U.S. gov"t more active in piracy fight

"The U.S. government is becoming more willing to push the agenda of
Hollywood and the music industry internationally, according to recent media
reports.

The May raid on the Swedish torrent site, ThePirateBay.org, is only the
most overt action recently taken by the U.S. government on behalf of
content owners. The U.S. also appears to be pushing an international treaty
that would give broadcasters additional--and unnecessary, argues Duke Law
School professor James Boyle--intellectual property rights on any
transmitted content. The Bush Administration has offered to do even more,
according to an article in the Washington Post."

Translation: The music industry's lobbyists are working hard to buy the US
Senators to push their agenda abroad....nice eh?
