    So what ever happened with this was the SFPD held responsible for this gross over step of power?

    Back when warehouse parties were common I know I heard of cords
    Getting cut. But never records getting confiscated.

    These guys werent looking for pirated music they just wanted to be cunts. Taking someone's laptop is fairly serious even if on noise violations and permit violations.

    I stated that in my first post BUT it's not a far cry for the police to confiscate gear and then hold it for longer than necessary claiming they're looking for pirated software/music.

    The raids eventually stopped when it was pointed out that there was one guy "leading the charge" of all the busts. He seemed to have some personal Vendetta on After Hours night life. I think the Consensus was he was trying to make a name for himself to possibly run for office or to be Captain of the Police force but the whole endeavor was shut down after lots of negative press and backlash from organized groups of SFLNC(San Francisco Late Night Coalition) Organized Ravers are a force to be reckoned with

    To do what with? Having pirated music is not a crime or anything police would be involved with that is a civil matter.

    Encrypt your hard drive if you're really concerned.

    You won't have to decrypt it for them and most encryption methods are still safe.

    Or alternatively everyone could easily purchase their tunes? Sorry for the profanity, I've had a beer.

    Fuck me, I've spent an absolute fortune on tunage since the early 90's which I'm not grumbling about, there was no alternative, but since switching to digital, it's soooo much cheaper. I used to easily clear £70 a week on a bag of 10 records, now I'm lucky if I spend that in a month even paying $2.99 per track for promos on Traxsource. Never has it been so good imho.

    joking aside and all, this is actually true... the data is quite easy to collect.

    Why do you think facebook rules the online world? because it logs all the internet activity of anyone with a facebook profile...
    spidering facebook is a very easy way of getting info on people.

    whoa god i hate the popo. nice links btw. I go through all of my songs that i have and make sure they're all working fine and no bad audio in them or anything, so i think that should do the trick.
