I won't say the forum or poster, but this was on a computer forum

Guys, I haven't found a thread about this, but if there was one, I apologize.

What I am wondering, is how would you report known music/video/software piracy? At another forum that I frequent (football related), in thier Computer Section, they not only talk about how to get illegit stuff online, but are proud of the fact. I am really wanting to report them for it, but after 30 minutes of searching online, I haven't found anything/anyway to report them. Am I looking in the wrong areas online?

How/Where would you go about reporting someone for that? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Specifically, how to report to:

RIAA
MPAA
Specific Software Vendors (you name it, they pirate it).

I am hoping this may become a good thread for use when reporting illicit online activities to the proper authorities.

Cliffs: Guy wants to know where he can report people for downloading pirated material

Ok but why report individuals to begin with? I understand maybe reporting a business with hundreds of employees who has all their software pirated, but does the guy with 1 copy of photoshop he downloaded off the net to use 6 times a year really hurt anybody?
