Downloading The Witcher 2 Illegally? CD Projekt Will Track You Down And Fine You

So you’re downloading The Witcher 2 from a torrent site once it releases. No biggie right?

You’ll pay for that. CD Projekt, the developers behind The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, plans to track you down by your IP address and fine you.

“In quite a few big countries, when people are downloading it illegally they can expect a letter from a legal firm saying, ‘Hey, you downloaded it illegally and right now you have to pay a fine,’” CD Projekt told Eurogamer.

“We are totally fair, but if you decide you will not buy it legally there is a chance you’ll get a letter. We are talking about it right now.”

“I’m sure you’ve heard about stories in the US when recording companies were chasing people. We don’t want to be so harsh, but there is a chance that this might happen to some people if they download illegally. There will be an initiative.”

Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings is scheduled for a May 17 2011 release only on the PC.
