Excuse me assholes and retards, ill just post a link to the update on the issue done by Paper Rock Shotgun John Walker.
he got some replies from CDproject rep.
http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2011/12 ... al-threats
“We’re wondering why CDP have gone ahead with this action, when it’s well known that it’s extremely difficult to prove a crime via an IP address, and that so many false positives are inevitable. And whether they think such actions are merited when it is widely accepted that an unauthorised duplication does not equate to a lost sale? Are they concerned about how it makes their company appear, especially in light of the horror and condemnation with which Davenport Lyons’ actions were met with in 2008.“
One of the answers start with :
“As you know, we aren’t huge fans of any sort of DRM here at CD Projekt RED. DRM itself is a pain for legal gamers – the same group of honest people ..."
me) who gives a fuck about DRM, we didnt ask you about fucking DRM (my comment)
The reply is lengthy at this stage and goes on and on how they are great guys and how much they like their customers.
There is also a link to a site where you can see what your IP is and what have you downloaded, posted by John Walker, mostly for the lulz.
http://www.youhavedownloaded.com/
I opened it and the thing listed i never saw or even heard about and there was not a single file i actually downloaded.
Of course, in my case the Ip isnt mine at all but of some random internet connection im using or was using - fuck me if i know.
Anyway, lets continue with the replies from CDred
“For some reason the spotlight came down on CDP RED, however you should be aware this is something that about 95% of the games industry is actually doing. Pretty much all the major publishers and most of the independent developers.”
me) Needles to say nobody knows who these 95% of the games industry are and nobody heard anything about it.
Its probably VD planning to exterminate all pirates of AOD demo.
John Walker asks more questions on which he didnt get an answer the first time:
1- Could you explain what this 100% accurate technique is, and how it works, and which company it is? You mention trade secrets, but obviously there must be a general methodology without explaining how it precisely works. Identifying someone by their downloading something from bittorrent can only be done by IP, and IP obviously cannot identify an individual.
2- Do you accept that you’re sending people demands for significant amounts of money, with the threat that if they don’t pay up, they’ll have to go to court for a great deal more? When crimes are committed, the usual practice is to go to the police, and then the criminal is arrested and eventually goes to court. Circumventing the process of law, by threatening people to buy their way out of a court case, strikes me as something pretty awful to do. This is why we appealed for your company to stop this, and I guess I’m repeating that appeal here.
The answer is lengthy :
cd) - “When it comes to methodology, while I cannot share exact details, it does in its essence rely on IP identification, however, we do take into account individual cases. And once implication of innocence is reported and proven (ie. Someone actually bought a legal copy of the game but downloaded a torrent version for whatever reason), we may waive the claims.
cd) - About threats – let me put it like this – when you get a speeding ticket or a ticket for causing a car crash or for any other felony – do you consider that a threat? Because it works pretty much in the same way.
cd) - It beats me that, honestly speaking, we are being spoken badly about because we are trying to deter people from illegal access to our title.
This part really makes me spit acid mentally because they fucking cannot stop or reduce piracy in this way at all.
Its not like torrents are the only way to distribute pirated files any way. Its just one of the ways and they cannot even influence that one in this way.
Also regarding doing this in germany and issue of very possibly going against someone innocent in the first place:
cd)- Regarding Germany – it is about access to accurate data, which is allowed by the state. Regulations do not work in a similar way in all the EU countries. Germany does. The process would be possible in many other countries, but in some, the Davenport case would be likely to repeat itself. We cannot allow oursleves to target innocent people. This was never the intention and never will be. The moment we hear innocent people have been targeted, we will take immediate action.”
Which means they very well are aware of the Davenport case and have decided to drop any cases that might end up like that.
That is ofcourse because they love people so much and they are such a great guys - not because it would hurt them badly as a company - which they are, and ruin the whole deal.
The article, questions and received answers are much bigger so go to the link i posted and read it all.
If youre not a codex idiot, of course.
If you are do me a favor and go throw yourself under a car or out of the window if its high enough to facilitate certain death or at least long time in a hospital and away from a computer.
If not, well i guess you can just continue posting moronic shit that you think is funny or edgy or provides some simulate to your ego.
Its not, its just what your malfunctioning brain is imagining.
