Man held in music piracy raid

Bloemfontein ? Free State police on Tuesday confiscated goods worth about R2m used in the illegal copying of music at a house in Kimberley.

Captain Cherelle Ehlers said police and members of the Record Industry of South Africa raided a house in Klisserville.

"They raided the premises just after lunch (Tuesday) after information was received."

Ehlers said CDs, computers, computer hard drives, jukeboxes, printers and CD shuttles were confiscated.

Police said the owner of the house would face criminal charges in terms of the Copyright Act.

Ehlers said the person, who was arrested and not identified, had been charged for similar offences in the past.

colin.megson says... Let coal decline - we all want it to. But for nuclear, the answer is so simple - generate our electricity and process heat using high temperature reactors which, if the 'waste' heat can't be put to a useful purpose, can be air cooled. However, high temperature 'waste' heat can be used to desalinate, to produce vast quantities of potable water from brackish groundwater and seawater. It can also be used to implement a hydrogen economy, whereby all liquid fuels can be made carbon neutral, by using atmospheric CO2 in their production. Likewise carbon-neutral ammonia can be made from atmospheric N2 and used as feed stock for fertilisers, to maintain agricultural production to feed 9 billion people. There is one outstanding reactor that can do all of this and also is inherently safe - it shuts down according to the laws of physics, even if all safety systems and all electrics are lost. The fuel in the reactor core starts life in the molten state, so no more TMI or Fukushima-Diiachi style meltdowns. It operates at atmospheric pressure, so there is no high powered 'driver' available to expel radiotoxic substances upwards and outwards into the environment. Also, its fuel is thorium - 3½ X more common than uranium and in sufficient abundance to be economically available until the end of time. This silver-bullet answer to the most significant problems facing humankind, is the Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactor (LFTR). Google: LFTRs to Power the Planet for all of the benefits.
