    I'm not sure I understand. You're saying that it slaves the downloader's computer to mine Litecoins? That's ridiculously easy to prevent. And how is this "getting what they deserve"?
    Human progress isn't measured by industry. It's measured by the value you place on a life.

    Just, be kind.

    Wouldn't it have been more fitting to mine dogecoins?

    I don't even understand how one can "mine" bit coins from a system, I never used bit coins and don't even know what they represent.

    Also the person who found this probably used a shitty torrent, I haven't pirated a game in 2 years (all hail steam) but I know that Skidrow is a solid release group who never released unsafe games before, they might release incomplete and bugged game versions but never unsafe.

    Bitcoins are a "secure" virtual currency where a lot of the wealthy world elite are attempting to shift their money to avoid taxation. You "mine" it by dedicating a certain amount of your system resources to their systems.

    Some quick reading to refresh my memory.
    Basically bitcoins are a virtual currency.
    Transactions are verified by a distributed effort amongst many devices.
    That work earns those doing it some of the currency.
    A device put to work doing that task is described as "mining" bitcoins.

    They're stealing a game, and getting CPU resources stolen from them in return.

    They are quite literally getting what they deserve.
    I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes
    Or should I?

    Would they have bought the game if they couldn't pirate it? If not, then what's the difference?

    Because rarity is the determining value in all items, and if something can be obtained for nothing, it's inherent value lessens.

    Video games, movies, music, and books are not something you deserve. They are items created by artists trying to make a living. Assuming you deserve them simply for drawing breath is pathetic.

    Assuming they're complete morons and don't just run a virus scan or block the process from accessing the internet.

    Most of them are sadly. Not many people are tech savy.
