I've been noticing a lot of people posting about how the loyal Halo community will personally rise up and kick this pirates ass.

All Microsoft/Bungie need to do is, is when they find one of these bastards, they need to 'accidently' post the said persons details on these forums (Name, Address, Phone Number, etc.) and the loyal Halo 2 community would do the rest :)
First of all... You speak for yourself because I wouldn't leave my living room to kick his ass if the guy ended up living next door to me. Thats not my job, I don't get paid to do that, and it wont benefit me in any way shape or form from doing that...
Secondly, what's with people pledging an oath of loyalty to a corporation... Thats some scary -blam!- man especially if that corporation is Microsoft. I love Bungie and I love their games... I've played through every single one of them except for Minotaur. But I'm not going to swear my loyal to to them and declare, "Reporting for duty sir!" like a freakin' zealot...
Halo got posted to the internet (such is the video game business) If you look at the list of other torrents on the sites that have Halo 2 you can find about 70 other xBox games... Where is the outrage over those... Everyone swears up and down that they hate pirates but I'm sure every single one of you have downloaded some kind of intellectual property that you didn't own at one point in time (be it mp3s or movies or even just installing a copy of something a friend had on their computer) Does that justify this situation, of course not, but trust that Microsoft is on this like white on rice... for Christ's sake these are the same people who's counterfeit protection on their Windows Manuals is more elaborate than anything you would ever find on US currency...

P.S. Yes I know I just registered today but that doesn't mean my point is any less valid and that most of you are getting worked up about something (a.) you have no control over and (b.) something that doesn't concern you (I pre-ordered Halo 2 and none of this will affect me grabbing my copy on Nov 9th and playing it till my grades are driven way below sea level and my friends start talking about me in the past tense)
I'm with ya on this...
