Second, do you just have a dartboard with a rant of that you are going to use?
I can understand that you have a limited amount of scripts that you can follow but you should at least try to pick one that has some bearing on the subject being discussed instead of just a random rant of the day.
The use of "theft" is the key. This is more of the entitlement syndrome running rampant.
Someone else may have possible gotten a benefit from something that is incorrectly believed to be property, therefore it is theft and a wrong must be avenged.
Any benefits are irrelevant in the face of the mindless blind rage of entitlement.
The "infringement" was someone else using the game without paying the "creators". Never mind that it was essentially free advertising for them. It is the entitlement mindset that copyright has created.
I think a strong case can be made that unlike you and most of the others that come to this site, very few people know the difference between the web and the internet.
It will probably only take a couple years until people can manipulate RFID chips with their cell phones and merchandise starts walking out of store unnoticed.
Sony still doesn't understand unintended consequences.
