I found a bit of interesting News at Gamespot.

Early today, reports came in from Germany revealing that police had raided the offices of Bavarian-based developer Crytek. Apparently, a former employee told police that the studio was using unlicensed software on their upcoming PC shooter Far Cry. Some of the wilder reports indicated that a special antipiracy squad searched Crytek offices and seized numerous pirated copies of Maya and 3D Studio Max before hauling away several employees.
