More than 2TB of software, movies and music have been found and secured. Now, while this is not a really impressive amount of 'illegal' data, the police now seeks a way to bring charges against... 1500 students who live on the very campus. This might be the biggest-ever one-time legal action against software piracy (?) in Central and Eastern Europe.

This is another big police action in Poland after last weeks' action of arresting a sysadmin and three voluntary subtitle translators of www.napisy.org due to alleged copyright infringement. (Link: http://www.idg.pl/news/110528.html)"
