DC CTO Vivek Kundra Named To Top Federal IT Job 105

DCTechCzar writes "The Obama administration plans to announce it has appointed Vivek Kundra, the District of Columbia's chief technology officer, to take the top information technology post in the federal government, according to a source. Kundra, who has deployed advanced applications to improve the performance of public services during his nearly two years as CTO for the District, will replace Karen Evans as administrator for e-government and information technology in the Office of Management and Budget. The position effectively serves as the federal government's chief information officer. The administration could announce Kundra's appointment as soon as Thursday."

"Not 'illegal' because copyright infringement is not a criminal offense" ?

I'm sorry, but that's silly. Have you not heard the term "Copyright LAW"? Copyright rules are made by Congress, a government body charged with creating laws. Copyright infringement issues are tried in a court of law.

"Illegal" means "against the law." It doesn't mean "something that gets you a mandatory prison sentence" or any such other thing. Copyright infringement violates the laws that Congress has passed. It's illegal.
