From The Smoking Gun:
“. . . Secret Service agents last month raided the Los Angeles home of a
Fox Entertainment employee suspected of involvement in an online conspiracy . .
. According to the . . . Secret Service affidavit, more than a dozen illegally
duplicated movies were actually housed on a Fox computer server (along with
pirated computer software and games), where they were accessed by members of a
‘warez’ group . . . Lisa Yamamoto, the since-terminated Fox employee whose home
was raided, is allegedly a key member of that ‘warez’ group. Last November, in
the course of an investigation into an unrelated computer intrusion, Fox
gumshoes stumbled upon the cache of pirated films, and immediately called in the
feds. . . ” Page
