The Attorney General wants Americans to report Intellectual Property infringers

[thewayne]

Now it's the War on Downloads and any other type of IP infringing. I really like the last two paragraphs:

"While we applaud the idea of installing keyloggers on friends’ computers to see if they are undermining the country’s economic recovery, asking America to be on the lookout for terrorists and intellectual-property infringers at the same time could be confusing.

Say, for instance, you spot an unattended, and possibly counterfeit Gucci bag in an airport? Who do you call first: The Transportation Security Administration or the Justice Department?"

It really ticks me off that the ??AA have such a stranglehold on this administration, but Money Talks and it's getting heard loud and clear.

And I'll bet they're going to want people to go after their friends and family members who are using in ways that are protected by the First Amendment, if, say, there weren't billions of dollars thrown at the court until the result they want is done.
