Los Angeles Says Piracy 'Detrimental to the Public Health, Safety'

OK, I'm convinced! The entertainment industry really has lost it's collective mind. As if this story we're proof enough, I offer this sordid tale from the Grey Lady herself: apparently the execs from NBC/Universal have slept through the last decade and still think DRM is a great idea, and apparently the Evil Empire itself is backing the assertion. Which is hilarious, in light of the fate of their previous DRM effort.

Los Angeles County, following New York's lead, is declaring property a public nuisance if it's used to counterfeit copyrighted music and videos. Among the reasons: "It's detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare" of the public at large. Penalties range up to $1,000 for violation and properties can be shuttered.
