    After being surrounded with Kryptonite. ;)

    This from ElReg:

    Three men have pleaded guilty to copyright charges following the Justice Department's largest-ever investigation into computer piracy. Albert Bryndza, 32, from New York, Seth Kleinberg, 26, from Los Angeles, and Jeffrey Lermanm, 20, a student from Long Island all admitted distributing thousands of X-box and Playstation games.

    Each played a different role in the scheme. Kleinberg was responsible for cracking codes to allow the discs to be copied. Lerman edited the software so it could be squeezed onto one disc and Bryndza built servers which stored the titles ready for download.

    I think youd have to be missing some common sense to still be doing that kind of activity with the MIAA and RIAAs (and whoever else) 3 headed cerberos on the loose after file traders and pirates.
