In an amazing leap of brilliance, several congressmen have made the deduction that people who copy or trade movies, music, or games are somehow funding terrorism.

I guess the MPAA and RIAA didn't reach their goal of $800 billion last year. Since they only made $799.9 billion, it has to be the fault of the public. The terrorists at that.

Representative John Carter, (R-Texas), suggested that college students would stop downloading if some were prosecuted and received sentences of 33 months or longer... "I think it'd be a good idea to go out and actually bust a couple of these college kids," Carter said. "If you want to see college kids duck and run, you let them read the papers and somebody's got a 33-month sentence in the federal penitentiary for downloading copyrighted materials."

It truly is amazing isn't it?

Last fall, the FBI made a huge bust in Ohio. They uncovered a ring of people that were uncapping their cable modems and doubling their internet speed for free. Numerous arrests were made, and all PC's were confiscated.

I sleep much better at night knowing that terrorists will think twice about uncapping their cable modems.

It's also nice to know that the FBI is there to protect the interest of civil law.

Ok, this is downright silly. Yes people who copy stuff illegally are thieves and deserve to be prosecuted. But they aren't terrorists.
 
I would love to see the stats on how many homes in the USA have copied movies, music, or games in one form or another, and how many don't.

How many of us copied movies that we rented in the age of VHS?
