Arrest in Caridi FBI Investigation

Posted by michael on Friday January 23, 2004 @04:24AM from the threat-to-national-security dept.

skillio writes "The FBI arrested one Russell Sprague in Illinois on Thursday in connection with the previously reported Carmine Caridi dvd screener leak investigation. Given the FBI's figure of up to 60 screeners a year provided by Caridi, and Sprague's clearly sophisticated setup, one can't help but wonder if this will prove to be the main, if not sole, source of these dvd screener leaks. Caridi has yet to be charged, but after he's admitted to supplying Sprague with screeners for the last 3-5 years, I highly doubt his innocence will remain unchallenged for very long."

Um, why was this marked a troll. The poster was correct in every way. Even if you find it incorrect or uninteresting, it is NOT a troll. Do you moderators feel that you should get a "get out of jail free" card once you reach a certain age?

First the RIAA sues a 13 year old girl, now the MPAA is going to throw a 70 year old in jail.

Maybe their next target could be a couple of nuns or some orphans. The tactics they're using in their anti-piracy campaign isn't exactly endearing them to the public.
