What could possibly go wrong?
Wired says Congress has passed a law creating a Copyright Czar, who will presumably help beleaguered Big Content in its crazy fight against piracy. But the Bush administration doesn’t like it:
The proposed copyright czar, a position which requires Senate confirmation, “constitutes a legislative intrusion into the internal structure and composition of the president’s administration. This provision is therefore objectionable on constitutional separation of powers grounds,” the White House wrote lawmakers.
That was code for the Bush administration being in no mood to commence another war, this one the War on Piracy. The government is too busy battling the War on Terror and the War on Drugs.
Hard to see why the czar of this particular war doesn’t fit right in.

it is surprising to see that the administration is against it. They love finding new ways to control the population
I keep having visions of that annoying, nasally voiced lawyer from The Simpsons who replaced Lionel Hutz as the recurring lawyer character.
Remember when he was handing out injunctions to Christmas Carolers?
