I saw this story and every concern I'd had about the misuse of government money evaporated, FINALLY the really crucial problems are being addressed.
I'm still a bit conflicted in these piracy issues but come on, $2000 in cash? The studios spend that on breath mints for christs sake.
I'm not advocating piracy but an "anti-piracy unit"? In L.A. there are apparently countless sleeper cells running amok, blue collar crime is basically ignored (billions of dollars), murder is a daily event, child porn is rampant and gangs are making the mafia look like a church organization. Any bets on wether the Boise Idaho P.D. has an anti-piracy unit? They might, I haven't looked into into it but I'll guess they don't.
Thank god the important stuff is finally being taken care of.
L.A., you can sleep safely at last.
