Not scheduled to be officially released until later this month, Final Fantasy XII has already made its debut on BitTorrent tracker sites
According to 1UP.com, an early, and apparently legit, copy of the widely popular RPG mades its way onto several popular BitTorrent tracker sites yesterday and Square Enix, publishers of the game, are none too thrilled.
Sqaure Enix has begun to try and assert “legal control” over its game and has been contacting BitTorrent tracker sites to get the trackers removed.
Considering that this could prove to be a huge blow to recouping all the development and production costs of the game, monitoring and then suing whomever downloads it may very well be a plan on their radar.

I've been interested in P2P since the early, high-flying days of Napster and KaZaA. I believe that analog copyright laws are ill-suited to the digital age, and that art and culture shouldn't be subject to the whims of international entertainment industry conglomerates. Twitter | Google Plus
