Source: The Associated Press: Feds seize movie piracy websites in sweeping raid
What the FUCK????? It takes 20 years to become an American citizen, non citizens are being shot on our borders as they pass back and forth, and states are doing questionable things to try to protect their economies and citizens, and preventing Joe College from downloading a copy of some damn movie/TV show is THE IMPORTANT THING TO DO????
Ok, I gotta admit a lot of this is stress from having to put up with all the bullshit I heard during the presidential campaigns WHICH HAD ALMOST EASED OFF, but fuck my horta people, did we at least get something out of selling a government agency to Hollywood? How long until we freaking nuke Bollywood?
How can the government justify the use of the customs service to prop up a poor business model? Will possible alternate energy sources creators be capped by ICE to protect Standard Oil? Especially since the GAO (Government Accounting Office) debunks the MPAA's clanking claims about how Movie piracy is costing the US Billions of dollars.
Jeebus, at least when Clinton took bribes from China it helped lower the Tariff levy between the US and China.
The head of ICE, John Morton, says that the number of illegal movie sites is dramatically rising both in the U.S. and abroad, and organized crime is behind some of them. ICE is putting movie piracy front and center in this new initiative, by making its first actions to protect the movie studios' intellectual property.

LOS ANGELES — U.S. officials on Wednesday announced a major crackdown on movie piracy that involved seizing several websites that were offering downloads of pirated movies just hours after they appeared in theaters. Officials also seized assets from 15 bank, investment and advertising accounts, and executed residential search warrants in North Carolina, New Jersey, New York and Washington.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials worked with the Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York. The raids were the first actions in a new initiative to combat Internet counterfeiting and piracy called "Operation In Our Sites."
