You'd think that the CIA could actually afford to buy it's software rather than use a cracked torrent download. Well, not according to this court case.
Sorry for killing you with our 1337 warez cracking skillz.
"The CIA used illegally pirated software to direct Predator drone attacks, despite apparently knowing the software was inaccurate, according to documents in an intellectual property lawsuit.
The lawsuit, working its way through a Massachusetts court, alleges that the CIA purchased a pirated and inaccurate version of a location analysis program, which may have incorrectly located targets by as much as 42 feet.
The allegation raises fresh questions about the CIA's execution of drone attacks in Afghanistan and Pakistan, which are believed to have killed hundreds of civilians in the past four years.
And if the court decides to grant an injunction against users of the software, it could potentially halt the CIA's drone attacks, at least temporarily, as the agency works to find a replacement"

Well, that's great, you have to actually buy a copy of the software before you can carry on murdering people.
Let that be a lesson to you America.
