Now that is some garbage right there, and shows how low these groups will go.

It was indeed naive of him to allow strangers into your parents' home, but I suppose the gung-ho lawyer and his group were pretty intimidating. He was smart to get counsil while they were still there. It's important to understand your rights as a person, especially when there are people willing to take matters to an extreme.

Pirating en-masse?

Look on the bright side, their so-called "expert" didn't even know how to use a boot disk to reset a Windows password. It's hardly likely they could have found any evidence even if they'd had the chance. :-)

It sucks that he was naive enough to let them in, but since he had been served court orders earlier about the sites, and if someone showed up with a legal mess of paperwork saying they were from the courts, you can't really blame him too much for panicing and letting them have access though. Hopefully some legal action will happen to this group though.

Time for some reactionary en masse pirating.

*facepalm* I'm glad he called his lawyer, but do you think straight up calling the cops would have been useful here?

IMO Calling police would have been way useful, as they could have determined that the paperwork they presented to enter the house was invalid, and then charged the lot with breaking & entering. As usual w/ the Internet, I'm no lawyer though :p

If someone is trying to get inside your house by presenting a fake search warrant, Im pretty sure that would be considered breaking and entering, or at the very least forgery of official documents.
