IPO Anarchy

I admit, I was skeptical about reading a book that contained the word "anarchy" in its title however I was drawn to the argument that America as a society is IP crazy, especially as it pertains to "culture". In Ch. 7 of The Anarchist in the Library, it argues that some forms of culture should not be regulated. I've worked in the home entertainment industry for many years and it's estimated that property rights owners lose approximately $5B in revenue on an annual basis. $5B! And it's getting worse. According to an article by Industry Press for IP Awareness LTD, piracy is a crime and it needs to be stopped now.

I fully support peer-to-peer experiences but when it impacts the U.S. economy and IP owners, this type of information sharing should not be tolerated. I think Microsoft, Google, George W. Bush, Curious George, The United States of America, Boomtown Rats, In God We Trust and other brands should all be protected under IP law and we're not doing enough to do so.
