I'm sure you have read and heard that sloggan before. But here is a nice little tidbit over at Human Rights Watch titled "Incarcerated America". While the page was written for racial/war on drug reasons, remember this little bit "Nearly three quarters of new admissions to state prison were convicted of nonviolent crimes". I wonder how many of those are copyright/IP related? And with over 2 million inmates costing an avg of $44,000 each, well that is a lot of tax money. $88,000,000,000 a year because america has the highest percentage and number of their citizens behind bars.
