GTA: San Andreas Leaked

Anonymous Coward cuts-and-pastes: "Less than a week after a pirated version of Halo 2 began appearing on the Web, another of the year's most sought after games has been stolen. Ironically, it also happens to be a game titled after a larcenous act itself. That's right. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas has become the latest victim of piracy, with illegal copies of the game, its manual, and its cover appearing on various Web sites." Update: 10/21 13:54 GMT by Z : Rockstar adds some details to what we know about the crime in a press release covered by CVG.

Alright, alright, I'll listen to the poster and won't copy it. Due to the magnificent achievements in technology, I'll just run it through virtual drive. Man, I just saved two (3?) empty CDs.

i think it may not illegal but you should definitely look at is as wrong. you are knowingly obtaining a copy from a person who has no distribution rights. it's like buying a rolex for $20 on the street - you know it's stolen. (yeah, i understand the blah, blah about theft vs. copyright infingement. but you are helping someone else commit an illegal act, so hope you see my point.)

Are you implying that we should be paying for

SHOCK HORROR! SERVICES? instead of intellectual property. Wow, what a novel concept.
