		<description>I guess the next step will be a move to ban Open Source as &quot;anti-business,&quot; and in some countries, therefore a hindrance to the &quot;war on terror.&quot;

They can get some celebrities to do PSAs emphasizing that people who use Open Source software are &quot;helping the terrorists,&quot; and from that, it will be just a hop-skip to have all authors, distributors, and then, users, of Open Source software put on the &quot;list,&quot; just to facilitate the process of indefinite detention without getting tied up in rejectionist court-related delays.

Meanwhile, RIAA consultants can work with commercial software companies and legislators to develop enhanced monitoring features that will help Homeland Security and other law-enforcement agencies identify computer and internet users of interest, for example, trouble-makers who post comments that could be construed as anti-business and/or anti-regime, and therefore anti war on terror, which could, in turn, encourage Enemies of the country in question by giving the false impression that its people do not speak with One Voice of Unity and Unshakable Resolve to help business by imposing its will on those who oppose various policies of the country, all of which are dedicated to increasing revenues of that country&#039;s key business interests, such as defense/correction-related industries, pharmaceuticals, and of course, producers of commercial software.</description>
