Modern Warfare 3 pirates may face banhammer and fine

As we wait for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 to arrive on November 8, pirates already--and unsurprisingly--have access to Activision's upcoming shooter.

An employee from a shipping warehouse in Fresno, California stole Disc Two of the PC version's two-disc set and uploaded its contents. 

Activision prepares countermeasures to confront pirates at their front door and ask them to terminate their stolen copy of Modern Warfare 3. People who don't heed to Activision's warm welcome risk a $5,000 fine and permanent ban on the game's online play.

Is it worth answering the early call of duty?
