  1. Grow up, this isn't THAT BIG by alexhmit01 · · Score: 1, Troll

    Look, the content industry is doing some disasterous things to copyright, granted, but it really isn't something that should be front and center right now.

    In case you forget, we're fighting a war in Afghanistan because we believe that the coordinators of some Kamikazi attacks on us happened there.

    The White House is terrified that Iraq is close to weapons of mass destruction, and the "enlightened" Europeans are throwing a tempertantrum that Israel is defending itself. Europe is joining the fray by attacking Jews in their own country.

    The Saudi regime is scared of an Islamist rebellion (which would cut off our oil access), and other problems that are forcing the Bush administration to back off Iraq, possible too long.

    And you want them to DROP coverage of THIS to discuss attempts to make duplication of digital audio/video harder?

    Ya know, I bet you lots of bullshit like this would have gone ignored during the last World War as well. Sometimes you need to get our of your Slashdot bubble.
