Fbi Goes After Warez And Game Release Groups

Quote:

---

The operation targeted more than 100 individuals and several game-specific warez groups, including Fairlight, Kalisto, Echelon, Class, and Project X. More than 200 computers were seized during the course of the raids, including 30 servers--one of which had in excess of 65,000 separate pirated game, movie, and software titles on it. The DOJ estimated the value of the pirated software seized in the operation as $50 million.

What?? Are there not enough terroists to find?! Are we suddenly at peace with the the loons of the world??!! $hit, no one told me?!

Say a Christian prayer and you're trampling on peeps rights, say ANY other prayer and it's all good..........of God, don't get me started!!!!!!!

son of a bitch. now i know why hitman 3 hasn't been released yet, those bastards :angry: :(

Great use of government time and money. :angry:

FBI can suck my hairy balls :angry: , hope Hitman 3 is released :(

u never kno: just cuz they've been busted in the US doesnt mean that they dont have partial, if not complete backups of their servers somewhere in germany or china :)

hell, i wouldnt be surprised if theyre still pumpin out pirated games n movies even after this fucked up evo.

there ARE release groups in the UK, and they can release games as well.

Why are these games going to be expensive? Are they so "special" that they will cost more than the usaul pc game?
