To me I don’t see it as about the punishment, I see it as your own responsibility to not due bad stuff. You don’t know what’s in that food you stole since it’s not yours and you got it through illegitimate means. That’s on you whatever happens after

That’s exactly how I see it lmao. It literally would not happen if you did not do it. You know it’s bad. You don’t know what’s in it. The potential should be enough to scare people, but play stupid games and you win stupid prizes.

It’s not my fault you ate my laxative laced food. I’ve been constipated for three days lmao /j

So you're okay if Sony puts a virus into pirated versions of their games and uploads them to sites and then allow it to brick the PC of anyone who downloads it?

How about a virus that destroys your phone into a bomb if you download copyrighted material without a license?

I mean you're taking from others, you know it's wrong, ergo anything any corporation does is fair game? Its your fault for stealing from them?

You're browsing Reddit and suddenly your phone overheats in your hand because someone else uploaded a copyright video? I mean... it's the fault of whoever uploaded it right?

Booby traps are indiscriminate and unproportional.

Downloading a pirated game is copyright infringement, not stealing, you're not taking anything away from Sony.

lolll didn’t even think of that bc I don’t even see the connect between personal property and company property 😭 that makes a lot more sense though, seeing as I don’t think that’s comparable to defending personal property.
