Nice to see that my tax is being spent on high cost international investigations to protect the revenues of private multi-national companies though, eh? I feel much safer in my bed now, knowing that the Boys In Blue are spending so much time, energy and money tracking down music pirates instead of drug cartels, rapists, burglars and murderers. Today in court, the Crown Prosecutor was unable to serve a bundle of papers on the court or the Defence because their fax machine had run out of paper and no-one was willing to put their hand in their own pocket to go out and buy some. Glad they are getting their funding priorities right.

Re: R.I.P. Oink
I'm annoyed with the BBC for printing the BPI's quotes without paying any attention to balance or fact-checking. OiNK charged no fees, so it wasn't 'extremely lucrative'... I'm not even sure it ever had ad revenue (hooray for adblock :-) ).
As for the charges, "suspicion of conspiracy to defraud and infringement of copyright law.", I can't see how either of those will stand up in court. There was no fraud apart from the BPI fraudulently sticking their logo on the defendant's site, and no infringement of copyright law on the actual site (assuming the admin have been reasonably careful about not sharing stuff themselves)... maybe they meant 'conspiracy to infringe copyright law?'
