A family member has a recording of a high ranking police officer describing a noted website telling her this is thing to do, everybody is doing it. He said he bet his daughters had downloaded 1000 songs on his computer. He laughed and said he hoped the federal government did not come in and investigate him.
The person called the FBI asking if this was OK to do. The FBI agent was quick to tell the person not to do it, it was a crime and she would get caught. The agent was just as quick to ignore when the person told who had said this.

Months later after reading where students and others were being sued she sent a copy of the recording to the RIAA in Washington, DC. In so many articles it seems young people are getting put down for doing this and many times saying they should know better. The person told the RIAA how unfair she thought it was for doing this and a person in law enforcement should know better. She also noted the fact he was encouraging someone to break the law. I have seen no sign of this officer having to pay. If the law says it’s a crime then it should be a crime for everyone.

Send some thoughts on this, I would like to hear.
