Hey guys, I have a friend and for a while now he's been pirating XBOX / PS3 games. I want to stop him from doing this, but I have no idea how. I keep telling him that's it's bad, but he won't listen. So what can I do? Thanks. Gamerperson33

What should you expect to have happen after you narc on your friend to either of these websites?
Absolutely nothing.
While piracy is illegal, large companies do not go after individuals who are not distributing their copyrighted material because it's not even remotely cost effective to do so. These report forms are for reporting companies that are using 100 seats of Win 7 without paying for it. Don't expect Microsoft or Sony to dispatch a team of crack investigators and copyright enforcement specialists to "Billy's house down the street cuz I saw him with a pirate copy of Madden".
I do not in any way advocate piracy, but ultimately what someone else does is their decision. They may or may not suffer consequences as a result of their choices in life but it's not your job to police the actions of others. If you'd like it to be, then I suggest you apply for a job in law enforcement when you're old enough.
