Im confused on this statement...

[flaky]

More videogame piracy news today courtesy of the U.S. Justice Department, which has seized an Internet website that sold mod chips for Microsoft Corp.’s Xbox.
The website in question (www.isonews), was operated by 22 year-old David Rocci, who agreed to the take over of his website as part of a guilty plea. For a two month period in 2002, Rocca sold 450 Enigmah Mod Chips in the U.S. through his website. The chips allowed Xbox owners to play illegally obtained game software on the system.
According to the U.S. government, IsoNews was also “providing information about copyright infringement and piracy, and included pages with news on the illegal warez scene, discussion forums on piracy, and up-to-date listings of all of the latest pirated products that were available.”


...im confused still...

buhh?

 

[flaky]

im now more confused...

 

[lynchet]

As I understand it mod chips are illegal in the US ---- as for the site isnt it the one someone posted a link to here a while back -- the govt took it over so anyone going there got a "piracy is bad mmkay" message.

 

[wolfeeh]

...

are you advocating piracy or something?

 

[lynchet]

Who me ?

How does my post advocate piracy ? As was pointed out in the earlier thread, whatever the rightness of the message the US Govt had not done a very professional job on the site.

 

[wolfeeh]

no you muppet

flaky, not you.

paranoia much

Well this got posted a while a go in the general forum although the actual domain has been given over, the site still lives here

 

[old.Kez]

I advocate piracy, because its free. Stick that in you pipe and smoke it.

(And what exactly is the point in flaky? Does he do something impressive when you wind him up?)

 

[Embattle]

If any one wants the address just PM me, it was on all the major news sites since the site itself isn't illegal nor does it carry any illegal content....alas MG is being a faggot.

If you can't read the announcements Embattle, that is your problem, so start there before you start calling people names.

More suited to your inabilities than mine:

There is to be NO trading of/linking to Roms/ISOs/etc or sites that carry such files on these forums.

There aren't any on that site Mystic Moron

Most probably another smart assed remark incoming.........

 

[Embattle]

BTW none of the main News sites would of linked to it if it was illegal, I can assure you they know more about the legal issues than u.

If you don't want it then fine, just don't use that top sticky as a reason....it isn't valid.

Be real, a scene site is still a scene site, you don't go there just to look at the pretty "legal" files. Besides which since that site still exists i'm sure anyone with half a brain can find it themselves. I'm closing this thread now before it deteriorates any futher.
