It appears that gaming piracy has been affecting id Software recently. In the past week, records show that 100,000+ illegal copies of Quake 4 have been downloaded on single sites! This is truly sad that people would not want to spend money on a great game like Quake 4. GameGirlz had an interview with Todd Hollenshead -- CEO of id Software, about the issue.
GameGirlz: What steps does id Software take to try and prevent piracy of its games?
Hollenshead: We vigorously enforce our copyright protections and will pursue anyone we find pirating our games. We work with the SPA and their international anti-piracy efforts. Other than that, we send the Cyber Demon out to destroy all of the warez sites :)
There obviously isn't a whole lot id Software can do right now, but hopefully they can find a way to put an end to it... for more information and discussion on this, check out this thread on our forums Thanks to Kissimurra for the sources and info.
