Hit the link but this is crazy, The IIPA's Section 301 filing basically
states that open source is WORSE than piracy.

The reasoning is:

*It encourages a mindset that does not give due consideration to the value
to intellectual creations. As such, it fails to build respect for
intellectual property rights...*

Apparently Open Source does not have any intellectual property rights
(copyright) attached to it, even tho GPL licensing has been repeatedly held
up in court.

determination, and and endless supply of expendable labor.
