Damn tattle-tails...

I bet no one's ever been arrested for copying a game in the UK.

Too bad you can't get those rewards for turning in your company (a nice way to say thanks for laying you off).

 

lol, funny stuff.

Isn't it strange how the comics don't press the point that it is wrong, but rather that you should turn them in to get MONEY!!! Disgusting.

I personally believe that the age of data being valuable is coming to an end.

Software piracy back in the days reminds me of Top 50 warez sites.

I remember back in the day when it meant Copy II Plus
And, before that, FID

 

When you can't actually do anything about what you're focusing on, always resort to advertisements.

Ahh, the crappy days of web-based piracy. Shared iDrive accounts, Yahoo folders, servers that lasted for only an hour, "click here to get access", and all of this just for the toned downed "rip" version. I'm liking the 21st century so much more.

I would like to see Bobbies beating down a young child for playing games. That would make a good ad.

A single game, maybe not. But plenty have been arrested for mass copying.
