Subject: controversial shadowcrew site hacked by secret service?

OT (slightly), but a statement in the News.com[1] story is incorrect.
It states that "In August, the U.S. Department of Justice made arrests
in five states on charges of criminal copyright infringement in an
action dubbed Operation Digital Gridlock..." (middle of 4th
paragraph).

No arrests were made in those 5 states. In fact, no charges had even
been filed yet. (The story linked[2] from the text "arrests in five
states" even states this fact.) The linked story is also full of
blatant lies and misconstrued "facts", not to mention incomplete. (A
brief comment I made isn't included, plus a multitude of other actual
facts. Search for other AP articles of the same story to see the
missing information.) But that's a whole different fight. As most
know, the media can't be trusted to get the story correct most of the
time.

Just a FYI or "for the record" for those who keep track. I'm writing
the author about this, hoping for a correction. No, I'm not holding my
breath.

Fight for your rights.
