Halo 2 Piracy
Last night a pirated copy of Halo 2 was released onto the internet. Needless to say we think this really sucks. Aside from years of hard work being stolen from us, we've gone to great lengths to ensure that the details of the Halo 2 campaign remain a mystery for players to experience for themselves on November 9th. Microsoft is currently engaged in a full scale investigation and to those foolish enough to partake in this piracy, you will soon witness the firepower of this fully operational battle station.
Members of the Bungie community - we need your help. The Underground Army is being called into action; this is not a drill. Anyone who has information regarding the leak of the game or individuals or websites promoting the download of these illegal files is asked to please contact us by sending email to [b]piracy@microsoft.com[/b] or calling 1-800-RULEGIT. We also ask that you help us minimize the spoilers for those opting to wait for the retail release by refraining from posting screens, talking about the story and deleting any such posts you encounter. Many of you have already been actively tracking down and forwarding links to us and we thank you for your help.

I know chaotic aptitude that you think it's okay to download that game before its out and then buy it when it comes out. But its not, Cause if you download that game that means your supporting people who pirate stuff. And for those who steal sattilite think it is cool cause you get tons of free channels its not. I Know these companies charge alot to see some movies, but when it boiles down to it, its still stealing. The prices would probably be lowered if everyone was paying for there satillite. Back home My friend had illeagle sattilite, and I had regular television, we all use to joke that I had 3 channels and thats it, If I wanted I could have had a illeagle sattillite but I find thats to easy. Life is like a game if you steal its like cheating, and who likes cheaters. You also must remember there are people unlike the avrage pirater who actually burn these games and sell em, turning aprofit for themeselves not bungie who spent years developing for the gamers. Not for gamers who pirate and make a price for themselves. All I got to say is I have a crap load of games, and everyone I take pride in cause I actually went out and bought them.
