If there’s one organization known for its crusade against online piracy, it’s the RIAA. Nevertheless, even in the RIAA’s headquarters several people use BitTorrent to download pirated music, movies, TV-shows and software. And they are in good company. The Department of Homeland Security – known for seizing pirate domain names – also harbors hundreds of BitTorrent pirates.

More proof of corruption in our government and corporations!

It's only bad if WE download, they can do whatever they want.

THIS is one reason I leave my wireless connection unprotected!

Good seed, I was seeding it when it told that you already had it seeded. Voted UP!

I think there will be a few counter lawsuits against the RIAA by those who they conviced of doing what they have been doing.
