From the article:

which covers copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks and patents -- also says that those who benefit most from this theft "are criminals, and alarmingly, criminal organizations with possible ties to terrorism."

-------------------------

Now the MPAA can relax because you terrorists who copy movies can be persecute.. I mean prosecuted.

No wonder why Samuel Johnson said patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel.

If it's against terrorism, it's for America!

Or, if you can use the justification of terrorism do it. Only those "unpatriotic" would oppose it.

This seems to be the White House's default position when challenged on any and every policy: "This is an essential part of the war on terror!"

and they always use words like "possible", they never have any proofs of any connections, just the "possibility" of something, that way no one can proof them wrong, smart but sooooo transparent
