My point is that Congress is using the threat of terrorism to pass oppressive copyright enforcement laws. I mean, really, does anyone believe for a moment that P2P funds terrorism? I bet we can make a good guess as to who funds their campaigns, though!
And is 1984 not required reading for a high school curriculum? I wonder why... |
I agree that intelectual property rights have nothing to do with the war against terrorism, but on the otherhand our war is not invisible and on 9/11 it was not in a far off land. The war is very real to those who have lost loved ones to terrorism.
