This is pretty shitty, hope that the Dutch dont start doing the same thing!

£300 fine or go to court for downloading illegal games. Ouch.

Seems fair enough to me. Just because you can do it from the comfort of your own home doesn't make it any less serious than walking into HMV, grabbing a game off the shelf and running out of the shop with it. Just my opinion.

Actually, a better analogy would be walking into HMV, copying the disc at your expense, and walking out with the copy. Leaving the original completly sealed and untouched.

I think that would still be classed as theft
