FBI Seizes All Servers In Dallas Data Center

1sockchuck writes "FBI agents have raided a Dallas data center, seizing servers at a company called Core IP Networks. The company's CEO has posted a message saying the FBI confiscated all its customer servers, including gear belonging to companies that are almost certainly not under suspicion. The FBI isn't saying what it's after, but there are reports that it's related to video piracy, sparking unconfirmed speculation that the probe is tied to the leaking of Wolverine."

Unconfirmed speculation

[exley]

I realize that Slashdot has long since gone downhill, but can we at least wait until there's a real story before going front page? Jesus.

Privacy????

I normally don't care about privacy issues. The government can tap my phone if they feel like it, they can look into my purchasing records, they can stake out my house. They can look into my past work history. I really don't care.

But this is ridiculous. There were many levels of non-thinking going into this one. It's a move you might make if you were a dictator and wanted to remind people to stay in line. In fact, it is similar to things that happen in China. But.......this is the USA.

Not limited to the UK

Well done US, saving your draconian measures for political agendas. Your people deserve what they get.

Any objective observer would give Obama very high marks for his first 74 days (as of this writing).

You're kidding, right?

Besides the parade of disastrous appointments, he's continued and worsened Bush's incompetent handling of the financial crisis. The house is on fire, and more gasoline won't help.
