A good read no doubt, it really makes it clear why piracy is and was often a necessity, not only for those who can't afford to pay for something, but also those who live in an authoritarian regime. I wonder how Lin and Yu would have fared after the ban was lifted.
Calling it a necessity seems a bit much.
Nay, it was absolutely a necessity if you wanted to play console games outside of the iQue library.
