RIAA Sets Their Sights on Russia
Conor Turton writes to tell us that the RIAA has set their sights on Russia for their newest push into anti-piracy. A recent bill was sponsored in the Senate to deny Russia's entrance into the WTO (among other things) if they did not take major action against piracy. From the press release: "The effective protection of American intellectual property has been sorely lacking in Russia. This resolution is significant because it expresses the will of the U.S. Congress that Russia must take effective action against those who would steal America's knowledge-intensive intellectual property-based goods and services. We must not enter into political arrangements with countries ill-prepared to adequately protect our greatest economic assets."
ERussia sets its sights on the RIAA!
Purple, because ice cream has no bones.
That ephemeral, rather than concrete, goods are now being touted as Americas most valuable possessions is nothing short of depressing.
My vorpal sword +10 vs left-handed dragons is my most valuable possession!
If I have been able to see further than others, it is because I bought a pair of binoculars.
