Whoa!!!

I know what I'm about to post is a bit controversial (I think),

but recently I've saw the warez version of Freelancer being sold in computer shops around Jakarta (capitol city of Indonesia)...

I'm still waiting for my pre-order though.

Eh, that's commonplace. You can not only get pirated games there, but movies, etc.

Yeah that's ok they will be shut down too by DOJ which is good they will do sometime!

Funny you should mention this it turns out that the first warez copy of Freelancer that was publicly available for download was from ISONEWS.Seems that not only was the site closed down but it was also seized by the U.S government under some unamed act or law.Seems the government at least in the US are now taking it seriously warez seriously should be interesting what developments hold for the rest of they year concerning warez with the introduction of the new Longhorn OS which makes it impossible {so they say} to use warez of any sort.

Interestingly... nearly all computer softwares sold in Indonesia are warez.

The original products are quite hard to find, and is quite expensive.

I myself prefer to buy the originals from Singapore or ask a friend bring along some from the States.

ISONEWS didn't get in trouble for distributing pirated software. They got in trouble for selling MOD Chips for PS2 and Xbox game consoles.
