I am not going to comment on Piratebay, while it may be funny, it is
obviously not legal. But what I wanted to comment on was this recent
article from Wired.

Thanks to Take Two Interactive for leaving a sex game in the code of
GTA:SA it seems we here in America are going to see the "Janet Jackson"
effect applied to the modding of video games. Obviously this is not
something that will help the current NR2K3 modding situation ever see a
positive result.
So we are going to be stuck... so now it's time to do some math. Our
computers are big ticket items in most cases.... let's say our setups
are in the $1000-2000 range...(with all of our stuff, wheels, speakers,
software... chairs, chips, frosty cold ones, you know with stuff)... We
could be really racing for that money. Carts, enduro stockers, maybe
even a hobby stock... and we can mod that to our hearts content...

I was never one to say I am not going to buy something as an act of
civil disobedience, but I think I am going to start, since I think the
law is wrong, and the game companies are wrong as well.
