Brick is just the wrong word for software.

What complete nonsense. The analogy is all wrong.

They "voided" or "invalidated" a licence and "disabled" software, remotely.

Nothing got bricked. Software is never bricked. Nothing is permanent in software, and furthermore software does not resemble a brick.

HRD is being a little self-important by proclaiming they have bricked anything. Clearly they believe they are much more powerful than they really are.

Stand this case next to Dylan Roof's death penalty trial. Ain't no comparison.

Quit gettin' mad at video games.

Slippery slopes all around.

Hopefully he won't die though, or be tortured with force feeding, because the shit his did is pretty tame, pretty boring, and pretty inconsequential.

It's, like, on the level of shop lifting bubble gum, regardless of whatever intellectual psychobabble anyone wants to heap on top of it.

I've probably endangered more lives with multiple counts of reckless driving, been arrested for it, AND released in under thirty hours with a ~$500 fine, kept my licence and no misdemeanors on my record.

Think about it.
