Coypright pirates hit hard

Dubbed "Operation Fastlink," the sweep consisted of 120 searches in 27 states and 10 countries. Officials seized 200 computers, 30 of which were alleged to have been used as storage and distribution servers, containing thousands of copyrighted works, including newly released movies and music.

The Justice Department estimated that the seized copyright material was worth $50 million.

"In the past 24 hours, working closely with our foreign law enforcement counterparts, we have moved aggressively to strike at the very core of the international online piracy world," U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft said in a statement.
