Microsoft spins off little RoboCops

Pirate Pay is a very Law Enforcement-ish operation title.

When I consider this program along with Operation b107 (MS's Rustock takedown) and their RICO seizure of a Zeus C&C server;
I wonder if Microsoft isn't aligning themselves to be the new ExtraNational Internet Police (CyberPol).

I have 2 thoughts on that.
• Unlike Congress, Microsoft isn't the worst possible choice to draft and implement CyberSecurity policy.
• Since Microsoft isn't accountable to any civilian body; their Law Enforcement arm will eventually become thoroughly corrupt.

Right, like government law enforcement agencies are all clean.

I never claimed they were.
The difference is that smaller/local LEAs are more likely to be disinfected.

The larger (and federal) ones are more insulated and are about as accountable as a private LEO firm.
