We're a bit disappointed by this week's ELSPA piracy raid. We went in expecting the pirate-chinning ELSPA Anti-Piracy Unit, wicked raid names like 'operation buzzard' and a dirty pirate who ends up getting 20 years in prison, and an appointment with a bag of pool balls for MESSING with the APU.

All we've got this week though is the West Yorkshire police, who's boasting about nicking two blokes selling copied games in the Richard Dunn Sports Centre in Bradford. Badass.

In a far less exciting bust than what we're used to, which we've nicknamed 'operation pork chop', the Midlands coppers busted the sports centre computer fair, seizing 12,000 illegally copied discs and over 150 devices used for chipping.

Later on they went on to discover a house in Leeds with a further 5,000 copied games with a combined value of £100,000.

That's it. No excessively harsh £190,000 confiscation orders, unnecessarily detailed descriptions of the exact number of consoles found, or houses "with no obvious entrance". Just two blokes, in the nick, and a Chief Officer saying he's well happy they've found lots of copied games.

In comparison, the EAPU put a man AND his daughter in prison, with 150 hours unpaid work, and the blokes shop was called 'The DVD Man'. Wicked.

Try harder next time PR people, it getting harder and harder to make these stories sound funny. Though we obviously support what you're doing.
