Justice Department Raids Piracy Dens

July 1, 2005, 12:05 pm

Four people suspected of working in digital-piracy rings were arrested Wednesday in an ambitious sting operation that spanned 11 countries. The sting, dubbed "Operation Site Down" by the U.S. Department of Justice, included raids of 20 "warez" groups—underground communities that post pirated software and movies online.

Officials did not say whether any of the four people arrested were college students, but an earlier bust conducted by the Justice Department did lead to the arrest of a student at the University of Maryland at College Park. (Los Angeles Times)
