Did you say Dropbox?!
Dropbox is what RIT used for submitting homework and I still have some old college files on there. I'm not sure if other college institutions use dropbox as an official way to submit programming assignments and other material for grading but if colleges use that service, they might be a bit more hesitant.

Most of our clients use dropbox for actual business purposes. I use it for business and personal backups, and mabination has it's own account to sync backups to 3 physical locations + the dropbox account itself.

The worst part of this is that it's guilty until proven innocent. They arrest these guys, raid their homes, and steal all of their ****. Their cars, their property. And you know what? They aren't even proven guilty yet!
Imagine someone busting into your home and stealing everything you own because you're "accused" of doing something illegal. It's ridiculous.
They shouldn't be able to touch any of their stuff until they're convicted with a guilty verdict.
I don't see how they can sack someone's property of any valuables when they aren't even proven guilty. Even if they are innocent, they're still burdened with having to put everything back, deal with damages to their property, etc...

Isn't that always how the Law is these days, though? Or at-least in most experiences I've seen/had.

It is.
They **** up your stuff in search of evidence against you.
Always has been.
They should all be dragged out in front of their families and shot for it as far as I'm concerned.

It's called a search warrant. A court will issue one if there is a good enough suspicion. The purpose is to preserve all required evidence, like logs of all that pirated stuff you uploaded/downloaded, before MU could destroy them.
If the party turns out innocent, they can probably make a claim for damages, although I'm not a legal expert so I don't know much about that.
The only issue I see here is that MU and those sites should have been protected under the DMCA safe harbour laws. But on the other hand, MU might have violated other parts of the law in addition to that, which seems very likely given what's been published about it so far.

A warrant allows you to search and seize property for evidence.
It does not allow you to do whatever the **** you want to said property, especially if the property is in a location that doesn't belong to the accused.
When police have a warrant in their hands they make an extra effort to break doors, rip out cabinets, smash walls and destroy furniture and appliances.
It happened to us over here, we rent our upstairs to people, and about 8 or 9 years ago the police got a warrant to check out her place under suspicion that she stole some stuff. It started out OK, they came to see us with the warrant as the owners of the building and we used our spare key to open up her door for them. Once inside they broke everything, pulled out floor boards, made holes in the walls, smashed the bathroom sink, dismantled her washing machine and fridge (which belonged to us)... the total damage was at least 20,000$ and we were not entitled to one ****ing cent for damages. My parents are still paying off that 20,000.
So warrants can go **** themselves and I firmly stand by my statement that any police officers doing such a thing should be dragged out into the street and shot while their families have to watch.

Abuse of power at it's finest. I can't stand lawmen who go above and beyond their power to make our lives miserable. Those type of people shouldn't be police officers to begin with.
