Your tax dollars at work

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office is apparently so busy that when the RIAA volunteered to write the USPTO's reports, the USPTO thought it was a win-win situation. The extracted content in the first link is the condemning part. The press release doesn't sound so bad. Probably because it leaves out mention of national security being harmed when the RIAA is forced to sue children and therefore look like a badguy. People installing file sharing software on sensitive systems (and configuring said software to share sensitive files from those systems) appears to be the only real problem. That doesn't mean file sharing software is evil, it means people are stupid.
