Piracy is fucking illegal that is like saying because I can take away this entire game that used up years of work and support to give it to others for free just doesn't make sense and isn't good for the economy, if you get caught in a state such as Texas the fine can be up to $250,000, and the offender can also be sent to prison for up to 5 years. A permanent felony is added to the offender's record too.
