Modern Warfare 2 Pirate Arrested
Posted on Saturday, November 7 @ 04:14:00 Eastern
Modern Warfare 2 continues being in the pre-release spotlight. The latest
scoop related to Infinity Ward's shooter is that 18-old Christian Del Amo
had been arrested by Miami-Dade police yesterday after supposedly trying to
sell pirated copies of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Last month, Activision
Blizzard hired online investigation firm IPCybercrime to look into suspicious
posts on Craigslist advertising Modern Warfare 2 Xbox 360 bundles for sale.
There were posts spotted on the piracy forums on xbox360iso.com, indicating that
Del Amo got a copy of the game and then cracked the copy protection. Pirated
digital release copies of Modern Warfare 2 were on torrent sites the very next
day.
"We plug leaks every day," said Rob Holmes, owner of IPCybercrime, "but this
was one of the biggest ones of the year."
Hm, I plug leaks every day too.
