Group Challenges Arrest of Man for 'Linking to Other Websites'
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/03/12/group-challenges-arrest-man-linking-websites/
"The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE) arrested Bryan McCarthy, 32, earlier this month and
charged him with one count of copyright infringement."
/Several questions came to mind when I read this item://
/
1. /Why have charges not been brought against Google, Bing,
Yahoo!, Ixquick, etc.?/
2. /Why is DHS involved in this investigation? /
3. /Wouldn't DHS funds be better spent securing our borders than
by worrying about alleged copyright infringement?
/
4. /Why is ICE involved in this investigation?
/
5. /What are the customs and immigration issues regarding this case?/
6. /Why have we not heard about any arrests involving the
individuals or companies that were actually "intercepting and
then streaming live sporting events"?/
7. /Isn't copyright infringement the bailiwick of the FBI?/
"McCarthy marveled that the complaint does not even allege that McCarthy
made a copy of anything. "This is the first time the government has gone
after anyone for just linking to other websites," he said."
