FILE SHARING OF SONGS

Phil at Camp Katrina notes a recent AP story on illegal down-loading of songs. In this one particular case, the music recording industry peeked into her computer while she was at church with her children and decided to take her to court. The mother claims she has never downloaded any songs. Whatever. You can read the AP story here.

Phil brings up an interesting point though:

"So let me get this straight: it's perfectly alright for the music recording industry to peek inside a computer without a warrant to look for downloaded songs, but it's a federal crime for President Bush to monitor phone calls to try to save American lives?

Heh, heh. Good point Phil.
