It's not clear to me we know enough about this to warrent going into
a panic.  I'd like to know a little backround.  If, for instance,
this public bulletin board was commonly used to the distribution of
pirated code, I'd say that the L.A.P.D. probably did the right
thing.  If the seizare was in response to just an isolated incident,
however, I'd be outraged!

Can anyone shed a little more light on this incident?
