This decision is a result of our strategy to protect the premium nature of our brand by preserving the appropriate pricing and packaging of our exclusive and highly valuable content.
I pay for Netflix. I'm going to keep paying for Netflix. I like pausing a movie on my TV and continuing to watch it on my phone whilst I drop a deuce.
Everything Netflix used to get from Starz that I wanted to watch or will want to watch will probably be obtained via torrents (I can do that on my phone, too), now. Going out of my way to exprerience their content isn't necessary. So...in an effort to preserve their brand and the value of some other shit, they essentially just lost my business. What?
Re: Re: "if your product can't outperform the pirated version"!
And on top of that, you're using up the bandwidth that you pay for to get that pirated version so you can use the product you paid for. Sue for that month's bill total :D
I'm a sys admin for a rather large company with thousands of employees and, more importantly, thousands of workstations. ALL of these workstations have 1TB HDDs in them and the most I've ever seen one filled was about 40 GB. Connection-wise, we've got the equivalent of several hundred T3 lines.
1. Install uTorrent on every single one.
2. Have each copy monitor a network drive location for torrents and set each installation to run during non-working hours.
3. Put a torrent for every Ubisoft game ever in the aforementioned directory and let 'em all download.
4. Remotely delete all of the downloaded data.
5. Repeat.

my guess is they weren't thinking. if the people were thinkers, they probably wouldn't be sorting mail. more americans doing more dumb shit. the world turns.
if you're dumb enough to have wi-fi without securing it, sure, something might happen. the same things can happen if you're on a wired network without a firewall. this whole "scare" is just one more instance of dumb people being catered to in our country. maybe if we stopped doing that, people would be encouraged to learn instead of simply being afraid of new things like a pack of gorillas who've just come upon a caveman sitting in front of a fire.
you can blame someone for creating publicity when they're wasting government time and money. the guy should be put in jail for being such a blatant ass, maybe it'd help calm down some of the copyright craze that's going on.

most of the time, i don't watch news on television, too many people who aren't concerned enough about getting the facts straight. sure, you were the first network to break the news, but you got 16 separate pieces of information totally backwards, gave incorrect names and times, all in ONE story...good for you. you keep that up.

Ubisoft can suck it
1. Install uTorrent on every single one.
2. Have each copy monitor a network drive location for torrents and set each installation to run during non-working hours.
3. Put a torrent for every Ubisoft game ever in the aforementioned directory and let 'em all download.
