What really confuses/upsets me is the fact that people get so much more upset at the president for wiretapping people he thinks to be terrorists for the purpose of protecting our "safety" than they do for private companies (RIAA and Sony) combing through people's computers and personal information to see if we may have perhaps infringed on the rights of the oh-so-poor music and movie industry by downloading a couple files. Makes you think where people's priorities lie. Worrying about federal agents who listen to peoples small-talk on phones definately seems more pressing than worrying about the heroes of the music industry who find single mothers and prosecute them as a result of hours of looking through their own personal data.
