*Obviously there are politically dicey aspects
to intellectual property policing; but if you're
a pirate, lemme give you a hint. You should
rename your piracy outfit something like 'the Loyal
Consumers' or the 'Republican Campaign Contributors'
rather than Goodfellas, Hoodlum, Corrupt
and Hellhound.
'The release groups targeted by Site Down specialize in the distribution of all types of pirated works including utility and application software, movies, music, and games. Among the warez groups hit yesterday are: RiSCISO, Myth, TDA, LND, Goodfellaz, Hoodlum, Vengeance, Centropy, Wasted Time, Paranoid, Corrupt, Gamerz, AdmitONE, Hellbound, KGS, BBX, KHG, NOX, NFR, CDZ, TUN, and BHP. These groups alone are allegedly responsible for stealing, cracking and distributing hundreds of well-known titles, such as Autodesk’s Autocad 2006, Adobe’s Photoshop, and the movies “Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith” and “Mr. and Mrs. Smith.” Operation Site Down is expected to dismantle many of these international warez syndicates and significantly disrupt the illicit operations of others.'
*One would only wish these intrepid defenders
of Hollywood would hit spammers that hard.
