Federal agents have raided over 30 businesses and homes in 16 states while looking for the equipment that lets videogame pirates do…well, piratey things.

From the article:

“The alleged sale and distribution of illegal modification chips and copyright circumvention devices for the popular consoles and others included 32 search warrants in 16 states, said the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

ICE declined to release the names of those targeted but said they are allegedly responsible for importing, installing, selling and distributing foreign-made devices smuggled into the U.S.”

I could make a Jack Sparrow joke, or perhaps even throw a ‘YARR’ in here somewhere, but that’s lame.
