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.

What's more important:
Going after terrorists and others who want to hurt, maim, and kill people or going after a few students who share music and movies?

I'm don't support illegal copying and distribution of movies and music, but IMHO there are things that are a little more important than harrassing children who download MP3s.

So if I leave me door unlocked and someone comes and steals everything from my house, can I be charged with the theft? I mean it happend in my house. Even though someone else did it I left the door unlocked. It must be my fault.
