Default Re: Space Empires V Pirated!

actually, you target the original uploaders.

See, any copy of SEV that is copied from the CD, I believe, uses a key, correct? If so, that key can be traced to the original person who pirated it via strategy first's shipping logs. If it's sold online, we have a credit card and a shipping address. If its sold in a store, then we can trace the cd key to the batch shipment sent to a store, then check with that store's purchase logs to find out who bought it and even get a picture (and if we got time, maybe play a rousing game of one-sided chair beatings).

Once we find the SOB, we then look at his torrent uploading stats and the number of down loaders for that torrent and pull a page from the RIAA, We take that information and times the number of down loaders times the number of days available times the full retail price to determine how much he owes aaron.

And if he's outside the country or unwilling to pay, I'm sure more than one of us will be more than happy to play the aforementioned chair beating game with him.
