Lets redefine the word "terrorist" by expanding it's meaning to, not just "One that engages in acts or an act of terrorism." but to include the ones that are inducing fear to get bigger salaries and shiny supercomputers. By promoting fear without a real threat, NSA and friends are contributing to global terror.
Copyright-able stuff always belongs to the public, business entities get a monopoly to copy and sell it for some time.
