DOJ Ramping Up Crackdown On Copyright-Infringing Sites

An anonymous reader writes "The Obama administration is just getting started in its mission to shut down rogue websites that illegally share copyrighted content such as movies and music. The White House's intellectual property czar, Victoria Espinel, said Monday that the Internet community should 'expect more of that' pre-emptive action as the administration ramps up its efforts to combat online copyright infringement — especially the illegal copying and sale of pharmaceutical drugs."

    So, lemme get this straight. You're against copying music, because you create music. But you're for copying drugs, because you use drugs?

    Just think of it this way. If more people do drugs, then there would be more people creating music. More competition means fewer people buying your music. And that means you would have less money for lava lamps.

    So, as you can see, it's clearly in your interest to be against free drugs.
