It extends far beyond the consoles I'm afraid. Hence I no longer play any game online. If I wanted to hear a bunch of crying babies, I'd go to the maternity ward.

A junk mind at work.

While it can be argued, from a moral point of view, that if vitally needed drugs like AIDS drugs are too expensive for people in the third world, governments may have a moral right somewhat to disrespect existing legal contracts with producers and produce these drugs themselves in violation of patent laws, it always escaped me why somebody could claim the right to steal goods of luxury just because he says he cannot or does not want to pay for them.

And I do not understand why BBC is giving this sucker even a platform to voice is pathetic BS.

You don't pay for that game, then you don't play it. You steal it nevertheless, your box gets nuked. End of debate, period.

In Berlin they have a problem more serious with this. There, self-declared citizen patrols (Kiez-Polizei) belonging to the left and anarchistic part of the political spectrum claim the right to set cars ablaze and damage buildings and houses and throw in windows and smear paroles on walls because they want people and investorsm who have raised flats for the more wealthy peoplem, to leave. The police is helpless, but every night 1-4 cars goes up in flames - since months. Vandalism against newly build houses is growing. It is going like this since a long time, but just days ago the first two suspects ever had been sentenced. there are no others, and tonight one or more cars will burn again. And gione are the days when it were only Porsches and Mercedes set ablaze. Now middle class cars are burning too, assuming that their owners represent polticial opinbions different to that of this illegal self-declared Kiez-police. Spokesmen of this initiave are defending the deeds in front of cameras (defending crimes, that is), and can do so without getting arrested immediately. And parts of the politicians try to solve the problem by appeasing them and saying that one should consider the demands of these criminals as legal and part of the democratic opinion forming process.

Applaud the enobling and appeaseing of the new rag proletariat.

I call the events in Berlin not legal forms of opinion-voicing - I call it "severe coercion" and "severe damage to property".

And that xbox owner I call as what he is, too: a confessing thief who should be prosecuted and sentenced.

Same here... By no means do I think this guy is remotely intelligent, but after an empty patrol or several hours of mathematician-stuff I kind of like a good round of shoot'em up fun, personally.
