“Reader’s Write” #3 got the point.

the reason it’s in the P2P section is obvious.

However, the RIAA/MPAA are more than happy to sue/fine/send to jail any non-profitting who is caught uploading via p2p. That's a double standard, plain and simple. It's a bit of a stretch, yes, but it's still a double standard.

What does this have to do with P2P? At any rate, three immediate points: 1. it is up to the copyright holders, not you, to "police" (lol) the copyrights of their trademarks. They have the time and money to do this, and it is in their best interests to do so. 2. there is no way any corporation would ever make a public fiasco out of trying to shut down the use of their trademarked images & voices by a police department anywhere except perhaps in a Communist-controlled area! The public (and media) outcry would be unbelievable, to their detriment. Better to look the other way and let the cops just do what they want... 3. maybe I'm wrong but it appears that you made this a tad too personal Jon, as if you had an axe to grind against all cops. I am no fan of the police myself, but I don't go around making myself an easy target with public posts like that! :-) Hmmm. What does this have to do with P2P? At any rate, three immediate points:
