PERTH, March 10 AAP - Anti-piracy investigators today raided the offices of a Perth-based internet company, in what is believed to be the first Australian crackdown on the popular BitTorrent computer file sharing program. A statement from the Music Industry Piracy Investigations (MIPI), part of the Australian Record Industry Association (ARIA), said Perth offices of internet service provider (ISP) Swiftel Communications were raided on suspicion they adopted the BitTorrent technology to help infringe copyright laws. Music industry investigators and lawyers executed "Anton Piller" orders - which provide the right to search a premises without prior warning in order to prevent the destruction of incriminating evidence - issued by the Federal Magistrates Court in Sydney. MIPI general manager Michael Speck said Swiftel was identified as allegedly allowing illegal access to music clips and sound recordings. "We believe hundreds of thousands of downloads have been conducted during the last year in breach of copyright laws," he said. "These raids are a new and important development in our fight against internet music piracy. "The misuse of BitTorrent technology allows the high-speed download of large files from a wide number of sources." "MIPI has identified this Australian ISP as using the technology to conduct high volume, sophisticated linking to illegal sound recordings and music video clips for its customer base. "Songs, video clips, television shows and movies are being distributed." Mr Speck said material from artists such as Guns `n' Roses, Robbie Williams, Kylie Minogue, Britney Spears, Pearl Jam and Linkin Pink had been involved.

Meh.

File sharing is impossible to stop.

The only thing I hate as much as the RIAA is the ARIA! Grrrrrrrr

The only thing I hate more than those two agencies is the fucking FCC...but that's way off topic.
