To those who download... Crossposted

Okay, so at the local school(Milan High School), a teacher had to resign. Why? Because somehow a anti-piracy group got tipped off to the school. MHS is a very small school as is.... let alone needing someone to resign. Why Did a staff member have to resign? Because they had downloaded bearshare, and over the network, many other people have downloaded over 6000$ worth of software, namely microsoft programs, who might I add get their fair share of money. The FBI came to the school, and took the computers.

A shame what we might have to experience just because we want to listen to music, or word process things.
I came across a great program that helps stop anti piracy groups from scanning your computers, called Peer Gaurdian. if you download alot via p2p or torrent, I suggest you download it.

That is all, take care everyone.

wouldn't it just be funny if "Peer Gaurdian" was released by an anti-privacy group. just so everyone who's doing illegals can be easily monitered
"Yeah I have no idea how they knew, I had Peer Gaurdian and everything"

I haven't been able to find any background information about this, how did you find out about this? Do you know if the BSA was involved? What was the teacher's name and subject? When did all this happen? Was the teacher downloading the software, or was he or she sharing software to be downloaded by others?

I did a short writeup about this in my weblog, but would like to add more info. Also, this seems to be a double post...
