FBI joins hunt for Half-Life code
The FBI has joined efforts to track down those who took part of the computer code of one of the year's most highly anticipated games, Half-Life 2.

Federal agents mounted a dawn raid on a San Franciscan computer programmer last week, seizing hardware and software.

The programmer, Chris Toshok, detailed the events on his web log, denying any illegal activity himself.

The FBI declined to confirm or deny the raid, but US law enforcement sources indicated the search did take place.

The FBI action is the first sign of a serious criminal investigation following the appearance of part of the Half-Life 2 source code on the internet last year.

I read about this a while ago...

The funniest part of this is that so many are condoning this raid, since the guy claims he innocent...

But doesn't everyone claim their innocent, even if they are in fact guilty?
(Note: I'm not saying he's guilty! That is up to the investigation to determine...)

But it's an interesting read, both bbc and the web log...
