Aussie cops caught with pirated movies
A regular audit of computer systems belonging to the South Australian police force has revealed hundreds of movies which authorities believe could well be pirate copies downloaded from P2P networks.
According to The Australian newspaper the problem is so rife that senior police sources within the force said no official investigation would be taking place because of the large numbers of police involved.
An internal email sent to senior officers and police management warned that the audit had “identified a number of instances where commercial DVD movies have been copied to the hard-drives of police computers which potentially had been burnt to blank DVDs”.
“This practice is potentially a breach of copyright and misuse of SAPOL equipment,” it said.
