"They will not, he said, work on behalf its corporate interests"
Unless it's the RIAA, MPAA, MAFIAA or American Oil Interests... in which case, it's business as usual.
- AndrewKemendo 12y agoAt least in the RIAA and MPAA cases, aren't the feds just enforcing piracy laws that are on the books? I mean we can argue that RIAA/MPAA were the ones who got them into the books in the first place, but it's not like corporations can approach the CIA to perform economic espionage, despite what some may think.
- Zikes 12y agoThe way they handled the MEGA thing it sure seemed like they were acting as mere hired guns.
- balabaster 12y agoI imagine it was less like them acting as hired guns and more like "someone" convincing them that if they didn't act they'd look like idiots who have no power to uphold "the law."... the end game is the same, but the politics that got it there were a lot muddier I'm sure.
