FBI Raids Arizona School District Over Copyright Infringement
markclong writes "Federal agents in Phoenix and elsewhere in the country raided schools and other targets in a national crackdown on pirated music CDs and movies. The schools lost Internet access including emails to and from elsewhere on the Internet." Despite the assertions in the article, Google doesn't currently pick up any indications of a national school sweep.
Come on now. These people are breaking the law in a country with a system for changing that law, not a Nazi regime. If you don't like the law, get away from your Xbox long enough to change it. You choose to break it...you have to accept the consequences. Not to mention the fact that file sharers make a conscious decision to break the law, whereas the Jews didn't really have a choice whether or not they were born Jewish. You really have a distorted view of the world don't you? Another "anyone that disagrees with me gets called a Nazi" guy, huh? And you probably voted for Howard Dean...
what inane technology director is allowing p2p applications to be put on school computers?? This is so friggan draconian that it's beyond ridiculous!! None of me students have perms to install software on any of my machines and I regularily grep up all .mp3,.avi,.mov and other media files.
Is anyone else concerned that the FBI (that is part of the US government, paid for by 'we, the people') is being used as a private police force by these big companies? I seem to remember hearing about FBI raids on companies that make those smart card writers and turning over their customer lists to DirecTV. Things that would be illegal or at the very least difficult and time consuming to these companies can be easily taken care of by the FBI without all the legal hassle. I find this trend not only disturbing but also infuriating.
This is too funny. FBI raids a school on the grounds that there are illegal music swappers. I would liked to have been there laughin my ass off as they go through lockers looking for evidence.
/one ticket, thats right... can you make it round trip I would like to come back to hell next year as well
Cop: Son going through your locker we found some questionable material.
Student: *GULP*
Cop: First off son be glad you live in america because without this gun registration located right next to your ak-47 and your 9mm you would be in some hot water.
Student: *WHEW* I thought you were going to try and take my rights away! You had me worried.
Cop: Oh we are son, we also found this copy of Britney Spear's latest album in your locker. Which we will be taking as 'Pirated' music. Your going away for a long time.
*CLICK* goes the hand cuffs
