India's Cops Meet Technology
TopherTG writes "Do cops told to seize computers to return only with monitors, stapling pirated floppies together or arresting CEOs for their customer's crimes sound familiar? It would in India. Wired is running a rather humorous article on the minglings between cops and techies."
Except in the case in India, he was actively helping the police catch the criminal, and was trying to maintain his site as fully legal.
The same cannot be said of the bittorent website operators.
[assuming of course you deem what they do as illegal as well, which is another argument covered probably a dozen times already]
Nah, twas about an inch deep, in the middle of a side. One of those big copper industrial staples. I've a feeling the job "attach these floppies to this document" was passed on to a YTS kid(Youth Training Scheme (Young, Thick, Stupid)).
I speak for a lot of indians when i say i am absolutely astonished at the way the indian authorities handled this situation...i found it ridiculous
I think the guy with the article might need a bit of clueing too. To make the point that a part of India is very technically advanced, he calls it "the Taj Mahal of outsourcing."
The Taj Mahal is a TOMB!
The Taj Mahal draws in a ton of foreign tourists. In that respect, their IT industry plays a similar role but with foreign businesses.
