There is a link on the Business Software Alliance's web page to report software piracy. Tunnel through the links on their page to view case histories of busts. Right now they go after big fishes, but the minnows are coming soon.
Any excuse to snoop on potential criminal activity leaves the door open to a carte blanch search of everything on your computer. If you follow the news on the seizure of Jason Chen's computers and servers, then you can be sure that the Feds have already taken a peak at all the files on his hard drives. Chen works for Gizmodo, and was part of the iPhone-gate caper. Why would the Feds be interested when only the local police department was involved? Call it professional courtesy.
