Your a liar pug.
First of, software related crimes are a federal offence so you personally getting info about COMPUTER crimes from AOL, is bull! So unless your FBI, you can't obtain that kind of info.
Secondly, the FBI is not going to go after individual users. They go after the pirate groups.
Thirdly, EA can't do, and won't do s*** except take statistics.
-EA executive, "Hmmm....looks like we got another 15yr old play a pirated copy of MOHAA. Ok, let's get our corparate lawyer who costs us $200/hr and pay some court costs to fine this kid $1000. And after $10,000 in letigation fees, we'll bag'em!"
Don't think so!
Oh, and lastly. If your STORY is true, I'm writing the
GRC after I analyse my packet traffic and we'll see what Steve has to say about it. Remember the Real Networks case? Are you reading EA?
