    Between this and Nintendo basically enslaving that one guy by garnishing his wages for the rest of his life, game companies are getting way too comfortable using the law like a cudgel, just because they can. No fucking video game content being leaked justifies a game-shitter-outer to be able to do this. Guess I’ll be boycotting.

    As I’ve learned through life experience, there is no sin society will punish disproportionally harder than not conforming. Doesn’t matter how well I behave or how many rules I break, none of it ever matters. Everything’s always fine up until I make it clear other people can’t control me.

    The world is run by fascists who get off on having power over others, and punish severely those who resist that oppression.

    Maybe someone who understands better can explain, but isn’t “lifelong confinement” a bit harsh for what amounts to someone taking the loose change out of my sofa after entering without asking?

    I’m aware of their status, I just think we should be past Bedlam by now.

      It likely will not be life but it is an indefinite severance until doctors believe he no longer is in danger of reoffending. This is actually pretty common in many countries in cases that are deemed to be do to insanity. Sometimes when medicated they can be out in a few years. Other times they may in institutionalized for life. It is not about punishment but about trying to rehabilitate and focusing on the right treatment till they think he is safe to be back in society.

      Shit title for this article.
