| Hephaestos said: itching powder in coke, that would be the same as your game playing 5 minutes then poping a screen saying " thanks for playing, the cops will be there in about an hour to confiscate all your material, and hand you the documents for the trail". This is a response that would be effective and legal (first time pirates would not pirate anymore etc....) (well the itching power could be considered poisoning the users and other things but you should get the point) 360 and MS's firmware are under a license agreement, by bricking them for illegal usage, all MS risks is to have to reimburse the console but in exchange they could sue the user for piracy. Computers are not exclusively gaming tools they are used for work, storage of intelectual property (these two are their principal usage actually) and leasure. Attacking it would have immesurable consequences as you don't know the usage for each user. (say it's a company computer, you harm the company, not the employee and you get all the rewards of a trail against you for creation and propagation of malicious software with the intent of destruction of property) Being a bastard and having deficiency in your moral standards is not quite the same thing. The example of coke shows restraint in that thinking, but your use of LOVE for DESTRUCTION of other's property with the added belief of impunity shows more than a psycopathic tendency. |
So you're saying people should break the law without any real threats of consequence?
The reason pirating is so rampant is because you can do it and not really worry about getting caught. That would at least give people som fear.
Here's a newsflash: if you're afriad of losing all your work things or whatever, don't put your computer at risk. If for some reason you did get caught for pirating you do know your computer would be seized and you would likely never get it back right?
