Published December 12, 2001

WASHINGTON, Dec 11: The US government moved to crack a massive software piracy ring on Tuesday, seizing computers in 27 cities in raids coordinated with four other countries.

The US Customs Service said the raids targeted the “warez” community, those suspected of involvement with Internet sites responsible for at least one billion dollars annually in lost sales of computer games, business software, etc. US law enforcement officials executed 37 warrants but made no arrests, said Kevin Delli-Colli, director of the US Customs Service’s CyberSmuggling Center.—Reuters
