Here is NYT's latest report on IP issues related primarily to the FastTrack-based P2P networks. The increase in video content is the focus of the story, with choice quotes from all sides, including this one:

"We're fighting our own terrorist war ... The great moat that protects us ... is lack of broadband access." -- Jack Valenti

This sort of thing is becoming increasingly common. Does anyone else find this behavior (that of invoking "terror" in all sorts of unrelated contexts in order to promote one's personal agenda) extremely annoying, troublesome, even downright rude? Does not Jack Valenti seek to equate DivX trading with sudden, massive, and tragic loss of human life?
