It seems that maybe we anti-copyright, pro-privacy internet libertarians
have more in common with terrorists than we'd care to admit. Coming from
Salon, I am not quick to deride this as more war propaganda--it's an
interesting synthesis of the facts.

"Strange but true: The rules of engagement in "America's New War" have a
great deal in common with the content wars of the last few years. The RIAA
and the MPAA -- the FBI and the CIA of the entertainment industries -- have
been involved in extended legal battles with the music traders and software
hackers of the world, and the strategies they have employed show some
striking parallels to recent American anti-terrorist strategic thought. "
