It is with deepest regret that I must inform you that our president is a digital pirate . I am not one of those who feels it likely that royalties were paid on that iPod , full of show tunes, the Obamas graciously bestowed on the Queen. But, it is all kind of ironic—since the president was in London to promote the “New World Order.” One of the building blocks of that new order is the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) , being negotiated behind closed doors. Jamie Love , director of... Read Full Story
