FBI Prioritizes Copyright Issues
Found on Techdirt on Monday, 09 August 2010
While we've seen that copyright infringement -- which really should be a civil issue dealt with between private parties -- has suddenly become a major priority for the FBI, it appears that the FBI has stopped caring about things that seem a lot more important.
Now, a new report notes that another thing the FBI appears to not care much about are missing persons cases.
Copyright cases are really just business model issues, where the only "harm" is caused by copyright holders refusal to adapt to a changing market.
The priority is money. Thank lobbyists for constantly telling politicians that having the FBI to work for them benefits the whole nation.
