Feds Crack Down on Internet Pirates
FBI agents, working with investigators in ten other countries, shut down at least eight major pirate groups that were serving pirated works of movies, music, and games. Called Operation Site Down, the global effort recovered over $50 million of media.
FBI agents and investigators in the other nations conducted 90 searches, starting Wednesday, arresting four people, seizing hundreds of computers and shutting down at least eight major online distribution servers for pirated works.The four arrested were U.S. citizens and their efforts targeted release groups, trying to stop the piracy at its source. Those arrested could be sent to prison up to 10 years under a new law signed by President Bush last week. This isn't the first piracy raid and it won't be the last; guys, it just doesn't pay to warez.
