    Canadian tax collectors caught with pirated MP3 files

    The digital song files, which were only uncovered during routine maintenance of the Canada Revenue Agency's network, ate up more than five gigabytes of space on government computers.

     

    "The possession of MP3 files can potentially cause a storage burden on CRA's networks as well as the possibility of breaking copyright infringement laws," states the 2004 report, which was obtained by The Sun through the Access to Information Act.

     

    According to the report, a total of seven CRA employees in B.C. were found to have MP3 files on their computers. Five of those had only a handful of songs on the server, but one employee was storing 117 and another 733.

    now did they find a p2p prog on the pcs? or just the MP3s? if it just was MP3s, who to say it wasnt their cd's that they brought to work in a different format? they still should be fired to mis-using government resources, but i dont see what the big news is here
    Here's Britney Spears' private jet... The gulf stream 3 doesn't even have a remote control for its surround sound DVD system. Still think downloading music for free isn't a big deal?
