the fbi DOES take it serious when a big software corporation takes it serious, trust me, there have been
countless of busts by the fbi which could only have
happened IF the fedz took it serious, i don't say they
take it serious outside the corporate aspect, basicly
meaning that as long as a corporation doesn't indicate
that they're being ripped billions of dollars by some
kids, they're not going to look for them. but other than
that, they DO take it serious.

oh, a big difference wouldn't you say? software/music
piracy costs the industry billions of dollars a year,
a lot more than copying some book or putting some music
on a tape.

i wasn't talking of just copying this stuff, i'm talking
about the groups that crack the protection, and distribute
the software to the masses, those ARE being taken serious.
and i should know, i have friends in this scene.
