CD Projekt Versus File-Sharers?

[Dec 14, 2011, 11:17 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

TorrentFreak reports that lawyers for CD Projekt are contacting individual file-sharers in Germany offering to settle accusations of pirating The Witcher 2 for €911.80 ($1,183.06). For corroboration, they point to this German page which does mention the game and that figure. Thanks Lance via Techdirt, where they note the danger such a "shakedown" can target innocent parties.

Why would anyone be against this? Unlike other companies that go after pirates, CD Projekt isn't doing anything to legitimate customers. Literally the only people who have anything to worry about are people who aren't even customers.

So you've never had issues with RIAA or MPAA's tactics? I'm sure a lot more people would be against this if CD Projekt were replaced with RIAA or MPAA in this article.
The RIAA and MPAA are actively prosecuting countless people who in some cases have not pirated at all, and at the same time, they're restricting their media with DRM and other horribly-anti-consumer practices. CD Projekt could not be further from them.
