Produced with the National District Attorneys Association, tells viewers that cracking down on music piracy will lead them to murders, drug dealers, and even terrorists!An official RIAA training video has been leaked that is every bit as humorous as you'd expect it to be. The same group of uber intellectuals that brought you raids and lawsuits against grandmothers, college students, kids, disabled veterans, and even the deceased has made produced a training video for law enforcement that truly baffles the mind. The first question given in the video clip below is why music piracy should be addressed in the first place. A respondent replies that because it "affects the quality of life in a DA's district" and that "it's a link to a lot of other crimes." According to her it can be used to "get into a drug house that you couldn't get in before" and that it can even "have links to terrorists organizations for those Federal prosecutors out there." Just when you though they'd completely lost it, she then says that some people even sell guns and drugs with bootleg CDs. I know I've never heard of a "Pearl Jam & Pot special" and I'm sure that I'm not alone. The other person on the panel even furthers these incredulous claims with his story of how in some places people actually ask if "'Would you like it WITH or WITHOUT?' The 'with' is a CD enclosing a piece of crack or whatever the case may be." Honestly, has anybody ever even heard of this nonsense? I mean are drug dealers really savvy enough or have the time to download and burn pirated music? Drugs as a whole would make you more money and at a faster rate than a lame bootleg copy of the new Britney Spears could ever fetch. So it's almost insulting to hear them try to make their point with a straight face. |

Hell where I am there are police officers that are more or less pulling in songs and whatnot, however we in canuckland pay a levy on our digital media so we're -mostly- safe from the RIAA goon squad.
it's a pretty slim chance, but technically it could have belonged to one of the terroists, therefor they might have a point.
