It would also seem to me that an enforcement agency turning their complaints in to a prosecutor would not ever be that gross.
..I'm complaining (again)? How did you construe a complain from this?

so there is a potential base of a million copyright owners/taxpayers.If that office would cater to the million of copyright owners out there, you would have a point. Unfortunately, that hasn't been the case (so far).
so funding is purely the issue for you regarding the enforcement agency.In a vacuum with unlimited funds, I wouldn't have a problem either.
Do you have any cost projections of this proposed agency, and a comparison of such cost to the 'war on drugs'?
....or is this an issue where spending $1 on it is spending $1 too much?

I don't think I've ever said anywhere who is right or wrong. Again, jmo, for all practical purposes, it's theft.
