When you work for an ISP as a tech support agent for a large cable internet provider, and someone calls in for support and they know that the call is being recorded, and they're being a total prick, and you can hear the lord of the rings: return of the king movie in the background when it's not yet available (legally), and you have all of their personal information up infront of you...What's to stop you from ratting this person out to the FBI? LOL...Not that I've done it...yet...

Considering people around the world are ignoring much much worse, then I couldn't care less.

And don't forget to rat on your parents/kids/neighbours if they seem a little suspect. I know my dad *still* (years later!) has video footage from the TV, when we all know you are supposed to wipe it after a few days or so. Maybe a quick stint inside will sort out his morality, instead of moving abroad to enjoy his ill-gotten retirement...

Getting more like 1984 every day...

Cheers

Ps. There could be a legitimate reason, such as he works for the company who are producing the DVD etc. By all means get the FBI though, just to make sure.

I am 99% probably lying in bed right now... so don't blame me for crappy typing

I think these organizations would be more interested in finding the piracy warehouse than a house which has really nothing more to raid. I've seen some raided places on TV, these guys have like 10 or more Athlons rigged with 4 CDRW/DVDRW each.
