That's one of the reasons why it caved. If I recall correctly, he was selling his own software on that site and from TFA, one of the two biggest reasons why this was allowed was because the site owner was not profiting (the other being that there was no intention of misdirection).
Aparently one of their "Food Service" machines was cracked and used to distribute "games, files, and other media".
Is this where I can get the latest warez of BurgerTime?
Why is this worse than any other form of cheating?

I feel it necessary to ask this unpopular question. Cheating has been around not only in the Major Leagues, but every other professional sport. We've seen pitchers use nail files to alter the baseball's flight path, players used corked bats to (in theory anyay) allow for further ball travel upon contact, and hell it's even been documented that the people that ran the Metrodome would turn the air fans to blow out to the outfield when the Twins would bat and blow the opposite direction when the opposition would hit.
Is this just a bigger story because this is the first sign of people cheating by physically altering their bodies?

It should also be mentioned that George W. Bush was an owner of the Texas Rangers and managing general partner from April 1989 - December 1994, right in the time where steroids was getting rampant and every insider turned a blind eye.
What gets missed here is based on Canseco's book and the Congressional hearings is that scores (and possibly hundreds) of professional baseball players use steroids even to this very day.
The people on trial (publically, anyways) just happen to be the best at their sport. Folks who would be great even without the juice. What is left out is the number of average to below average players that use it simply because they wouldn't even be in the Major Leagues otherwise.
This is really nothing new to anybody who has been active in MMORPGs, and many of you are overcomplicating the situation with projections and "woulda coulda's".
Just like any service where you have a choice, your loudest vote is the one you make with your wallet.
For me, it was when I was at the mall with my girlfriend and we were passing under a 15 foot overpass and my initial thought was "I think I could rocket jump onto that". I knew then I needed serious counselling.

There are two classifications of people to whom you should be respectful: Those who handle your food and those who handle your money.
You will thank me later!
