Tony started his life of piracy sometime in the 1990’s working markets, car-boot sales and pubs in the UK, selling counterfeit PC applications/games and console discs for a fraction of the retail price. “The profit was amazing back then” he recalls “We were getting £25 ($48) for a couple of PSX games and £15 ($29) for a single CDR with the latest utilities on. We couldn’t make them fast enough.” Things were looking good for his little enterprise and before long he was clearing up to £1000 ($1,942) profit each week.

I thought it was pretty interesting how a cd pirate was crying that illegal p2ping forced hime to close his illegal business/factory. He and his wife actually had to get a job. :rotflmao:

The link didn't work for me (I think the site is blocked by my filters, for a good reason), but it sounds quite funny and ironic. What goes around, comes around.
