crap, crap and double crap

Hillary Rosen is going to "help" set Iraq's copyright law. Joy. (For those who forget, the US recently extended copyright to 70 years path the death of the original author, although its effectively limitless if said copyright is held by a company.)

Translation: the RIAA may impose hefty copyright laws in Iraq before the UN's humanitarian efforts take hold. Good to see somebody's got their priorities straight.
