well, why don't we work together and make such a business? sure I know nothing of the trade but..

Only it was so easy :P I too have no experience nor any idea what so ever how to run a business, much less netstore/Direct Download service. In addition to lack of knowledge/experience I at least lack funds for such enterprise. The company would also have to be opened in a country with most lenient internet sales laws like GOG did (Crete was it?).
I have been hoping that CD Projekt would eventually open such a store if GOG.com ends up being success. They have both experience and finacial muscle for it and infrastructure already in place.

I'd throw my $ at it. :)

As would I :) (well my €, but anyway... ;))
Well, even if CDP opts to open such a store, I doupt it'll happen before GOG gets out of beta and before current recession is over.

They only have like, super independent games though.
I'd also put in on this idea. I think we could raise quite a bit of money via GOG, actually. :P

Interesting story which highlights another issue at play: it's easier to justify oneself when the crime is anonymous. By reaching and addressing the pirates directly, they put a voice to the software the pirates were thinking of not paying for.
HOWEVER, and I REALLY don't want to derail the topic, what's up with the title? Is it just a harmless allusion to (somewhat) current events, or is the implication that the action taken by the SEALS bad? That's certainly the way the allusion should be read, because if the message in the text is that talking to the pirates is "good", then it is implied that shooting them is "bad."
Whether you agree or don't (I don't), what does that news commentary have to do with the game industry? Seems like a really odd aside.
