A report on Threat Level details attorney general Michael Mukasey saying that intellectual property theft threatens public safety and fosters terrorism. We here at ZeroPaid understand that terrorism presents a very real threat to millions of people, so we have compiled a short list of notorious pirates in an effort to help do our civil duty.
The posting on Wired says the following:
during a 20-minute speech in which he took no questions -- added that the "the continuing worldwide escalation of counterfeiting and piracy poses a threat to both our economy and public safety." He said the "mission of the Department of Justice is clear: whether it's a complex international narcotics ring, a corrupt public official abusing his office, or some scam-artist selling counterfeit software, our job is to enforce the law and bring to justice those who perpetrate these crimes."
The Department of Justice, the attorney general said, has deployed as many as 230 federal prosecutors around the country as part of its Computer Hacking and Intellectual Property, or CHIP, network.
