NinerOnline.com - FBI questions UNCC student for file sharing: "The FBI was on UNC Charlotte's campus last week, and the agency wasn't giving presentations to criminal justice classes.
According to police records, UNCC police officers assisted the federal agency with the service of a search warrant last Monday for stealing intellectual property.
Major William Harper, interim director for University Police, could not comment on details regarding the incident, citing his agency was merely assisting the FBI in their investigation.
'They just recently put together a task force dealing with copyright infringment,' said Harper.
He did say the FBI confiscated the student's computer from one of the campus dorms. "
Ok, so the FBI is now enforcing Copyright? I always thought it was the purview of the owner of Copyright to enforce it... or is this special treatment for the RIAA and the small authors out there are left in the cold? Any insight?
