A guy from US DOJ testified during a recent Congressional hearing that illegal copying of music, movies and SW was used to fund terrorism. (See here.)

I find this unsettling for two reasons: first, it is amazing what a third-rate industry group's money like that of RIAA can buy in Washington these days. Even worse: if terrorism can be invented just like that where there is clearly none for the benefit of RIAA, can you imagine what aerospace or oil industry is doing? Makes one start believing most absurd conspiracy theories....

(Thanks to people enquiring about me. I am alive, well, and, I hope, back . There was nothing wrong, I was just very busy and barely found time to occasionally browse my favourite BBS headings.)

Cheers!
