Holder: Tattle on your neighbors for piracy

The attorney general said rights holders need Americans’ help, not just the government’s. He said the United States is “encouraging the American people to become vigilant partners in identifying and disrupting intellectual property crimes.”

“Intellectual property theft,” he said, ranges from “counterfeit consumer goods and pharmaceuticals to illegal downloads and other pirated materials.”

The government, Holder added, “won’t be able to win this fight and keep pace with today’s criminals alone. Our efforts will always depend not only on law enforcement activity and industry partnerships, but also on robust public engagement and the vigilance of the American people.”

While we applaud the idea of installing keyloggers on friends’ computers to see if they are undermining the country’s economic recovery, asking America to be on the lookout for terrorists and intellectual-property infringers at the same time could be confusing.

Say, for instance, you spot an unattended, and possibly counterfeit Gucci bag in an airport? Who do you call first: The Transportation Security Administration or the Justice Department?

I'm anxiously awaiting the launch of PirateWatch.com with ominous red fonts on black background and pictures of gangsters hocking bootleg DVDs.

The TSA. In the event someone comes back to claim that purse they can bring in the military to detain that person indefinitely without trial as a suspected terrorist. If you call the justice department you've got to deal with all that due process and bill of rights bullshit.

Yeah, this is all just part of the agenda. Everyone look the other way and pretend it isn't happening, meanwhile we are turning into a totalitarian police state of tattle tale control freaks.

:lol no they really don't, unless your "point" is to be an internet troll. Most empty 63,000 posts I've ever seen. (Insert question below)I've found this is a common tactic for people whose butts still hurt after refusing to answer a few simple questions. It's quite lazy, but you probably see no other recourse. You certainly can't discuss anything honestly.

I guess I could just put them in statements saying you wouldn't answer a question regarding _____ because it would make you look like an idiot and/or completely destroy whatever stupid point you were trying to make in the first place.

I'm not going to ask; rather I will assume you would prefer not being engaged in a discussion and instead merely described by others.

Fine by me.

tbqh, Hollywood spends just as much on both sides of the aisle. That's why a lot that they want passed is "bipartisan"...

I haven't flown in a while; are there flea markets or purse peddlers inside airports nowadays?
