Warner Music exec Edgar Bronfman, Jr. says his kids have probably participated in illegal online filesharing. Techdirt administers the appropriate ridicule.

Perhaps Jeremy Lott can make clear for us whether this is the

Mr. Bronfman's children should have their allowance withheld for three weeks, and be prohibited from downloading the movie SWAT.
That is illegal activity, and his house should be raided. That is, if anybody's house should be raided, it should be his. The RIAA has an admission of guilt (which at least gives them reason to believe illegal files are located on the computer), they should go to the courts and get a warrant. The DMCA gives them this power. Swarm! Swarm!!
You mean to tell me that file sharing isn't responsible for Warner's loss of money? With all that GREAT music they're putting out? *barf*
