Movie studios in Jakarta raid
p2pnet.net News:- Indonesian Pirate Movie Website Raided, Shut Down After Operator Hacks, Infects Police Computer
That’s an MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) shock-horror headline for the latest announcement in the movie studio cartel’s on-going war with counterfeiters.
And as usual, the pseudo-kop organization dragooned a local tax-payer funded police force as movie cartel enforcers.
Hartoyo Lupis, the subject of the MPA’s enquiriers, "hacked into a standalone police computer that was being used for the investigation and infected it with a virus".
He was apparently trying to identify an "investigator" attempting to make a buy from Lupis’ website
"On June 14, the Cyber Crimes division of POLDA (the Jakarta City Police), following a detailed investigation with support from the Motion Picture Association (MPA), raided and shut down the pirate website www.tokoDVD.com," says the MPA.
POLDA arrested the website’s owner/manager, Hartoyo Lupis, and, "seized a computer and more than 5,000 pirated DVDs, almost all of which infringed MPA member company titles".
The raid followed another on June 1 when www.DVDclubhouse.net, "a website that was selling and renting pirated movies" was shut down.
It was, "operated by a man from his workplace without his employer’s knowledge," says the MPA, adding that it was the first web site raid and closure in Indonesia.
The MPA and MPAA are one and the same.
