Because my neighbor downloading an episode of "Bones" via Bittorrent is just as bad as running a crack house (this is in LA):

In an ordinance just adopted, the five-member board is declaring that piracy "substantially interferes with the interest of the public in the quality of life and community peace, lawful commerce in the county, property values, and is detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare of the county's citizens, its businesses and its visitors."

Can someone send the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors a thesaurus, with the phrase "sense of proportion" underlined?
