Warner Brothers Hiring Undercover Anti-Pirates

Posted by samzenpus on from the WB-privateers dept.

An anonymous reader writes "TorrentFreak reports that Warner Brothers UK is hiring college students with an IT background to participate in an internship that will pit them against pirates on the Web in an effort to crack down on illegal digital distribution. The intern will literally be on the front-lines of the epic battle against pirated content, ensnaring users in incriminating transactions, issuing takedown requests, and causing general frustration amongst the file-sharing population on the Internet."

    What /b did with Boxxy was pure bullshit (she never did anything, it was the people posting her everywhere that annoyed them), but I'd be more than glad if /b did that with these guys. You totally deserve it if you want an internship as a Certified Asshole.
