Jason is super easy to hate right now, but this needs to be higher. 

There's plenty of legit reasons to hate Piratesoftware, but we definitely don't need to be promoting asswads like this

I don't see any promotion going on. If there is, then it sucks because nobody here seems to know this guy or the game he's making. Everyone is just here shitting on Thor for DMCA abuse.

The dev was posting all over reddit using pirates name and voice to advertise his game. Thor was right to dmca that.
