> I worked in the games industry for a short while (for an indie developer) and it is pretty disheartening to see your hard work handed out for free without your consent. It feels like someone is sticking their middle finger up at you. :)

I'm familiar with this feeling too (as is one other poster). It's not great.

I get the feeling that if someone posted 'someone ripped off my app!' on HN everyone would instantly upmod it. Post that somebody's doing something about TPB and suddenly piracy is assumed to only affect large, evil corporations.
