Workplace got raided by the FBI once. Came in, told everyone to back away from the computers and equipment, them proceeded to copy hard drives and confiscate some equipment (VCRs, DVDs, etc). Then they interviewed/interrogated everyone, and when they were done, they left.
Basically, DMCA type stuff. Even the feds admitted it was a little bogus and they were just doing their jobs. After some time, I think they dropped the case because they returned all the equipment with the caveat that we couldn't sell it, so we were told to just take them for ourselves.
