Thanks all. Keep in mind though that this is no joke. If you decide to run a server and happen to lease building space with others that get involved in this, it could happen to you. The host I was on has no connection with the hosts that are under investigation, other than being in the same building.

Yeah this seems shitty... the govt's way of dealing with things is just take all the computers and then ask questions later ;) Then I think they pay an entire team of people to look through all the files... more wasted taxpayer money...
Too bad most of the "warez" people are probably still in middle school... I don't see how these warez guys made any profit either... that HTML page makes it sound like these warez people made billions of $$$ of piracy....?
I was really suprised to hear radio ads in LA about all the amazing penalties (how many years in jail?) for having unregistered software... There must be a lot of money backing up this government crackdown -- maybe it will stimulate the economy if the rest of the world is actually paying for our hard work instead of just mooching off of us. No offense to other countries (like Canada that produces all the cool 3D software) but most of the software in the world comes from the USA...
blah blah blah...
