Is Activision the new RIAA?

Sarcastic Gamer writes about the strong arm tactics being used to allegedly intimidate software pirates and prevent them from seeking proper legal counsel.

"The anonymous Captain Blue-Beard also went on to say that the $100,000 settlements Activision is reporting having won, are nothing even close to that. Apparently it's kinda like a public hanging, which is good if you think about it. They made an example of the guy but behind the scenes they just roughed him up a little.

However, the dude also said that he was told by Activision that if he retained an attorney to defend himself, Activision would really drop the hammer on him." (continued)
