FBI Arrests Eight On Copyright Charges

luigi6699 writes "The BBC reports that 'the US authorities have charged eight people in connection with the illegal trading of copyrighted films, music, games and software over the net.' According to Acting Assistant Attorney General John C Richter, 'cases like these are part of the Justice Department's coordinated strategy to protect copyright owners from the online thieves who steal and then sell the products they work so hard to produce.'"

Arresting teens for committing the hideous crime of downloading music and stopping monopolies right in their tracks.

Ok, maybe not the second part, but 1/2 isn't that bad.

Now if we could only get Bush to misrepresent the truth in only the way he can under grand jury proceedings about say weapons of mass destruction in Iraq... we could arrest him for LYING UNDER OATH by the Figure of Speech conversion.
