P2P endangers children and undermines national security? Yeah, right.

The lobbying wizards over at the MPAA and RIAA are at it again, presumably. This time, they have managed to get the US Patent Office to release a statement saying that peer to peer file sharing endangers children and undermines national security. Seriously. I'm not making this up. The only things they fail to include in this are claims that the sky is falling and Armageddon is coming.

You know a business model is in danger when its backers start invoking the "Think of the children! (tm)" and "Terrorists could strike again! (tm)" arguments. Oh, and remember kids...
