Russian Software Developer Literally Takes Piracy to the Ring

The manager of Cognitive Technologies, which is a Russian software company, spotted his software for sale illegally at a market in Moscow, so he does what any software developer would do. He takes him to the ring and "hacks" into the pirates face with his boxing gloves. Needless to say the pirate must of had his firewall down that day because the dev won the match 24-16.

In Feb. the developer saw the pirate selling the software at a computer market without a license, which turned into an argument and then a fight. When a guard came to break it up the pirate wished to finish the fight in the street but the dev suggested to finish it legally in the ring.

This story sucks? This story rocks!

You fail English? Unpossible!

# noice — MDCosta911 2006-03-24 11:26

the pirater got pwnzed

# MPAA — Guest 2006-03-24 11:34

Its nice to see the issue of piracy resolved quickly and easilly, rather than having some MPAA or RIAA pussies sending cease and decist letters out.

# easy settlements — Guest 2006-03-24 11:50

lol this is the way it shud always be handled

# Guest 2006-03-24 12:01

In Soviet Russia, software pirates YOU!

# For Those Who Dont Understand — Guest 2006-03-24 12:04

It went like this:

Software Dev (SD) found Pirate (P) selling illeagal copies of his products.

SD argues with P until fight breaks out.

Guard breaks up fight, SD offers to have a boxing match.

SD kicks P's ass in the boxing ring.

News is posted.

I laugh my ass off.

# Bad Intentions — Guest 2006-03-24 12:05

I lol'd at that. Too funny.

# tamzarian — Guest 2006-03-24 12:15

haha, pwned

# ?? — Guest 2006-03-24 12:15

I thought this was PSP Updates, not "General Gaming Updates".....

# I disagree... — Guest 2006-03-24 12:23

If every decision was settled through violence then only the most violent will get their way.

Anyway, this was a funny article. I suppose this would be a fantasy for most game developers.

"I thought this was PSP Updates, not "General Gaming Updates"...."

I thought the majority of the readers were intelligent enough to see how this is relevant to the PSP in an Off-Topic way. Perhaps I was wrong.

(In other words: if you don't like it, don't read it)

# Im from Russia — liquidfire0012 2006-03-24 12:34

Yea they dont F#cuk around there. Youd be lucky to be alive because everything is dirty there and murder is very high. When i used to live in an apartment building, our neighbor had a kiosk he ran, but when the mob started to ask him for money he didnt have it, so they killed him. Life is horrible there, im glad i dont live in my country anymore otherwise i would grown up to be a con and killed people in my age right now.

# i wish — Guest 2006-03-24 12:52

pspupdates is goin down the pan with these pointless, needless news articles! recently they have posted a ps3 and xbox360 news here (one offs i hope) i suggest there be a 'general gaming' blog rather than people posting things bcoz they feel they have to post some news

# chill — wilmheath 2006-03-24 13:05

Just chill and enjoy the humor.

# milk from my nose funny — Guest 2006-03-24 13:13

In Soviet Russia, software pirates YOU!

by Anonymous Coward at Mar 24, 2006 at 04:01PM

funniest yakov smirnov impersonation to date, not only did i laugh my ass off at the article, but got a second one at that, bravo Anonymous Coward @ 04:01PM

# nice — Guest 2006-03-24 13:13

Cool and funny article.

And I enjoy reading related stuff every once in a while. I read so much about homebrew, reviews and whatnot, it's refreshing to see something else.

And it's also good to be informed of MAJOR breakthroughs on other consoles, too. There's more in gaming than just PSP.

# kind of ironic — Guest 2006-03-24 13:22

that's kind of ironic that it something like that happened in russia, as russia has one of the highet rates of piracy ever, since copyright laws often don't apply there. ou will often see movies for sale and even on television that have just hit theaters (or sometimes before o_O) in the US.

# Guest 2006-03-24 13:25

Yeah, pretty much all Russians are con artists or some other sort of illegal 'profession'. Sad, really.

# .. — Guest 2006-03-24 14:06

as opposed to the people selling XBox 360 BOXES on ebay here...

people that get ahold of others stupidity shod be wake up calls...

# so winning is everything? — CHUCKINGROCKSATSPACESHIPS 2006-03-24 14:49

So if the pirater would have won, would he still be allowed to sell the software?

Funny story

# Relax — Guest 2006-03-24 15:28

You people need to relax about all of the non-psp related news. Just cuz it's a PSP site doesn't mean they can't post interesting things that you might find interesting to read. Jeeze people. They're just posting it, nobody is forcing you to read it, so calm down. I, for one, like these little articles, so shut up your mouths. PSP isn't the only video game system out there in the world.

# notitle — ShadowEldritch 2006-03-24 15:42

PSP isn't the only video game system out there? Hm, so this is not PSPhacker? Judging from the title I can see one system.

# alright — BloodWolfpsp 2006-03-24 16:14

That is actually entertaining news. Oh the russians, inventers of russian roulette, some of the best games around. You got to love it

# AAAAAAAAAAA — Guest 2006-03-24 16:25

HHHHHHAAAHAHAHA HA!!!!

# betting man? — Guest 2006-03-24 17:13

i giving 3-1 odds on the time that ShadowEldritch's heart explodes like a over filled ballon from the the stress that non related psp news makes him feel. i say 3 more days. =)

# Hehehhe — RedDevil_NL 2006-03-24 23:29

Lol nice :)

# So what? — Guest 2006-03-25 05:51

This is the worst piece of news I have ever red on QJ. Either the poster is a six year old or is just an idiot.

# Actually... — wilmheath 2006-03-25 09:55

Actually i'm 25 and I enjoy random news like this as do most of the readers. If you don't like it that is fine, but we try to provide more than just the regular news.

# Um..? — Guest 2006-03-25 16:32

This is the dumbest thing I have ever read.. Literally.

# . — infmz 2006-03-26 05:40

HAHAHA! At least he bust him up 'legally'.

# Illeterate — Guest 2006-03-26 09:22

I can not believe how many illeterate people there are. If they would just read the posts above them, then they would know that noone cares if it is off topic.

I think this is the best news I have ever read! Ha Ha Ha. Anyone who thinks otherwise is stupidd!

# Ñîñèòå! — Guest 2006-04-01 04:39

Äà ñîñèòå âñå!
