wow, this is just surreal

This is a leaked official RIAA training video produced with the National District Attorneys Association telling U.S. prosecutors why they should bust
music pirates: Because it'll lead them to "everything from handguns to large quantities of cocaine [and] marijuana," not to mention terrorists and
murderers!
The whole video is over 60 minutes long—these are just two of the more outrageous minutes with Jim Dedman, from the NDAA, interviewing Deborah
Robinson and Frank Walters from the RIAA about the benefits of going SWAT on music pirates. At one point, Walters says the piracy/drug connection can
be so bad that you get asked "When you buy a CD, would you like it with or without—the with is enclosing a piece of crack or whatever the case may
be."
damn, trying to link bootleg cds to drugs, guns and terrorism. Saying that piracy "reduces the quality of life within the District Attorney's
Jurisdiction."
that's some pretty scary legal talk.
they are trying to say crack sales and bootleg movie sales go hand in hand, and that all the serious murders are getting out of jail and getting into
bootlegging.
the sad thing is, the US is just the type of country filled with idiots that gobble this crap up with a spoon as ask for more.
