I would imagine he was refering to the pirated intellectual property
being sold over there on the streets for the worlds consumption...

He needs to visit the Middle East. I used to travel to Bahrain to fix Navy
ships in the 80's. There were huge stores FILLED with copied cassettes,
mostly from Bangledesh and India, but of every kind of music you ever
heard. Cassettes stacked from floor to ceiling. All were priced at about
$US1 ($US50 today after the Federal Reserve devaluations). Everyone came
home with bags of great cassettes. There's still a few in a drawer around
here, somewhere...

Most small countries don't HAVE a copyright law, making this perfectly
legal. RIAA and MPAA only control the UNITED STATES to the borders. This
bureaucrat needs to check his passport to see what country he represents
for them. It's not the whole planet....
