Use of Churches Generally

This is a late comment, but Ecclesiastical Law provides for the following...

Once consecrated by the bishop (usually by a special consecration service), a building may not be used in a manner that does not respect its sanctity. A statutory duty is placed on any person or body undertaking the care and conservation of a church building in that they must have ‘due regard to the role of the church as a local centre of worship and mission’ (although this duty does not apply to a chancellor of the diocese when adjudicating a faculty petition), and all liturgical matters should be classed as a material consideration.

I don't think a game such as this can be remotely classed as "respecting its sanctity".

Let's hope Sony and other game makers respect this from now on.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
