Dear SamNZ,
I have also joined in the efforts of fighting this crime. I have reported a site like you to the MS Piracy team. I neither got any reply, nor has there anything been done to the site.
You must understand, this is NOT just the matter of shutting these guys (multiple in fact) down. There are legal logistics and court orders to be filed, processed through courts, and then executed. If I may use the example of illegally downloading music: The IRA, once they have the illegal downloader's IP address through subpeona, must file a lawsuit against that IP address, registered anonymously. This may take months, if not a year for due process to occur. Since our country is so SUE HAPPY and the courts are clogged...due process (right to a speedy trial) has been detoured to a much longer route.
Please note that the IRA example may not be similar to the crime that our beloved Bungie masterpiece has been subjected to. Nethertheless, you must understand that this is a long and lengthy process, if we're going to legally punish these c0ckbites.
Or, we can just unleash the ninjas...
Reiginko, do you agree?
