Now copyright owners in the gaming industry may be resorting to similar thuggish tactics to fight growing software piracy. Gill and Ken Murdoch, senior citizens from Scotland, aged 54 and 66 respectively, received alarming legal threats warning them of an impending lawsuit if they did not £500 ($815 USD) compensation to Atari. They were accused of stealing the game Race07.

However, like the RIAA, its results seem to be lacking any kind of evidence or consistency. For example, the Murdochs hardly used a computer and never had gamed in their life. They describe, ”We do not have, and have never had, any computer game or sharing software. We did not even know what ‘peer to peer’ was until we received the letter.”
That figures. Here I was thinking that perhaps Atari would be different than EA, Ubisoft and others and show some sense. I guess not.
