hmm picking on movie release groups

Yep! But it's slowed down ALL releases. xrel for instance hasn't posted a single game release in almost 2 days. While they're usually a little slower than some that's quite unprecedented.

The most interesting thing in all this is how the FBI, supposedly a domestic bureau of the US for domestic issues only, is clearly seen yet again to be involved in International "corporate" affairs. They also sent a team to Lebanon recently to "investigate" the bombing there. No wonder then that many people consider them not much more than a "cleanup operation" that wipes clean tracks & connections to "important" people/clients while the CIA does all the hands-on "wet-work".
