FBI Anti-Piracy Seal

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the copying-the-floppy dept.

Supp0rtLinux writes "Looks like the FBI is giving a new anti-piracy seal for entertainment and software products. Looks like now the RIAA and MPAA pursuits will add a new federal level to future prosecutions." I'm pretty sure that our forms of media already contain warnings against unauthorized duplication, rebroadcasting, and public performance, but now it's in logo form!

    Wrong != illegal.
    Legal != correct.

    Smoking marijuana is illegal in some jurisduictions, but it is not wrong.
    Closed source software is not illegal in many jurisdictions, but it is wrong.

    Sex with a 15yr, 364day-old is illegal in some jurisdictions and will probably lead to you being branded a paedophile.
