Osama bin Laden recently visited Manhattan and stayed over the weekend. While he greatly strolling down the famous streets, shopping in the huge skyscrapers, and visiting the fabled Ground Zero (where he spent a great deal of time, for reasons known only to himself), he complained about the high level of security at US airports and stated that he, quote, felt he was being treated like a potential criminal, unquote

"Because I bought a can of soda the police are knocking on my door every 10 seconds and searching through my house to verify the can is legally obtained. Next time I'll just take the can without them knowing."

Anyway, while I do not condone piracy, I can see intrusive DRM pushing more people towards the shadier zones on gaming. It's a simple fact of life, push people hard enough, and they start pushing back.

Really. The gamers were just sitting there all meek and mild, not doing any piracy at all, and then all of a sudden, the greedy, evil Big Gaming started treating them like pirates as if games were downloaded illegaly at a rate of 9:10 or something. They deserve that pirates keep... eh, start stealing games when they treat pirates like the pirates they are... um, aren't!
