However, at the same time the Vice President was launching the new anti-piracy strategy, software company Apptricity was involved in a multi-million dollar piracy dispute with the Government.[/QUOTE] i guess that guy who was in logistics was right when he said the army should just pirate the software to cut costs. yea, great idea paying attention to the boot.

What now, fuckers? Now you can't call us out when Mr. Average American Citizen pirates something.
So $50 million worth of something from a defense contractor? That's about a pen cap and two corroded pennies market value, right?

It's funny because $50 million is less than the RIAA has tried to charge people with for stealing music.

[QUOTE=Omali;43005155]It's funny because $50 million is less than the RIAA has tried to charge people with for stealing music.[/QUOTE] You know, it's funny how badly the RIAA fucked up on that. If they had gone with a more reasonable price (say $100), fines for pirating music could have become as commonplace as fines on parking violations. Oh well, sucks for them.

[QUOTE=GunFox;43005107]Can I buy my way out of other crimes?[/QUOTE] You can get away with it by hiring others to do it and using your wealth to manipulate the government.
[QUOTE=Omali;43005155]It's funny because $50 million is less than the RIAA has tried to charge people with for stealing music.[/QUOTE] isn't it still less penalty wise to steal a cd and rip the music to your hard drive than to pirate music from the internet
[QUOTE=Ninja Gnome;43005654]isn't it still less penalty wise to steal a cd and rip the music to your hard drive than to pirate music from the internet[/QUOTE] Downloading off the internet takes less effort than ripping songs off a CD, so they try to punish it more.
Pirating isn't stealing though.
