I am not getting the demo, it's 2GB in size - are you fucking kidding? I'll wait four days and get the full version(Which will be ~3,5 probably). Seriously, what's the point.
The reason for it being on Piratebay is that apparently, Irrational released it on Fileplanet today, but locked it somehow to prohibit people from
playing it today (wtf?).
The demo should have been unlocked tomorrow, but some clever pirate made a workaround for the "timelock" and Irrational told Fileplanet to pull it off their server before too many people got a hold of it and actually played(!!) it!
Many people got pissed because some of them actually payed some sort of subscription fee to be able to d/l it from FP, in the first place. Ridiculous.
Now, the people who d/led it in time before it was deleted are sharing it with the rest of us.
Anyway, Irrational/2k lost. Pirates win.
Also, with the release of the game on the horison, Ken Levine reached out to the communities and asked the people who play the game not to spoil it for the others in unmarked threads, etc... How Hary Potter of him:

Please don't ruin other people's experience by revealing secrets in unmarked threads, and if you want to enjoy the game to its fullest, stay away from any threads that might ruin the fun for you. With a game like BioShock, it will really make a difference.
Best,
