Call me cynical, perhaps even paranoid, but this smells like a scripted PR move to me.
It even made my government radio (ABC Local) here in Australia, with comment from a third party about how pirated movie buzz is key to blockbuster movie marketing.
Gene is just promoting himself. He's is the brand. He's outspoken in order to create headlines to push his latest ventures that's all. The man is a savvy marketer.
Actually, my custom built Pocket PC based remote (using netremote+girder, over wifi) controls every aspect of my HTPC (including Music, PVR, TV, DVD, Photos, Guide etc) with just one button: the touchscreen:)
I bet the sheer amount of music being downloaded illegally per person far exceeds the amount of music being download legally even if the number of people downloading legally is increasing.
If a RNG outputs either a 0 or a 1, then any combination (of any length) of these has the same probability.
i.e. the chance of any given run of length n is (0.5)^n regardless of how many 0's or 1's are in the run.
Of course this would be a matter for the proper authorities to deal with. My point being that if the stuff was left in place there was a better chance to catch the fraudsters. I don't know why you assumed otherwise.
Wouldn't have been better to leave the devices in place and stake out the fraudters. They either must be hanging around at times to receive the data remotely or else occasionally pop by to collect the memory stick? Or am I missing something?

Free BAND, Free ALBUM, Free SONG DOWNLOADS
Totally independent Australian rock band made up of 4 I.T. workers. a.k.a. as The "/." Band;)
'nuff said.
There's a heap of musical talent in our I.T. department which means friendships are easily formed on common ground other than shoptalk.
In fact, four of us in particular formed a rock band to record and perform original music, and we have our first CD coming out in a week or two.
Other than that, I guess reaching the age group of starting a family will probably mean an increase in our social get togethers with colleagues. Oh joy!
If you're interested, our band is called Camel Toe, and we formed earlier this year after an initial one off get together to play covers at a after work drinks occasion... Here's a link to all of our music for free camel_toe_aus

Gene and drugs? Oh boy, you have no idea.

Mr Pitt appears at least 3 times. Hmmm.

If you ask me this is just the first step towards some ARIA levy on the ISP's.

Wireless networking seems to be one thing that Knoppix don't handle :(
