Justice Dept. Raids Homes of File Swappers

Cryofan writes "Reuters is reporting that the Justice Dept. has raided the homes of 5 people in several states for trading music on p2p networks. The traders were, however, not arrested. 'P2P does not stand for 'permission to pilfer,' Ashcroft said. The Reuters story says that the 5 'were people operating hubs in a file-sharing network based on Direct Connect software,' and who had provided between 'one and 100 gigabytes of material to trade, or up to 250,000 songs.' 'They are clearly directing and operating an enterprise which countenances illegal activity and makes as a condition of membership the willingness to make available material to be stolen,' said Ashcroft."

Re:Who to vote for

>>...both administrations...

What??!

Remember in November:

A vote for Bush is a vote for Ashcroft, and a vote for a third party protest candidate, however conscientious, is a vote for Bush. While failing to prevent terrorism despite a gross erosion (i.e. Ashcroft wiping his ass with) the Constitution, now he seems to have the resources to bust teenage kids sharing music.
