While the studios are getting themselves in a tizzy about the leaked, unfinished version of Wolverine, there were far more heinous events unfolding in the world of copyright infringement. Barack H. Obama, the president of the United States of America, was (allegedly) committing international copyright law, illegally (allegedly) trading intellectual property to the monarch of another country.

Over at the Electronic Frontier Foundation's blog, the organization's senior staff attorney Fred von Lohmann explores the legality of Obama's recent gift of an iPod to the Queen of England. Along with the iPod, Obama gifted 40 show tunes ripped from a purchased CD.

He would have likely had help. Those that helped him were likely helping for personal gain— as delivered in one fashion or another, thus, payment of value for services rendered.

Knowing how the government works and considering the hundreds of helpers that directly work for him, it is then likely that he had 5 or more subordinate conspirators working on this task with him. He gave this unlawfully manufactured item at a time when he was asking the Queens country for money, thus he expected to be compensated for the exchange....

There, close enough, RICO that jerk and get him our of here. ;>)

Clarification!:

Ignorant Idiot*

* This description of ZERO OBAMA comes directly from the Expert, Presidente Hugo Chavez who has called ZERO directly both “AN IDIOT” and “AN IGNORAMUS!” seperately two different times in the last few weeks. Hugo Chavez knows what he is talking about on this subject! Bet Chavez has a copy and knows what ZERO’S Birth Certificate shows as well!
Watching for ZERO to lick Chavez’s shoes prostrated just like ZERO just did to The KING of Saudi Arabia:-(!

It's tragic, since so few people in the entertainment industry supported Obama.

Yup. And Shelly gave Carla (?) a guitar (a Wilson guitar, and she apparently does make records).

I’m sure The Queen would much rather listen to Obama’s speeches than to show tunes. LOL!
