"Under the proposed agreement, Altmeyer is barred from ever selling Gears of War 2 again, or any modified Xbox console. He also agreed to turn over any modified game consoles or any parts capable of circumventing copyright restrictions, issue a public apology, pay Epic an undisclosed sum and help Epic identify others violating copyright restrictions, the agreement says."

That's a good settlement right there, when the sum is undisclosed in this cases it means it's insignificant enough to be a joke, or significant enough to form a precedent, but in this case i go with the first because they got the business shut down, the guy has to do an apology and help them identify more... It seems like he was a big fish...

My question for you: Is the guy you're talking about a big fish???

I have no idea how big the guy's operation is as I do not know anything about him other than he has advertisements charging money for his "services".

 

You make him sound like a hooker

Now seriously, it's cool that you are trying to stop gaming piracy, but if he is just a guy doing some things to pay for college and doesn't represent a big threat, it's not worth it (i'm not excusing him, i'm just saying that one has to pick his battles, especially since most of the world has done some copyright infrigement on anything), now, if he's doing serious business and represents a bigger threat, then it's different...

I still suggest that you stay out of this, because either way he's advertising himself, and that means that he has now real chances to get caught, and whatever happens to him, is not on you...
