While this guy did a scummy thing and I'm all about handling the situation as quickly and professionally as possible it leaves a bad taste in my mouth his mother was contacted about all this. Seems like a line that is best uncrossed.

It was probably a bit of an overreaction to drag the guys' parents into it. I can understand being upset because this guy was selling your stuff, but I think he got the message before anyone tattled on him to his mother.

Regardless, nice work Larry and the OCRAPS.

I've had my parents contacted for much dumber reasons when I was in school.

Can't deny it is effective.

I disagree. If nobody tattled to his mommy, then he probably would've done the same thing again. Thieves online tend to do it again and again with little fear of reprocussions (see: DeviantArt or Newgrounds). Having his family find out probably scared him enough to make him swear off stealing music. Also if it turned out he was some kid or even somebody still living with his parents, they could've done something like removed his internet connection as punishment.

I'm not saying it wasn't a low blow, but it probably has taught him a lesson.

Just curious, why do you feel that way? I'm interested in this line of thought.

Stealing music from artists that put themselves out there for free is a low blow. I don't see unconventional, effective action against it as a dirty tactic at all.
