UPDATE:Music Industry Piracy Investigations this morning raided the offices of P2P companies Sharman Networks and Brilliant Digital Entertainment, along with the homes of key executives and several ISPs.

MIPI obtained an Anton Pilar order – which allows a copyright holder to enter a premises to search for and seize material that breaches copyright without alerting the target through court proceedings – yesterday from Justice Murray Wilcox, and began raiding premises in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria this morning searching for documents and electronic evidence to support its case against the peer-to-peer companies.

I think the most shocking thing here is there's a group out there with the name MIPI that expects to be taken seriously. I mean come on! There's not even an "x" in the name. The X'd makes it sound cool!

Maybe all us listeners should gather arms against these record companies.

This far, no further!
