There needs to be some regulation on any platform, and without it, you get bullshite like those guys. If PC gaming DID die, it would be a huge negative to me, but I would take solice in the fact that they would now have to actually pay for gaming. Excust my language, but I wish their sorry asses would get thrown in federal rape prison, 10 years a dollar.

That is unholy bugshit insane, every word of it. You cannot mean what you just typed. Do you not believe in the principle of a punishment fitting a crime?

I've got to go to bed, work early. More on this tomorrow, but I just want to say this, the things I wish I could do to the pirating community is far worse than federal prison could dish out.

That said, no system of justice can work without being just.

What I WISH would happen to them, is not what SHOULD happen to them, so to answer your question, yes, the punishment should fit the crime. I say make them pay double, for pain and suffering, and then ban them from the internet, for taking advantage of it.

This is not in any way making the punishment fit the crime.

...well how bout this.

When you get caught for piracy exceeding a certain relatively small amount...

YOU DO GET TO GO TO FEDERAL PRISON

Yet, I'm batshit crazy. Except that the legal system agrees with my worst, most hostile wishes.

You have a problem with the US legal system, if you have a problem with the punishment not fitting the crime.

It's actually a stiffer penalty than child molestation in some states.

And yes, it should carry a stiff penalty. Punishment is sometimes used as an example, and doesn't always fit the crime. Especially in real like, not some hypothetical question that we debate on these forums.

Pirating IS illegal, arbitrary or not, and doing it makes you a criminal, and in the eyes of the law, you're a much worse criminal than one would assume, for doing so, and might, just might, end up in that federal pen, where what happens?

You know what happens.

20 year old skinny dork pirates are like PS3 exclusives in there. They get everybody talking, and then you really learn the meaning of a used game.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.
