    Well, DRM companies? You hate pirates so much, get your ass out on the open seas with some cutlasses and cannons and fuck them up.

    I think it was the Russian navy that was just asking permission to rough these guys up... I wish they'd hurry up and do it, especially since the pirates have captured ships FULL OF TANKS. Who cares about just the game shipments, they're taking a piece of everything that passes through the area because the mainland is just as lawless. It's time to get blasting and stop standing on ceremony - this is an emergency. By now it's been a few actually... It's time to sink some pirates.

    Piracy like this is scary shit. Don't they kill everyone on-board once they looted everything?


    It's not just games affected by this. Food, guns and ammo,etc are primary targets. Pirating software is one thing but actually killing or endangering lives of other people?! Not cool...

    I blame the Pirates of the Caribbean movies for popularizing piracy, and so will these pirates if they know how to spin the media.

    They're just daring me to go pick up a PS3 just for Little Big Planet. I wish I had any interest in anything else that's PS3 exclusive.

    @Lazlo: Wal-Mart is evil, but not because they have cheap prices. It's their union busting, unpaid overtime for workers, and blatant violation of anti-trust laws that make them evil.

    @Fuzzy Logic: Agreed. Some users here might be singing the joys of the free market, but let's not forget how much harm the free market seems to be unleashing in the US as of late. Wal-Mart is nothing short of an emblem for why and how our economy is so indelibly fracked, and anyone who buys into this scheme is pretty much helping the wool be pulled over their eyes.
