It is the first time an Australian minor got raided and prosecuted for linking to a site that may have offered illegal downloads.The Australian Federal Police raided the premises with 8 people for over 3 hours. The person allegedly linked to the MP3 WMA Land site. The minor, if found guilty may face penalites, imprisonment and/or a fine. As Alex Malik puts it: " Even if the website conducted illegal operations, should this minor be tried for aiding and abetting in these operations?" The full write-up is a must to read if you live in Australia or are concerned about liberties. The mainstream media does not seem to find it worthy of attention.
