Nice to see the MPAA dictating our foreign policy towards Sweden and Spain and getting the U.S. to abduct people from New Zealand didn't come cheap. http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20120216/14555317783/mpaa-hires-four-ex-federal-government-employees-including-one-ice-another-white-house.shtml (http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20120216/14555317783/mpaa-hires-four-ex-federal-government-employees-including-one-ice-another-white-house.shtml)
This explains how the MPAA was able to use ICE as its own private police force.
And since the selling of used video games was a topic on these forums, this shows an attack on the First Sales Doctrine. The ability to sell a physical copyrighted work as long as you purchased it legally. There are a lot of ludicrous implications if the First Sales Doctrine goes out the window. http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20120224/03083617862/how-us-trade-rep-is-trying-to-wipe-out-used-goods-sales-with-secretive-tpp-agreement.shtml (http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20120224/03083617862/how-us-trade-rep-is-trying-to-wipe-out-used-goods-sales-with-secretive-tpp-agreement.shtml)
