Activision hires P.I. to bust Modern Warfare 2 thieves, would-be pirate
Activision will definitely not be kind to those people who attempt to pirate their goose that’s sure to lay golden eggs, Modern Warfare 2 (PC, PS3 and Xbox 360). Last Thursday, Activision apparently spotted a high-profile offer posted on Craigslist for the said game. Not about to shrug it off, the publisher actually hired a private investigative firm to catch the seller.
Activision will definitely not be kind to those people who attempt to pirate their goose that’s sure to lay golden eggs, Modern Warfare 2 (PC, PS3 and Xbox 360).
Last Thursday, Activision apparently spotted a high-profile offer posted on Craigslist for the said game. Not about to shrug it off, the publisher actually hired a private investigative firm to catch the seller.
The investigation firm, IPCybercrime.com, tracked the seller down and found that he was an employer at a retailer, who had stolen the game bundles, along with friends, specifically to sell on Craigslist. One of the people busted was Christian del Amo, who also turned out to be hatching a plan to copy the game and selling the pirated copies on hard drives. del Amo’s case was turned over to the Miami-Dade Police, who arrested him in turn.
Now his worries won’t be about how to sell his stolen goods fast, but how he can get his ass out of jail. With Activision complaining, and hard evidence backing up their case, I don’t think he’ll be able to get his hands on any videogame soon.
