130 Filesharer Homes Raided in Germany

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the paid-to-watch-an-ass dept.

Flo writes "Today, 130 homes have been raided in Germany under the allegation of filesharing. Law enforcement agencies had been monitoring an eDonkey-Server for two months. 3500 identified users are being investigated. Searches took place when users shared more than 500 files. Partners of the music industry helped identifying copyrighted material, but monitoring of the servers was solely done by law enforcement."

    Better luck next time. . .

    Don't be a smart arse. You're lucky you aren't living in Nazi Germany - you'd be sent straight to a concentration camp for crap like that.

    Major problem with your comment:
    You're saying something similar to saying "People are still being murdered, so we should ignore rape and theft until we've caught all the murderers."
