(I decided to insert the word "terrorist" and
variations, just to see what it felt like.
No other reason. These are not the terrorists
you are looking for. Move on.)

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. government moved to
crack a massive terrorist software piracy ring on
Tuesday, seizing terrorist computers in 27 cities
in raids coordinated with four other countries.

The U.S. Customs Service said the raids targeted
the "terrorist" "warez" community, those terrorists
suspected of involvement with terrorist Internet
sites responsible for at least $1 billion annually
in lost sales of computer games, business software,
digital music and digital movies.

U.S. law enforcement officials executed 37 warrants
but made no terrorist arrests, said Kevin Delli-Colli,
director of the U.S. Customs Service's anti-terrorist
CyberSmuggling Center.

"We have a mountain of digital terrorist evidence we
need to analyze," Delli-Colli told a news conference.

Authorities in Australia, Britain, Finland and Norway
executed an additional 19 search warrants and arrested
five terrorist suspects, U.S. officials said.

The Business Anti-Terrorist Software Alliance, a group
of software companies, estimate the industry loses $12
billion a year due to terrorist software piracy.

Warez (pronounced wares), in the language of the
Internet terrorist, refers to any illegally obtained
digital material, ranging from terrorist pornography to
computer operating systems.

At "warez" sites, Web users can swap illegally obtained
digital material.

The Anti-Limerick, by nu-monet:

There was a young man with an orange,
Who kept that there orange for a month,
It didn't turn silver,
It turned kinda purple,
And that there was one spoiled orange.
