Witcher 2 - κυνηγι torrent

[Wally]

Η CD Projekt κυνηγα νομικα τους τζαμπατζηδες

Although this initially sounded quite reasonable, away from the spotlight the company followed in the footsteps of so-called copyright trolls, by signing up for a so-called “pay-up-or-else” scheme. CD Projekt hired a law firm and torrent monitoring company to track those who illegally downloaded and shared the game, and has been sending them hefty cash settlement proposals.
The price CD Projekt is asking through their lawyers is slightly higher than what gamers have to pay in stores, to say the least. Over the past several months thousands of alleged BitTorrent users in Germany were asked to cough up 911,80 euros ($1230) to pay off their apparent debt to the company.

As is often the case, these mass settlement schemes do not exist without collateral damage. Aside from targeting many people who indeed downloaded and shared the game without paying, CD Projektʼs lawyers are also wrongfully accusing people who have never even heard of the game.

After all, an IP-address doesnʼt identify a person, and Wi-Fi piggybacking is not unusual. But CD Projekt, who donʼt want to bug legitimate consumers with DRM, apparently take this collateral damage for granted.

Τhe company, however, is no stranger to the business model which a US federal judge recently described as a shakedown. In 2008, large numbers of Internet users started receiving letters from notorious file-sharing lawyers Davenport Lyons in the UK demanding cash settlements. Among those letters were demands for payment on an Atari-published game with a familiar title – The Witcher.

At the time the actions were widely criticized in the UK by consumer rights groups and the media, mainly because of the many wrongful accusations. Despite this critique, CD Projekt continues to pursue BitTorrent users in Germany, probably because it earns them good money.

Κλαίνε και οι πειρατές.

Οι άνθρωποι είπαν ότι δεν γουστάρουν τα DRM και τα θεωρούν αναποτελεσματικά, όχι ότι χαρίζουν το παιχνίδι τους αμαχητί.

Καλά τους κάνουν.

Έτσι είναι. Λεφτά θέλουν να βγάλουν.

Τώρα όσοι το παρερμήνευσαν ότι επειδή δεν ενσωμάτωσαν DRM στον κώδικα, μπορούν και να το κατεβάσουν παράνομα και να παίξουν, ας πρόσεχαν!!

Είχα κάπου μια αμυδρή ανάμνηση για το γεγονός, οπότε δεν το ανάφερα πριν, αλλά τώρα κατάφερα και το βρήκα:

Η εταιρία είχε προειδοποιήσει από πέρσι ότι θα κυνηγήσει νομικά τους πειρατές του Witcher 2. Δηλαδή αρκετούς μήνες πριν την κυκλοφορία. Όποιος δεν το πήρε στα σοβαρά, καλά να πάθει εις διπλούν.

Gamers who download upcoming PC exclusive The Witcher 2 illegally could receive a letter demanding they pay a fine or face legal action.
If gamers refuse to pay the fine, which will be more than the cost of the game, they could end up in court, developer CD Projekt told Eurogamer.

"Of course we're not happy when people are pirating our games, so we are signing with legal firms and torrent sneaking companies," CD Projekt co-founder Marcin Iwiński said.

"In quite a few big countries, when people are downloading it illegally they can expect a letter from a legal firm saying, 'Hey, you downloaded it illegally and right now you have to pay a fine.'

"We are totally fair, but if you decide you will not buy it legally there is a chance you'll get a letter.

"We are talking about it right now."
