New Jersey resident arrested for piracy |
Ó
There are things in life that will never go away and will hold true even after the day we die. You don't believe us? Pop tarts will always be sweet. Government officials will always take advantage of its people. Paris Hil Piracy. While the first few are sad, hard drawn facts, the last one on the other hand is full of gray areas.At any rate, it seems that government is hell bent to end this problem once and for all. Just like the other day, for instance, New Jersey authorities raided the home of Newark resident Derek Ramirez and the latter was arrested under New Jersey's Anti-Piracy act. Accordingly, Ramirez has been making copies of Xbox 360 games.
According to one representative for the Essex, New Jersey Prosecutor's Office, the Entertainment Software Association had been trying to track Ramirez for some time now. The official added that their operation started early last November, with them conducting undercover purchase of the said pirated software.
Furthermore, the officials had seized a couple of Ramirez's belongings including DVD burners, computer towers, modded Xbox 360 systems, and several hundred pirated games. Aside from selling and pirating games, the 24-year old Ramirez is also accused of placing online ads offering to modify Xbox 360 consoles to play pirated games.
If the allegations are proven to be correct, the suspect will face up to five years in prison and will need to pay "substantial fines." Currently, Ramirez's hard drive is being kept as an evidence. The official, lastly, wouldn't divulge any information regarding the estimated street value of the pirated goods.

One down 15 million to go.....
It always seems like they just care about going after the people who sell and mod consoles. If you just download/borrow games and burn them, it doesnt seem like they will care as much as if you are doing the former
The reason is that we have the right to download and copy games for non-commercial personal use. If the fuzz raids your home and finds all your copied games they cant do anything unless you were selling them or distributing them on the internet or otherwise..if you just download halo2 and play it on your xbox you have done nothing they can arrest you for. same goes for music,movies, and naked pictures of regis philbin.
Yeah, dog! Puttin Newark, NJ on the MAP! Jersey Runs *****! We are always on our pirating grind! That's just how we do here in Jersey. If we can get it for free...that's what we do...Everything is bootlegged soooooo much in Newark. You can even buy pornos and CD's from Crack heads!!! I do it all the time...2 bucks for an album and 3 for 10 on DVD's/Pornos...
Ramirez.... haha. There are probably at least 20 million more of them to go. Perhaps the US should declare War against Mexico.
this dude is xboxexpert - a moderator at www.xbox-scene.com what a *****tard!
By purchasing a product you agree to the terms that the company makes, the EULA. Microsoft puts on all their products that you agree not to make any illegal copies. Since they dont allow you to make copies at all, any copy is illegal no matter where you get it from. If you own Halo2 and download Halo2 to play on the Xbox Hard Drive, its illegal. Any game you "copy" or download from the internet is a breach in the license agreement and therefore you can get sued.
This guy is also trying to say the fall update messed up his XBOX 360 and is part of the class action lawsuit. He needs money for his defense.
I heard he was mexican.
Are not valid as proven in court. Reason? Once you open the software, even if you don't want to agree to the EULA, you can't return the software.
Mexicans cant mod boxes but they can sell cheap *****
