Saddam the Pirate

As readers are no doubt aware, I follow the machinations of the RIAA and MPAA regarding copyright very closely. But this is what showed up today during my news scan for 'pirate' - (also shows up on American Realpolitik)

The palace had been stripped of most personal items, but the building boasted a sophisticated audio-video system. Troops looking in one cabinet found a collection of pirated movies, "Les Miserables" among them.

So, the bastard wasn't only a brutal dictator - he was a pirate! I wonder if the above mentioned organizations plan to file a claim with whatever "war crimes" commission is set up to cover their "losses"?
