Actually, the federal police went through one of my school-mates house's and took all of his computer equipment because of piracy.
Hmmm... The police don't deal with piracy over here, it's the "Trading Standards". And it's often quite difficult to prosecute for piracy, as it can be difficult to prove.
As I understand it, if the police find anything copy-wise, they phone the "TS" boys and they sort it out. But they don't bother unless they can make a court thing out of it.
