Activision suing file-sharers RIAA style

[Chemical]

twestern,
You seem to think that as long as these companies are doing it for the cause of anti-piracy it is ok for them to pretty much do anything. What you fail to realize is that your blind support of these corporate tactics will result in YOU, the paying customer, to be screwed over.

RIAA suing a dead old woman

Punishment must befit the crime. When I see that pirates who SOLD games and made thousands of dollars get sued for that money, then I think they got what they deserved. When somebody who cant represent themselves has to pay 100k to a huge corporation for stealing maybe a few hundred dollars, then I see something wrong.

And here is another fun fact, lawsuits like this usually cause more piracy and in places in which Activision wont be able to reach them. Most of the pirate servers nowadays are outside of US and other countries with idiotic copyright laws and usually cant be sued.
