Another RIAA/NYPD ‘raid’
p2pnet.net News:- The entertainment cartels have introduced a new crime category, in New York at least, and are also helping New York governor George Pataki with his press statements.
RIAA pseudo-cops “assisted” Albany, Schenectady and Troy police in the execution of 16 search warrants at retail locations, boasts the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America).
Operation High Impact was against “quality of life crimes” and, “The message should be clear,” reads Pataki’s RIAA statement
“Piracy is no victimless crime and will be treated with zero tolerance.”
The RIAA and MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) now regularly and routinely use tax-payer funded police forces not only in the US, but around the word, as industry cops and have turned copying CDs into a major crime punishable by death.
And the two entertainment cartel units now work together.
Two New York Police Department cops said to have taken MPAA payoffs to arrest people who allegedly sold counterfeit DVDs were being investigated by NYPD Internal Affairs.
And in an entertainment cartel inspired “pirate CD” Staten Island Task Force raid in 2003, a man was shot and killed by New York city police.
“High Impact” took place oin May 31.
