Leaked RIAA Training Video: Find Pirates, Find Crack-Dealing Terrorist Murderers Too!

wow, this is just surreal

gizmodo.com...

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 coc aine [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.

not sure if I'm allowed to link directly to the file... but the entire training video has been uploaded as a torrent, and can be found easily by searching The Pirate Bay for "leaked riaa"
