Impressive.
I wish I could react online and remember them this quotation :
"Facism will come to America 
in the guise of national security"
        -- Jim Garrison : 1967

I you don't know who Jim Garrison is, then ... google is your friend.... 
unless you're stuck on sites that claims he failed that little he won.

I'm also puzzled by the last part of the article :
"But what else would you expect from an organization that routinely lies 
about 
piracy, slickly including open source products in their 'loss' statistics? ® 

BSA members include Adobe, Apple Computer, Autodesk, Bentley Systems, 
Borland, 
CNC Software/Mastercam, Dell, EDS, Entrust, HP, IBM, Intel, Intuit, 
Macromedia, Microsoft, Network Associates, Novell, Sybase, and Symantec."

Hum, Apple Computer, Dell, HP, IBM, I thought their business was in part 
based 
on Free Software. Could they make up their minds, once and for all ?
