U.S. Declares War on Intellectual Property Theft
bblazer writes "Reuters is running a story about a new US effort to stop intellectual property theft. From the article "The U.S. Justice Department on Tuesday outlined what it called its most sweeping crackdown on bootleg DVDs, fake designer goods, illegal music downloads and counterfeit drugs." It also goes on to say that media (movies and music) is highly affected, but so are products like batteries, baby food and Viagra."
Asskroft is setting himself up for a fat megabucks job once this Nazi regime gets kicked out of office by Kerry. And what precipitated this little MPAA/RIAA ass kissing episode of a news article? The massive butt whipping Kerry put on Bush laat night in the debate. As soon as that debate ended, Asskroft wrote up this little press release, humming to himself, no doubt, about the megamillions he would rake in while heading up the MPAA and the RIAA, etc.
People, when are we going to start treating our renegade employees like Asskroft as the criminals they are?

Even if you might agree with that, it's unmitigated flamebait and should be moderated down as such. But then again, this is Slashdot, where it's chic to rail against The Man(tm).
America is not Intellectual?
Who invented the Airplane, Car, first electric computer?
I think America is pretty damn intellectual and for that I'll stand up for my country.
Our governmental system isn't retarded. The people that are in office are. There's a difference. ;)
Oh, and the people that either:
- Voted them into office,
- or failed to vote.
When it comes to Americans complaining about our elected officials, if you were old enough to vote and didn't, shut the fuck up. You failed to do your duty as a citizen.I talk about stuff.
The fact that you got midded up as "5 insightful" reveals the intellectual dishonesty and self-congratulatory wanking that that permuates through slashdot.
Oh my god! He just identified the US Government as the world's leading terror organisation! WANK WANK WANK WANK WANK. What a fucking legend. He's sooooo insightful; if only more people displayed his level of intellectual and moral superiority. WANK WANK WANK WANK WANK. Wait a minute, if I agree with him, that must mean i'm intellectually and morally superior too! WANK WANK WANK WANK WANK.
