"Get out of bed. Do not touch the keyboard"

Lucky for him the german police got to him before he flew to the us, he would have probably ended up in Guantanamo Bay

lol so funny when clever people do stupid things

Good read, I cant believe how he would have agreed to a telephone interview with valve and give them enough details for a team of police officers armed to the teeth to end up around his bed lol!

This is why piracy and hacking are bad for you
