Justice
Department Announces International Internet Piracy Sweep (thanks Mike
Martinez) has word that there's a massive global pirate hunt currently underway: Attorney General John Ashcroft announced today the most
far-reaching and aggressive enforcement action ever undertaken against
organizations involved in illegal intellectual property piracy over the
Internet. Beginning yesterday morning, law enforcement from 10 countries and the
United States conducted over 120 searches worldwide to dismantle some of the
most well-known and prolific online piracy organizations.
“Intellectual property theft is a global problem that hurts economies around the
world. To be effective, we must respond globally,” Attorney General Ashcroft
said. “In the past 24 hours, working closely with our foreign law enforcement
counterparts, we have moved aggressively to strike at the very core of the
international online piracy world.”
Operation Fastlink is the culmination of four separate undercover investigations
simultaneously being conducted by the FBI, coordinated by the FBI Cyber
Division, and the U.S. Department of Justice, coordinated by the Computer Crimes
and Intellectual Property Section (CCIPS) of the Criminal Division. As a result
of Fastlink, over 120 total searches have been executed in the past 24 hours in
27 states and in 10 foreign countries. Foreign searches were conducted in
Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Israel, the Netherlands, Singapore,
Sweden as well as Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Operation Fastlink is the
largest multi-national law enforcement effort ever directed at online piracy.
Nearly 100 individuals worldwide have been identified by the investigation to
date, many of whom are the leaders or high-level members of various
international piracy organizations. As the investigations continue, additional
targets will be identified and pursued.

What the hell?!? Don't we have a few more important things we can be doing with those resources than this? I also read a while back that Ashcroft will be cracking down on porn soon. I am glad that our tax dollars are going to good use and not being wasted. <- sarcasm.
