhelming evidence, it will be a short one. He was breaking the law and whether or not you do it from home doesn't change the rules on the books.

I'm greatly saddened in our world with backbones made of twinkies and "awe, it's ok..."

Too many people just accept the given definition of "justice" Whos to say one mans definition is correct over anothers?
