Operation Fastlink Cracks Down on Warez

An anonymous reader writes "Beginning yesterday morning, law enforcement from 10 countries and the United States conducted over 120 searches worldwide to dismantle some of the most well-known and prolific online piracy organizations. Among the groups targeted by Operation Fastlink are well-known organizations such as Fairlight, Kalisto, Echelon, Class and Project X, all of which specialized in pirating computer games, and music release groups such as APC. The enforcement action announced today is expected to dismantle many of these international warez syndicates and significantly impact the illicit operations of others."

Re:How is this YRO?

We don't have the right to distributed pirated works online. How does this story fit in this category?

Of course it's about "Your Rights Online". You claim that it's not a right. Discussion of rights we don't have, and about whether or not we should have them, belong in YRO.

FWIW Razor1911 was disbanded a few months ago. Their lead guys were basing their opperations in the United States and scamming Cisco out of routers and software companies for free software by claiming to be a review magazine or something along those lines. The FBI caught up to them and took em out.
