Topic: Ubisoft soundtrack files sourced from pirates

Remember, piracy is wrong!

A Reddit user reported that the MP3 files included with a purchase of the Digital Deluxe Edition have the note “encoded by arsa13″.

This same credit apparently appears on illegal torrents of the Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood soundtrack released by pirates in FLAC form, ripped from the game’s own files.

To join the dots, this suggests that when it came time to bundle the soundtrack for inclusion in the PC edition, an Ubisoft staffer may have converted the pirated files rather than find an official source.

Haha.  The pirate did all the work so the Ubisoft dude didn't have to.

There's a certain amount of poetic justice here . . . or something.   

The pirates earned their keep without knowing, and Ubisoft has staff just as prone to click on easy links as the rest of us.  Oh yeah.

This isn't the first time we see something like this. Years back, Ubisoft released a NoCD cracked exe (by a group called RELOADED) as a fix for disc issues with Rainbow Six Vegas

Hilarious.
