On December 11, the DCIS, the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Inspector General, and the FBI served 34 search warrants in the United States and Canada. The searches came at the culmination of a sting, known as "Operation Bandwidth," in which an FBI office operated a fake warez site. More than 144,000 programs were uploaded to and downloaded from the site, said Alan Peters, supervisory special agent for the FBI's Las Vegas office. The undercover operation didn't just target casual file traders, he said. "We aimed as high up the food chain as we could possibly get."
