Piracy and the reporting thereof
So Ive been thinking about busting this dude who distributes pirated games quite openly... I think I heard something about a reward for doing this (like a really big one R100 000 i think). I cant seem to find the organisation that was offering this.
Cos why would i bust him if i dont get a reward or something for doing it?
Anyway if anyone knows what organisation this is please tell me.
I think i read about it in Nov's PC format...
hmmmm , have you bought from him ?
Yes you will get a reward ,but its based on the size of the content recovered, the amount of distribution ,what licences are infringed
lets put it this way if a game or other media doesnt have a official distributor it isnt illegal to make copys that being said ,the other side comes in to play when do you get your money ,only when a law has been broken and thats civil ,not criminal law so it will only be once the case is tried and a conviction has been attained .
rest assured unless he is selling hundreds of thousands of copys your not going to get 100 000 more likely something proportional to the bust .
Im sure the add said up to 100 000 and then some fine print.

would you mean distributing as in selling?
I remember the days when I used to care about my signature.
Um, because selling pirated software is really scummy, and busting him is the right thing to do?Originally Posted by ReGret
Now look whos talking about "butterflies and unicorns"
The singularity is about to explode! Weapons are at maximum.
Not everyone is morally bankrupt, Raven Gold. I'd report a person like that without a second thought, and I don't give a toss about rewards.
lol - motivation. The Reward.
Looks like Azimuth beat me to it.
Doing the right thing is its own reward.
+1 to Azi's statement. If u want to report piracy do it coz its the right thing to do, not coz u see it as a quick way to make money.
