I was looking for reviews on the game "The Witcher 2", since I am kind of excited about it, and I found this article:
http://www.geek.com/articles/games/...gally-and-expect-a-fine-in-the-post-20101123/
It basically says that even though CD Projekt isn't using DRM, they have hired a few firms that speciallize in searching Torrents for pirated software and tracking down people who download them. They then send them a fine of the price of the game plus the firms fee, and if it isn't paid they take them to court.
I have to say that this is awesome!! This is the way I want to see software companies fighting piracy, since it doesn't effect the legitimate customer. If this catches on, I won't have to deal with the crap DRM I had with Dragon Age ever again. I am still bitter about the way that DRM worked (or didn't work in my case), since it took me a week of effort to even get that stupid game to work.
