    Another MPA official, Chief Content Protection Officer Larissa Knapp, said the group anticipates “ongoing joint efforts with Vietnamese authorities, US Homeland Security Investigations, and the US Department of Justice International Computer Hacking and Intellectual Property (ICHIP) program to bring the criminal operators to justice.”

      Yup. They took StreamEast down a few days ago, but it’s already back up. Our tax dollars hard at work, protecting the profits of the wealthy. Back in the day the FBI would get involved too. They probably still do, but I can’t say for sure.
