One man's efforts to give away the original Assassin's Creed to pirates for free will ultimately cost him $25,000 and three months in a halfway house.
According to a report from the Wall Street Journal, Christopher Anzalone of Charlotte, North Carolina pleaded guilty to swiping a copy of Assassin's Creed from a manufacturing plant and uploading the game before its release. In addition to the hefty fine—which would net you approximately 500 copies of the PC version of Assassin's Creed at the time of release—Anzalone will enjoy five years of probation.
Oh someday he's going to look back on this whole thing and laugh.
