Videogame Pirate Gets Long Jail Sentence

Thanks to the San Jose Business Journal for its article discussing the sentencing of a notable videogame pirate to 50 months in prison after being found guilty on charges of "copyright infringement and... mail fraud." According to the piece: "[Sean Michael] Breen... admitted that he was a leader in the Internet-based piracy group known as Razor1911. Since the early 1990s, Razor1911 had sought to achieve a reputation in the underground Internet piracy community... as the leading distributor of cracked computer and console game software." A report at GameSpot has further details, noting Razor1911 "...acquired advance copies of [videogame] titles by posing as reviewers for fictitious game magazines and having them shipped to a derelict storefront address in Oakland."

    "AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted"

    Word, but who the fuck has heard?
    It's time to take a trip to the suburbs
    Let em see a nigga invasion
    Point blank for the caucasian
    Cock the hammer then crack a little smile
    Take me to your house, pal
    Got to the house, my pockets got fat, see
    Crack the safe, got the money and the jewellry
    Three weeks later, I'm at the P-A-D
    Had a little fly ass bitch wit me
    Sittin in the den, yo it couldn't be
    (Whattup G?) Saw my face on TV
    Damn (oh shit!) I didn't know I lucked out
    Struck out, I gotta get the fuck out
    Pack my bags and tried to hit the door when
    the ol' bitch down the street must've turned me in
    Cos the feds was out there ten deep
    I got hassled and gaffled in the back seat
    I think back when I was robbin' my own kind
    The police didn't pay it no mind
    But when I start robbin the white folks
    Now I'm in the pen wit the soap-on-a-rope
    I said it before and I'll still call it
    Every motherfucker with a colour is most wanted
