British bobby: (cop, to North Americans ; ) Step out of the car sir.

Suspected file sharer: Why, what did I do?

British bobby: You were seen on the internet and we have reason to believe you were (pause) file sharing.

Suspected file sharer: It wasn't me.

British bobby: Well, we'll determine that and if you are innocent you have nothing to worry about.

Suspected file sharer: Oh, OK.

British bobby: To begin, spell BitTorrent.

Suspected file sharer: B-I-T-T-O-R-R-E-N-T

British bobby: That's correct. Now spell Grokster.

Suspected file sharer: G-R-O-K-S-T-E-R

British bobby: That's correct. (casts eyes toward partner, almost imperceptable nod)

Suspected file sharer: One last thing.

Suspected file sharer: Uh ---- OK.

British bobby: Would you turn around and place your hands behind your back? (CLICK)

Suspected file sharer: HUH?

British bobby: You're under arrest for suspicion of file sharing. You can spell the names of two well-known file sharing applications, and we noticed you were listening to Eminem. According to the IFPI, three out of four copies of that music is illegal, so you must have been file sharing.

You have the right to remain silent. You have the right to an attorney, if you can't afford one TOUGH SHIT KID!
