Pardon us, U.S. House of Representatives — is that… is that mud on your face? Don’t worry, you’re not the only government group to get caught allegedly downloading pirated content from the Internets. A new report claims that someone or multiple someones in the offices of the U.S. House of Representatives have been catching up on TV and movies by illegally downloading content recently.

U.S. News & World Report’s “Washington Whispers” blog says it got its hands on data compiled by ScanEye, a site that checks on which IP addresses have been downloading stuff on BiTorrent.

Dexter would find the House of Representatives to be a target rich environment.

Oh, for crying out loud. They're ENTITLED to do things that we ordinary mortals can't. Stealing is a way of life in Washington, D.C.

Besides, they're just watching it for research purposes, to help them put an end to gun, er, knife violence...

You’re not supposed to download - you’re supposed to stream.
