Australian Federal Court Grants Publisher of GTA V Game Right To Search Homes of Five People Accused of Making Cheat Software (bbc.com)

The publisher of video game Grand Theft Auto V has been granted the right to search the homes of five people accused of making cheat software. From a report: The court order allowed Rockstar Games and its parent company, Take-Two Interactive, to search two properties in Melbourne, Australia, for evidence related to a cheat known as Infamous. The Australian federal court has also frozen the assets of the five, who have not yet filed a defence. The cheat went offline six months ago. It allowed players who paid about $40 to manipulate the gaming environment, generate virtual currency and use a "god mode" feature that makes players invincible.

    The great shithole from down under. I visited there for 3 months, and despite them being one of our anglo saxon neighbors with a comparable culture they are not like the rest of us. They look it on the surface with business deals, corporations, attire, television etc. Under all that though you start to realize they are violent, unstable people with a serious severe and incurable racist streak in them.

    Seeing them violate laws rights and common sense is right in line with that I've seen from the in the past and will continue to see from them in the future. It comes as a shock to hear this because when we think of australia we think of steve irwin and kangaroos, but FUCK AUSTRALIA right up the bum with glass dust and razor wire. They are a horrible people.
