Congressional Offices Continue to Pirate Movies

It's no surprise that the employees of Congress are a bunch of pirating bastards. What is surprising is the awful stuff they are risking their jobs and jail time to download. The Smurfs? Individual episodes of the Ellen Degeneres Show? Over the last four months, employees of the House of Representatives have illegally downloaded dozens of films and TV shows, according to a report shared with Whispers by ScanEye, a website that tracks what IP addresses have downloaded on BitTorrent. BitTorrent is a protocol for sharing large files over the Internet. Unauthorized downloads of copyrighted material is illegal in the U.S.
