FBI Prioritizes Copyright Over Missing Persons

Posted by CmdrTaco on Tuesday August 10, 2010 @11:56AM from the well-that-makes...-something dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The FBI has limited resources, so it needs to prioritize what it works on. However, it's difficult to see why dealing with copyright infringement seems to get more attention than identity theft or missing persons. In the past year, the FBI has announced a special new task force to fight intellectual property infringement, but recent reports have shown that both identity theft and missing persons have been downgraded as priorities by the FBI, to the point that there are a backlog of such cases."

Let's not be hypocritical. I think most people here voted for Obama/Biden. If know what you were voting for with Joe Biden, you know he is an RIAA man. They can and have bought him, but it was you who elected him to power. And then the industry uses the power they bought into the government. So this is all very logical and the consequence of voting the RIAA into your government. There will be much more of this. All of this was brushed away because defeating McCain was all that mattered.
