DVD piracy too rife among police to prosecute
Found on The Australian on Monday, 07 April 2008
Hundreds of police officers across South Australia caught using their work computers to illegally copy movie DVDs will escape prosecution.
The activity - strictly banned under federal copyright laws - was detected during an audit conducted by the information technology branch of SA Police.
Police sources have told The Advertiser an official investigation, which could lead to criminal charges, will not be conducted because of the large number of police officers involved in copying DVDs.
Being a police officer isn't that bad after all it seems. You get away with piracy just because all of your colleagues are doing it too. And this might just be the first step: if you can rally up enough of your pals, you can start a career in drug and human trafficking too. Oh, and terrorism of course, because we all know piracy supports terrorism. Well, dog don't eat dog.
