Waste of goverment time and funds by Katrina Olsen, Sep 24, 2008 (11:50pm)
This bill would place an unnecessary burden on the department of justice by significantly increasing its role in copyrights violations. The department of justice opposes the bill, recognizing that it would waste department time and funds (which come from tax-payers).
