If it were me, I'd kill the pirates from the inside. I'd place a mole in the group and sneak a virus code into every pirated game. That way, everyone who downloads the game would end up having a fatal system error in their consoles bwheeheh

Someone actually did that.  They got sued... and lost.

Which is kinda silly but, hey.  I dunno.

You can't do that.

What you can do is make the system stops working after a system update though....

I don't get the difference, but hey i'm not a Lawyer.
