FBI Prioritizes Copyright Over Missing Persons 372
An anonymous reader writes "The FBI has limited resources, so it needs to prioritize what it works on. However, it's difficult to see why dealing with copyright infringement seems to get more attention than identity theft or missing persons. In the past year, the FBI has announced a special new task force to fight intellectual property infringement, but recent reports have shown that both identity theft and missing persons have been downgraded as priorities by the FBI, to the point that there are a backlog of such cases."

Precisely. Missing people don't pay their bills.

Kill all birds with one stone.
1) Every person should be copyrighted
2) Any missing person should be considered abducted and cross filed under copyright theft
3) Any person that has gone missing should be cross filed under identity theft as it could be an abduction, copyright abduction / theft, and a missing person at the same time.
I could find sarcastic ways to connect ident theft & copyrights to possibility of missing persons but I'm lazy.

The kidnappers would never let you do that. Even terrorists would never torrent! I mean they're bad, but they're not that bad!

No, you're thinking of cloning. Rape would be creating a derivative work without the authors permission.

missing people do not have a powerful lobby
If they could find their lobby, they'd practically be home.
