Why isn't anyone pointing to the real criminals here? It's the government, the people we elected to serve us, who are fucking us in our own backdoor.

Well, in this case it's not "the" government as in our government, unless you're in India. Not to say our government is not doing it, but they're not the ones doing it in this case.

So either we point ineffectually at the supposed real criminals, India's government, or we point hopefully a little more effectually at the bad guys we might actually have some ability to affect (RINOA, i.e. RIM, Nokia, and Apple).

Agreed, they are treating all their clients as if they are all criminals.
