I honestly believe that if a week or two before a game is released just every few days have some person leak a verion that either bricks consoles or wipes hard drives and then go on pirate sites and say the version is legit that it would reduce how much that game gets pirated. I don't know if it would be a hugely significant amount, but it sure would be fun, and hey, the only people you'd piss off are the ones that aren't buying the game anyways. |
And yet I suspect you'd be liable for a potentially much worse damage inflicted on the downloading user. Wiping an HD certainly doesn't compare to downloading a leaked version, which I doubt is even an offence in most countries.
