whoa.
quick, grab all the torrents you can before it's too late.

just kidding, don't. that would be breaking the law.

haha, so I called Nick to ask. Gary told him the settlement went "well". It was the 2nd best deal. If 110mil is a good deal, then I hate to know what a bad deal was.

[nature boy]

maybe jailtime. maybe 200 million. maybe sharing a cell with bubba.

[Wetundies]

has anyone gone to jail for pirating software? Don't most of them just want to settle for a huge amount. Would you be willing to go to jail for 110 mil?

Leisure Suit Larry was the best.

I've meet Gary a couple times. Geeky dude. Would never imagine he had 110mil lying around.

[nature boy]

maybe he had to sell stuff to get it.
but from what you said he was roughly making, i don't think 110 mil would be a big deal.

[Wetundies]

if he was making a mil a month, that's still only 84 mil over the 7 years of this lawsuit. I know he's keeping his house, so not all is lost.

[nature boy]

if the candy crush guy makes almost a mil a day, i'd think the guy who ran the largest bit torrent hosting site would make at least that much.
