I want everyone here to read this conversation. Then read it again. Then, finally, read it once more and post your thoughts.

Thank you.

Confused, mainly. A little be aroused.

It's how I spend most of my life.

You're trying to create an aroused and confused hive mind, aren't you?

We will add your biological distinctiveness to our own.

I bet their share ratio is below even 0.1. What a bunch of wankers.

whats so wrong with pirating?
its copying its not stealing because the original is still in tact
its like if someone took your candy bar and the candy bar was still there for you to enjoy

Problem is, that candy dropped on the mud floor.

It's like you making paintings for $100 to order, and one person makes photocopies of them and distributes them for free, so nobody bothers to pay for them any more.

but bands dont make much off cds anyway its the record company who make the most
most bands make money off Concerts and other gigs

And now the lady who cleans the floor at the record company's office will lose her job because they can't afford to pay her.

yeah because the ceo svcks at paying bands correctly in the first place

Dude........ I can't even think of something witty to say....... are you real? There is no way someone can be this whacked.

Anyway, I think this is hilarious. Why would they need to download a rip? They seriously don't have the file sitting around somewhere?

First off how do we know this is UbiSoft?

Also if he downloaded it, that wold mean he was uploading it as well correct? So yeah I can see how this is funny, they want to crack down on it, but they upload torrents themselves. :facepalm: :rofl:

People are reporting finding the "pirated" mp3s in their legitimately purchased copies of AC:Brotherhood. Who else could have put those files there besides Ubisoft themselves?

My thoughts are, this person is dangerously close to admitting to illegal activity and should probably shut up.

I like the way they didn't give FLAC copies to their paying customers.....

Oh how typical.

No laws were broken, since it is their own copyright: they can do whatever the y want with it

As to why they would want to do it: By joining a torrent, they can log the IPs of peers, later administering a DMCA notice

As to why it got distributed: large companies have a habit of "losing" original materials

Stuff like this seems to happen all the time in the industry. We've seen NoCD cracked exes with signatures from pirate groups used in official releases from all kinds of publishers, not just Ubisoft. I also read about one time when Sega contracted another company to create one of those Genesis collections for them. They asked Sega for the source codes for the games, to which their reply was "Just download the ROMs, man".
