Okay, that's cool. I had read (through some random googled article) that the US itself made the arrests with the permission of NZ authorities, but there was no source for that statement so I may be wrong.
Also, Tuna, not sure what "moral highground" you're talking about. I never said I condoned the actions of the US government, I was simply pointing out that their actions were completely in line with established international copyright laws, and that they weren't going rogue and eating up the free world as we know it (as some responses in this thread seem to indicate).
