FBI Prioritizes Copyright Over Missing Persons

Posted by CmdrTaco on 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."

    Without trade civilization is impossible. There is no distinction between protecting trade and protecting people.

    There is a free market of investigative agencies. You can look them up in yellow pages under private investigators.
