They're getting the police to enforce a court order. If you are sued in civil court, then the court will take action to make sure you cooperate. Usually the police show up at your door when 1) you simply ignored all the legalese in the letter the BSA sent you and they got a court order to make you pay attention or 2) you actively defied the BSA by not cooperating in discovery, by not allowing an audit for example. It's essentially blackmail, but it's legal blackmail for the most part. -ajb -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
