How is this.............

This is a bit over the top isn't it?

It's not as if they could go and sell it somewhere else is it? So in effect, they haven't actually stolen anything, merely moved 'it', so why not just move it back and ban them from the IP? I bet the taxpayers are thrilled in that country that their legal system is wasting money on arrests and prosecutions for that, cos obviously it's right up there with the great train robbery and the brinks mat heist.

Mind you, any country where people are prepared to spend nearly three thousand quid on some poorly-drawn isometric bitmap images deserves everything it gets. Let's hope the 'criminals' make a virtual bitmapped break for it and there is a virtual shoot out with the thought police in the hotel lobby, it would probably be a lot more exciting than conversing about where you have put your virtual sofa.

I had a go of that years ago and never understood why people would spend money on it. It was fun to chat with one of my friends who also had a go but I think we only logged on about twice and moved on.

Yup, I had about the same experience with that Second Life malarkey, a US friend told me she quite enjoyed it, so I gave it a shot. Couldn't see the attraction at all, kind of like an MMORPG but without the fighting and really bad framne rates, a company I work for actually has an office in that thing bizarrely. But I suspect some of the players of Second Life ought to worry about getting a first life before they try for a second one:rotfl:
