[kictanet] Copyright Infringement

[James Kagwe]

Skunkers,

A close friend of mine was slapped with the email below from CSI: NY. 
Guys watch out.. big brother is watching. My question is whether Kenyan 
copyright laws are being enforced and what is likely to happen in case 
the guy is taken to court.
