It's good to know the FBI is on the case of evil file shares wreaking havoc on public safety, instead of minor stuff like catching murderers and jailing corrupt bankers.

Hmm that's all non-HD content, so I should be safe if I pirate the hell out of HD content, right? :p

One thing about living in a third world shit hole is that I can pirate all I want. Our government still run P4's which is connect via ethernet and they think the Intranet is the internet

Does anyone really care about downloaded TV shows? I avoid movies for multiple reasons (want the best quality + don't want any stupid ISP letters) but I could care less about getting 'caught' with TV for similar reasons as music.

With music, I'm often downloading a CD I lost, or ripped and the files became corrupted. Or am just too lazy to rip. Or am filling out my collection with out of print albums. Ect.

With TV, I have a damn DVR and 99% of the shows could be DVR'd, I've usually just forgotten them, or a series record got messed up or something. As is the case with many people, I would think. Then there are your TV shows that are unavailable in a certain area (like Top Gear used to be, or like many US shows are in other bits of the world).

Has anyone ever actually tried to pursue someone for TV 'piracy?' In the age of DVR, it just seems like it'd be impossible to pick out who's actually 'stealing' and who's essentially just creating/replacing a 'back-up copy.'

Guys, read the article. The fbi was just downloading the files to "verify" they were illegal. After they snorted it all and concluded it was good, they deleted the files onto blurays.

Often, even in markets where a show did not air, there is a home video market. You are essentially stealing the valuable DVD/BD box set.

I can't believe that they posted the first 3 octets of the addresses.
