New technology is "encouraging large-scale criminal enterprises to get involved in intellectual-property theft," Gonzales said, adding that proceeds from the illicit businesses are used, "quite frankly, to fund terrorism activities."

Absurd. At best, this is a confusion between piracy of physical objects and piracy of purely digital objects. Explain to me how there is money being made from the efforts of file sharers? Isn't the entire point that they're not paying?

Furthermore, I quite simply do not buy this argument. Organized crime, yes, fine, I'll swallow that.

Gonzales gets negative 1000 points for invoking terrorists in a venue which has absolutely nothing to do with the topic. If you download Chingy, kids, Osama gets stronger!

Pathetic.
