File Sharing — Harmful to Children and a Threat to National Security

jkrobin writes to mention that a recent report from the US Patent office calls peer-to-peer file sharing harmful to children and a threat to national security. "Interestingly, the report makes numerous references to RIAA and MPAA legal actions against file actions, as well as cites a 2005 Department of Homeland Security report that government workers had installed file-sharing programs that accessed classified information without their knowledge."

Hmmm...

Wouldn't it be better to say:

"Government Employees - A Threat to Children and National Security"

USPTO?

So, the USPTO, who's task it is to ensure that patents and trademarks are properly upheld, are now suddenly concerned about national security and our children?

Who is the author of the report?

by Jon W. Dudas,
Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Director of the United States
Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO)

Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property? What does that involve? Duh! Helping ones greedy friends in the MAFIAA fight their War on Freedom. Pretty obvious Mr. Dudas!
