I honestly dont see what the point is, though. The damage was done a long time ago. I would rather the FBI spend its time doing things that are more, umm... consequential.

The only plus I can take from this is that these guys won't do it to someone else, which is always a positive.

Half-Life 2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>> More important than fighting global terrorism.

SENTENCE HIM TO DEATH!!!

so they make arrests for this but not against the people who leaked longhorn or any of other hundreds of other pieces of software out there that shouldnt be. i think theyre just using this to add more wood to the drama fire.

i liked the "fbi's cyber crime task force" part......

In releated news, Valve annouces that due to the arrests, Half Life 2 will be delayed another 6 months.

Piracy hurts this industry. These arrests will (hopefully) give pause to other thieves.

Good news, but at this point who cares?

Aren't you the guy who used to have "WHOEVER FUCKED WITH VALVE AND HALF-LIFE 2 WILL PAY" in your sig? Well, there you go.

Still, in the grand scheme of things, it matters little this late in the game that the dreaded video game source code bandits were brought to justice.

Waitasec, is diffx banned again...?

Yes he is.

And Half Life 2 is the most important program your computer will ever run ever, the FBI HAD to give this their undivided attention.

Ever ever.
