This reads like an article you'd encounter on The Onion.

>“[T]here are no tools used to reveal any sensitive information of any customer who has legitimately purchased our products. We all realize that you put a lot of trust in our products and this would be contrary to what we believe.

Ok, so I guess there's no malware in the official downloads then.

>“Test.exe is part of the DRM and is only targeted against specific pirate copies of copyrighted software obtained illegally. That program is only extracted temporarily and is never under any circumstances used in legitimate copies of the product,”

Well, nevermind then.

>“This method has already successfully provided information that we’re going to use in our ongoing legal battles against such criminals,”

That's easily the stupidest thing I've read this week. Are they so oblivious to how legal systems work that it didn't even occur to them to consult a lawyer before attempting to distribute malware and steal people's information?
