Well, isn’t this just great. Just a little while back, the Justice Department announced that fighting “intellectual property crime” was a major priority. At the time, we wondered if there weren’t more important things for the DOJ to be working on. The answer is yes, of course, but the Justice Department has apparently decided to push them off the priority list. A new report on identity fraud notes that it has “faded” as a priority for the DOJ and the FBI. Ah, right, the stuff that actually harms individuals directly and isn’t a civil or business model issue? Why focus on that when you can prop up your friends in Hollywood?
