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."

...law enforcement from 10 countries and the United States...

Since when did the United States supercede mere "country" status? I guess, although, we may play occasionally with the other countries, we still don't want to be associated with them.

Interesting filing

I don't see how this fits into "Your Rights Online". I don't think it was ever expected that we had the right to be in a warez group....
