Did you know that NBC/Universal's General Counsel has gone on the record saying that the police spend too much time investigating and dealing with trivial crimes like theft, fraud, burglary and bank robberies (http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20070615-copyright-coalition-piracy-more-serious-than-burglary-fraud-bank-robbery.html) and not enough on real crimes like copyright infringement?

That is not surprising, but it is disappointing. Do they know they've crossed the border into shriekish hysteria-stan?

I doubt it, they're literally trying to get American laws changed to force the police to prioritize IP crime over real crime. I just thought that little tid-bit might make that clip seem a little funnier. After all, the guys does all that aweful stuff and then the FBI's after the girl, who just downloaded a song, instead of the guy.

Yeah, I'm sure the RIAA would love to have squads of attack lawyers roaming the streets, seeking out those who imperil profitable IPs.
