It seems that the if nobody pirated anything ever, half of the video and
audio industry will be unemployed because there will be nobody to police...
They won't be able to justify the high cost that they sell the stuff for, so they
can pay their own salaries. The bootleggers actually support the recording
industry and keep those people in the security team employed.

As evil as this may sound...

The Homeland Security Department and those getting a paycheck from
them... The bigshotss in that department wouldn't have a job if it wasn't
for 9-11... so who really are the bad guys? maybe its the ones making a
living from the sad incident and then capitalizing on the situation by
continuing to put doubts in people minds...

Some asshole is always trying to make another buck... Hollywood
must have given AT&T a fat inside deal to get them to agree to
something like this... Or possibly, AT&T had suggested that they
might be able to help them out for some big bucks to collect info
for them... (all nasty deals...)
