in canada, they could make millions suing the RIAA. sometimes, our crazy system is usefull.

'illegal search and seizure' is the term for what there doing, isn't it? gotta have a warrent. can do bad things in court to the people doing the search and seizure if they don't.

Only law inforcement agencies are legally allowed to do search and seizures... and even then they still need warrants.

To get said warrent all they need is probable cause. In most cases such a warrent is only issued when someone's palm is greesed or not. If control is the objective of this, then the RIAA is winning.

I wonder why one of the news magazine shows doesn't blow the cover off of this type of militarisitic jack booted thugism?

Because they are defending property (albeit 'intellectual' property) -- the center-piece of the capitalist religion. If these raids were about something else, like trying to catch people having un-approved sex, then it would be an outrage and a violation of civil rights. But property is the first of all 'rights' in this society and no one dares to question any measures directed towards protecting or even extending it to new areas.

You put it well, capitalist Religion. You couldn't be more right.

Each day more and more people join this religion. You see them everwhere now, they are the stuck up, self centered, egomanliamacs, who drive expensive SUV, and are always taking on their cell phones.
