You should know as soon as you get a good rant on I’m going to go all reasonable – you’ve done it to me enough 😉 :p

Seriously, I think it’s not Money and Power per se, but the desire for PR. Remember in prohibition they used to have the pictures of them destroying the captured whiskey, the war on drugs and the pictures of the stacks of kilo bags of coke?

Even in the rather prudish US images of 20 tactical squad guys busting in on a fat bald 50 year old with his pants around his ankles in a prostitution raid cause people to question where their tax dollars are going, and terrorists seem to be hard to come by ( even if they are supposed to be everywhere.)

So what is the cop, the agent, the DA that wants to pose for the cameras and get in the paper to do? Copyright cases. Those get lots of press.
