The could form a new branch of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms
and Jpegs (ATFJ) unit with a new Elliot Ness with hundreds of guys with
Tommy guns and laptops with modem finders chasing after people stealing
images off the internet  but it would have to be like the KGB;
Every other person in the world working for them;
To be able to put a dent in it.

All they can do is go after the big boys.
People who are cashing in big on other peoples images; intellectual property
behind their backs.
Then they can get fined big time.
The money split between the government and the photographer;
Both need it. Roads have holes in them.
Photographers need shoes.

Some lady wants to wall paper her walls with my pix off the internet I
really don't want her money. She can buy me lunch maybe.
Actually I'd buy HER lunch.
