Centropy taunts FBI

After the FBI busterd a warez group earlier this week, Centropy -- one of the movie release groups I profile in Darknet -- released a copy of "Herbie: Fully Loaded" on Thursday, along with a note: "Hey you stupid bitches FBI you FORGOT ME!!! And don't think I'll make it easy on you to catch me!!!"

Reported the LA Times:

The MPAA has been trying for years to disrupt groups such as Centropy, with little success.

"These are the most tech-savvy, secretive, paranoid online pirates out there," said the MPAA's Malcolm. "They don't meet. They don't have annual conventions in New York City…. These are very, very difficult groups to crack, and these investigations take quite a lot of time."
