Holder Asks America to Remain ‘Vigilant,’ Report Intellectual-Property Crime

So now copyright infringement has become a national security issue? This is beyond ridiculous. The Department of Homeland Security was built to fight against terrorism, and these days they seem more preoccupied with fighting copyright infringement through the ICE division, and now the Department of Justice is embracing the same goal, too. Obviously the war on terror is over, because now copyright infringement seems to be their main concern.

And asking people to report their friends for downloading songs? This sounds a lot like communism in Europe used to be, getting each citizen to report on their friends and neighbors.

The problem is the copyrighted material, like songs. If the songs weren't there, then people wouldn't be able to use them illegally. You know, like the war on drugs.

We need a war on songs.

Maybe Justice will team with TSA to strip search our laptops for illegal files before boarding an airplane.
