GTA IV pirates recommend you 'go and buy this one' According to Joystiq, people who have pirated GTA IV (NTSC and PAL versions) are telling everyone to 'go and buy this one'. Bizarre!!! Gasp! Pirated Grand Theft Auto IV game data has begun popping up on BitTorrent sites today. One alleged rip (6.32 GB) was compiled by a group known as "iCON" and apparently stripped from a PAL-region, Xbox 360 disc. A description of the file warns that the data is not region free and teases, "sorry bushlovers!" (Hey, that's "Mr. President George Dubya Bush lovers" to you, ya stinkin' pi-rats!). An additional warning recommends would-be players stay off of Xbox Live lest "dirty little spies" catch them and ban their accounts. Ironically, at the end of the file description, the thievery and paranoia gives way to a glowing endorsement: "and guys, seriously, go and buy this one! R* deserves it..." How's that for a back-of-the-box quote! Posted at 12:26PM Apr 26, 2008 by Kevin P McAuliffe in Astound | Comments[1]

In fact, you'd be hard pressed to find a 'pirate' group which doesn't recommend buying whatever you're pirating. It's simple common sense; if everyone just pirates good games/movies, then studios can't afford to make the next, even better iteration.
