DOJ Wants $5 Million to Act as Hollywood's Private Police Force

Apparently, copyright infringement is big threat to national security, because despite the protest of many public interest groups begging President Obama to stop filling his administration with RIAA lawyers, in April 2009, he appointed the 5th RIAA attorney into the Department of Justice (DOJ). And, now, the DOJ wants $5 million to hire 14 new employees, nine of them - you guessed it - attorneys!

As Congress struggles to resolve the "debt crisis", subsidizing the rich and powerful, not the poor and unempowered, seems to be the only solution to this massive "problem". After all, if they don't continue to increase the burden on the less fortunate, the less fortunate might gather the strength to rise up and break the backbone of their power, and we wouldn't want that, would we?
