The FBI has announced a new anti-piracy seal to raise awareness about criminal piracy. It’s written to make the reader think that the FBI is coming after users of P2P systems, even though very few could be found guilty of criminal copyright infringement.

I’m as much opposed to criminal copyright infringement as the next guy, but this smacks of scare tactics.

And, worse, they misused the word “misanthropic” in the last paragraph. I don’t think virus writers are driven by mistrust of human nature and scorn for their fellow man. It seems they looked up “antisocial” in Roget’s and went with the most evil-sounding word listed. Tsk, tsk.
