QUOTE
246 Wii and 168 Xbox 360 consoles


I dunno about you, but i dunno if i can imagine that many. Thats a fuck load of consoles.

Good work cops, you have done well. Take the real pirates down. Not the legit friendly people.

I think it's great how they busted this guy. I just wish the press didn't always say "HUGE BUST OF MODDED CONSOLES! TAKE THAT YOU FILTHY, FAT, ANIME-WATCHING, ZIT-FACED HACKERS!" and then have a little note at the end "also seized were 500,000 pirated game discs." mad.gif

This guy was asking to get caught openly selling pirated games at a market stall. I can see them making an example of him too, massive fine and probably a little jail time. Would be a waste of time and tax payers money putting him in jail though.

Although, I thought it was legal to own/use/install modchips here in the UK? (the article says "illegal chips"?).

A little off topic: Is dole the UKs version of Welfare and TANF?

Yeah dole = unemployment state benefit

Clearly not backups. This guy took the information and skills and took it to the dark side, making money from the works of others illegally.

fuck him.

Exactly! Well done UK Police and whoever else was involved in the raid. I hate these evil bastards with a passion, making money off other peoples work is disgusting. I am so glad that these pirate bastards are being dealt with. Its great to hear about them going after the actual villians in this story rather than the single guy at home.
