Oh, and we should probably allow wiretapping without a warrant

United States Attorney General Michael Mukasey gave a short speech this week in Silicon Valley in which he equated piracy with terrorism. He spoke about the rise of IP crimes and the need for our country to protect ourselves from foreign threats by cracking down on these crimes. Discussing both counterfeiting and general piracy, he said that failure to protect ourselves from crime could lead to problems with both the economy and the state of public safety.

Is it just me or are warrantless wiretaps, support for waterboarding and other torture tactics, as well as curbing the civil liberties of your own citizens amounts to terrorism more than downloading, say, the latest episode of Family Guy.

Must just be you. Are SONY terrorists since they have pirated other firm's software as found on their on BMG subsidiary's servers? Must be - the AG says so. Bloody pirates and terrorists. That does it. I'll never support those rats at SONY again and I urge no-one else to.

So the current problems with the American economy is basically related to movie piracy?

Oh, yeah... because every little kid starts out downloading torrents and then moves to bombing people.

Am I not seeing the imaginary connection here?

9/11 was caused by a guy who downloaded Fellowship of the Ring

Surely it was "The Two Towers" (too close to home?)

Why do they allow Grand Theft Auto games to be made but no piracy? Which is more likely to raise terrorists?

Something must be going down in Chicago, I saw 4 homeland security squads flying southbound on I294. This was on Monday.
