Makeshift studio, piracy software found at Capitol
`State investigators have stumbled onto a basement office in the West Virginia Capitol outfitted with computers, video and audio gear, and software used to pirate movies and music recordings, according to a document obtained by The Associated Press.
�Specifically, one hard drive contained approximately 40 full-length motion videos,� state Chief Technology Officer Kyle Schafer said in the Jan. 5 memo to Administration Secretary Robert Ferguson. �Two other hard drives contained over 3,500 MP3 music files consuming more than 14 [gigabytes] of hard drive space.�
Hundreds of blank DVDs, CDs and jacket covers were also found, as was software �commonly used to crack header codes on copyrighted materials such as movies and music to allow duplication,� Schafer�s memo said.’
