The pirates of the new age. No longer plundering the seas and robbing merchant ships, but plundering the internet and robbing copyright holders. I definitely have no problem with them. In fact, I partake in these activities. I take no part in such activities, however I enjoy following the news. That's why Torrent Freak is one of the feeds in my RSS reader. In an article that was published earlier today, they talk about how hundreds of computer systems in the South Austrailian police branch contained pirated movies. This should set a precedent for pirating being okay down under, right? I say this because of the quote, "police sources have told press that there will not be any investigation into this, citing the large numbers of police officers involved." The thought of a bunch of police being arrested reminded me of the ending of The Bank Job, with Jason Statham that is apparently based on a true story.
