Moore: Suing PC Pirates Not the Answer, Compares Games Industry to the Music Industry

Somewhat reflecting id Software’s statement, Peter Moore, former Microsoft VP and current EA Sports head, said that he expects anti-piracy measures to be ineffective towards preventing file sharing.

“It didn’t work for the music industry,” he said. “I’m not a huge fan of trying to punish your consumer.”

He acknowledges that good solutions to piracy are scarce, but said that he would rather the industry look somewhere other than the courts.

“Albeit these people have clearly stolen intellectual property,” he continued. “I think there are better ways of resolving this within our power as developers and publishers.”
