Gabe Newell @ Valve says:
My police friends are here to talk to you about why the source code is illegal
hyper says:
I don't have it tho!
hyper says:
I never did
Gabe Newell @ Valve says:
The code has a tracker on it
Gabe Newell @ Valve says:
And It is traced to your IP address
Detective Marco says:
Alright, elaborate.
hyper says:
wth no, i dont have it
Sargent Alan Shaffer says:
The source is illegal, and you can be jailed for just posessing it without having proper permission.
hyper says:
believe me
Sargent Alan Shaffer says:
Do you have any proof?
Detective Marco says:
How can we?
hyper says:
err
Gabe Newell @ Valve says:
We have our tracking code here
Detective Marco says:
Yeah thats what i though.
Detective Marco says:
thought, excuse me.
Gabe Newell @ Valve says:
And it has the ip address 220.245.178.140
Gabe Newell @ Valve says:
I believe thats yours
hyper says:
wth!!?
hyper says:
How did u get that
Sargent Alan Shaffer says:
From the tracking code.
Gabe Newell @ Valve says:
I just said. Tracking code
Detective Marco says:
I think its pretty obvious how we got that.
hyper says:
I dont have it, im telling you
Sargent Alan Shaffer says:
WE have logged every keystroke.
Gabe Newell @ Valve says:
Peer to peer networking.
hyper says:

Sargent Alan Shaffer says:
Every action on your computer.
Gabe Newell @ Valve says:
Yes we have
Gabe Newell @ Valve says:
your password for windows is killer7
hyper says:
HOLY crap! You ARE keylogging my pc
Sargent Alan Shaffer says:
Dating back to 2003, you downloaded the source code.
Gabe Newell @ Valve says:
Therefore, do not lie to us "Hyperpwner"
Gabe Newell @ Valve says:
What is your name?
hyper says:
Jack Schildt
Gabe Newell @ Valve says:
Are your parents home?
hyper says:
My mom is asleep
hyper says:
and dad is shopping
Gabe Newell @ Valve says:
Well, we are going to send around 2 policemen tomorrow. They are going to take you to the police station and tell you what could happen to you.
Gabe Newell @ Valve says:
You could earn up to ten years
Sargent Alan Shaffer says:
Or life.
Sargent Alan Shaffer says:
It's quite possible.
Gabe Newell @ Valve says:
If it was illegally aqquired through a peer to peer network
hyper says:
wait, i know someone who has it
hyper says:
too
Gabe Newell @ Valve says:
Who?
hyper says:
i dunno, on hl2world.com, i just joined
Detective Marco says:
Name, Age and Location.
hyper says:
and thers a mod
hyper says:
and theyr doin all that stuff that was leaked
Gabe Newell @ Valve says:
Yes
Gabe Newell @ Valve says:
But the sought our permission
Detective Marco says:
we are aware of that.
Gabe Newell @ Valve says:
to use the content
Sargent Alan Shaffer says:
Which mod.
Gabe Newell @ Valve says:
You however, illegally aqquried a copy
Detective Marco says:
they bought the rights to use that stuff.
Sargent Alan Shaffer says:
I'd like to know
hyper says:
I dont know, i saw pics of it.
hyper says:
a ship and stuff, i dont know, i dont have the leak
hyper says:
just the code
Sargent Alan Shaffer says:
It's called missing information.
Gabe Newell @ Valve says:
So you admit you have the code. Well, thats proof enough in writing. You are in very deep trouble
Sargent Alan Shaffer says:
And they didn't buy the permission to use this.
Detective Marco says:
according to Gabe they did buy the rights to use every single part of that.
Sargent Alan Shaffer says:
I think it was another Mod, that gabe is thinking about.
Gabe Newell @ Valve says:
Correct
Detective Marco says:
hmm, no matter, back on the subject.
hyper says:
oh cripes
Gabe Newell @ Valve says:
You see what you have done? We warned you
Gabe Newell @ Valve says:
Everyone knows, it is stolen content
Detective Marco says:
Look, you were well aware that the SOurce code is highly illegal, yet you downloaded.
Detective Marco says:
it.
hyper says:
i didnt know it was illegal
Sargent Alan Shaffer says:
You did very well know it was.
Detective Marco says:
Right, thats what they all say.
Gabe Newell @ Valve says:
Why would we contact the FBI over it if it wasnt illegal? Also
Gabe Newell @ Valve says:
It is only availabe via peer to peer networks 2 years prior to game release
hyper says:
uh
Gabe Newell @ Valve says:
It is most definitely illegal
Detective Marco says:
You do know that the person responsible for leaking the source code is now in jail, right?
Gabe Newell @ Valve says:
He is serving
Gabe Newell @ Valve says:
A life sentance
Gabe Newell @ Valve says:
He was found guilty
Gabe Newell @ Valve says:
for miscellaneous virus's and worms
Gabe Newell @ Valve says:
And he broke into our systems, which is very bad.
hyper says:
i didnt break into ur systems
hyper says:
why should i go to jail
hyper says:
i barely touched the code
Sargent Alan Shaffer says:
You downloaded the code.
hyper says:
it could come in handy for my mod
Sargent Alan Shaffer says:
Thats why.
hyper says:
cuz im doin a mod
hyper says:
based on the leak stuf
Detective Marco says:
Because you have something highly illegal.
Gabe Newell @ Valve says:
What is the name of this mod?
Sargent Alan Shaffer says:
And you need permission to use it.
hyper says:
Lost generation,
Gabe Newell @ Valve says:
Oh really? Well, it just happens so that my close friend James Tingle is in charge of that mod
Detective Marco says:
Gabe, you heard about that?
Detective Marco says:
Did he buy the rights?
Gabe Newell @ Valve says:
Yes, James emailed me
Gabe Newell @ Valve says:
Yes, we gave him legal rights to the appropriate material for his mod
Detective Marco says:
But Hyper here did aquire the code by himself, correct?
Gabe Newell @ Valve says:
See, the code is not illegal, it is only illegal if you stole or downloaded it illegally.
Sargent Alan Shaffer says:
Tsk Tsk
hyper says:
ummm
Gabe Newell @ Valve says:
I cant believe this
Sargent Alan Shaffer says:
