Dave,
I would like to comment on Barry's response to news about
the DoJ's p-2-p investigation/arrest. Regardless of what
one's opinion is on the swapping of copyrighted goods via p-
2-p networks, the facts surrounding this particular
investigation clearly DO NOT insinuate that p-2-p criminal
investigations have become a priority for the DOJ.
One "federal law-enforcement action targeting distribution
of copyrighted materials over so-called peer-to-peer
networks" does not make a priority.
Does Barry have evidence to suggest that resources are being
pulled away from the hunt for OBL and funneled towards an
organized DoJ fight against p-2-p networks? We clearly
should not expect the DoJ to ignore other types of
investigations.
Baseless accusations do nothing but foster unwarranted fear
and lead to a mis-informed public.
