:D FIVE-COUNTRY SWEEP NABS HACKER PIRATE GANG
A hacker group that reportedly sold pirated copies of software, games,
movies, and music online was broken up by police forces from the United
Kingdom, United States, Australia, Poland, and Slovakia. More than 100
people were arrested. Five programmers in Poland, believed to be the
ringleaders, face up to eight years in prison if convicted. Police
claimed the hackers broke into university and college computer systems
around the world and used their electronic resources to store, serve,
and sell the pirated materials. ;)
