Canadian cable companies have ratcheted up their war on piracy by launching a new legal battle. The effort has already seen Bell, Rogers and Quebecor's Videotron search a Montreal software developer's home and interrogate him for more than nine hours.
On June 9, the telecoms got an Anton Piller order, a civil search warrant that gives a plaintiff access to a defendant's home, without notice, to search for and seize relevant evidence before it can be destroyed.

Cool, so when do citizens get to take out warrants on these corporations to investigate the myriad crimes they have almost certainly committed?

I would just say I won't open the door without a public defender and a cop present, then microwave all drives.

They will just kick in the door. You have no right to refuse a court order. You can call your lawyer from the front lawn. The police are already there to enforce the court order (and stop you from denying entrance)

None of the news stations that Bell or Rogers own are even talking about this. What a surprise.

reminds me of some vids i saw of english police being called to someone's house because some sort of agent was trying to arrest the person for not paying his tv license. the person had some sort of warrant but wasn't a law enforcement official and couldn't actually arrest the person just order the cops to.
