Specificly speaking, it was a raid against mod chippers.
While I dont' like piracy in general, this may not have been the wisest of actions for the industry to take when facing an already heavy consumer backlash for faulty prodcuts and poor hardware designs.
Also, If in court these chippers sue back for privacy and civil rights violations, the industry could be in a world of trouble, as these devices do have a legitimate use, in that they were first developed to play imports.
Just my 2 cents.
