Here is an interesting behind-the-scenes look at how music and movies get pirated.

http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/13.01/topsite.html

I loved this quote:
"Computer science is impossible," he says. "But I didn't really go to class, so part of it might be my fault, sort of."
Dedicated pirates don't go to class, I guess.

All this time I thought "topsites" were crappy attempts at trying to get you to view porn ads and download from poorly built websites.

I read this article a few days ago in the paper version of Wired (yes, paper does still exist). Very interesting, great read.
