H.R. 4279 Would Establish Federal IP Cops

MrSnivvel writes "H.R. 4279, Prioritizing Resources and Organization for Intellectual Property Act of 2008, is gaining momentum in Congress. It passed the House a few days back. It would allow the Feds to seize hardware that has even one file coming from 'dubious origins,' e.g. downloaded from P2P. If passed into law, the bill would establish an Intellectual Property Enforcement Division within the office of the Deputy Attorney General. Rep. John Conyers says the goal is to 'prioritize intellectual property protection to the highest level of our government.'"

Sorry to be a dick, but people who throw out idiotic thoughtless comments seriously piss me off. It's like someone getting pissed off at the high gas prices, and then ignoring all the complexities of how many factors can go into gas prices, and just saying, "It's all the gubmints fault!"
