... the drastic Intellectual Property law about to be voted on by the European Parliament ... it apparently makes the DMCA look wimpy. Now is the time to act.

"Two specific provisions within the directive, titled Anton Pillar Orders and Mareva Injunctions call for recording industry executives to have the right to raid the homes of P2P file sharers."

This occured in the U.S. a few years ago by two major U.S. Corporations. They raided two homes where they had accused the parents teenagers of illegally copying software. They pretty much destroyed the homes using the justification that the software could be hidden on something as small as a 3-1/2" floppy. They obtained search warrants. I do not remember if peace officers were at the scene, but they did not need to be present for the corporations to enforce the search. I have not heard of any since that time, but that may only be that they haven't been reported.
