This is just the thin edge of the wedge. Big money talks.
I think we should all change our .bin extensions* in case it gives them an excuse to knock down our doors claiming it has Bin Laden connections.

The FBI had been posing for a considerable amount of time as server operators, inviting people to upload and download material. Once a solid relationship had been established between the FBI and top warez sites, the trap had been set. It was only a matter of time until the FBI had collected enough evidence to make an arrest. While the FBI has only announced the arrest of one individual, it is expected that more information will be released today implicating additional people.

According to Restless.ugtech.net, who broke this news event, the FBI ran a server name "Chud" and "Lad". They were administered by an undercover agent named "Griffen." The warrant, which was released yesterday, named "killaz, marvel/cartel, cin, sidar, dact, korax, bourbon, and burner." When more information is released today, more specific information on these individuals will be available.

Chirayu Patel, aka "Dact" was arrested 9 AM yesterday. During the arrest, police seized his computers and burned DVD/CD discs. More troubling, he was told the police were working with the FBI to "round up people that were on a FBI run site." The story concludes, "ITS TIME FOR EVERYONE BIG TO GO HIDE."

According to the Mercury News, two FBI servers and two warez server contained 27 terabytes of information. Such pirated material as the movies "Star Wars", "Batman Begins" existed, while software valued at almost $400,000 also was seized.

OH MY GOSH....

Thats bullshit. The only groups that were effected were BOOZERS & CENTROPY and niether were badly hit (ala Fairlight)

It was not even a major site and had been selling leech slots anyway for a long time so the people deserved it.

For every site that goes down another will grow, in the last 2 years only like 3 topsites have been raided and many more have been formed, you all still get your files so there by no way winning. Siteops just need to stop letting in n00bs and go back to the old days when only way you got on a site was by having respect.
