: Well, surely those employees hired to discover such things can find the REAL cases of this!!!

OK, please tell me what a REAL copyright infringement case is.

: This is not a real case. If I was the top dog, I would have many more serious
: issues to deal with than that. If those guys brought that to my desk, I would
: tell them to get serious and go find some real cases!!!

: In the state of Florida, if a motorist takes offense at a bumper sticker on
: your car, he/she can turn you in to the authorities. The trooper who pulls
: you over has the option of letting it slide, fining you, or even arresting
: you. Now, do you want the law enforcement officers to address the real
: criminals, or do you want to face the possibility of being harassed over a
: "SHIT HAPPENS" bumper sticker (or "HOW'S MY DRIVING - CALL 1-800-EAT-SHIT")?

: Do you want your local law enforcement to waste your taxes on staking out a
: convention center, waiting for a rap artist to finish his expletive-filled
: show, and then arrest him on outdated "obscenities" charges..or do you want
: your P.D. to do its real job???

I don't see the conections b/t an 'EAT SHIT' bumper sticker & a copyright infringement case....the PD doesn't get involved in the copyright case!!
