Police Raid University, Dismantle P2P Network

News taken from here

I pray God it will never happen over here in my beloved campus. I quote from the site:

Items seized in the raid include one main PC running the DC++ hub server software, 10 laptops and 60 hard drives. A total of 35,000GB of movies, music and software was reportedly available to download from the network.

A fictional scenario (pray to God it won't happen ) somewhere in Teronto,Malaysia

Item seized in the raid include 4 main PC running the DC++ hub software. almost 1000 various of computer peripherals, more then 1000 hard drives. A net total of well around 20,000 GB of movies,music and software was reportedly available to download from the network.

Well however after a heat debate between the owner of each DC++ hub server with the police. They were drop of all charges as the files that is believed to be copyright infringement is not hosted on the server itself. Morever the server is running on a Linux Operating System which didn't violate any software patents or the GPL license itself.

The rector of the University **** , says this is an embarrassing moment for us as we found out only a few bunch of student (20-30 people) is following the law while others tarnished it.

The rector said " They will be expelled, i can assure u that. If these bunch of kids can choose to make good use of computer software wihthout involving in the piracy section, why can't the other kids folow them, perhaps it's time we teach our kids what law is all about".

Dipetik dari Bernama....
