basically it's like downloading music...no one really cares and it doesn't matter but yeah it's definitely illegal no matter how you look at it

i am definitely interested in the electronics aspect of this, and would love to find out more about it.

there was this big garden and tool kinda shop down the road from me and it closed down recently and my mate broke into it for a joke and found about 200 old computers just abandoned there. he was gonna take some bits out of some but he was a bit worried about it so he left and it turns out the police were called so he was lucky he got away. but access to that kinda thing would be amazing.

how or what tipped off the cops....did the shop have an alarm system?

i think so. it was either that or someone saw them i cant remember.

i'm pretty sure it was alarmed though.
