The RIAA announced yesterday that they have hired Bradley A. Buckles, director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), to head up their anti-piracy unit.

"This is just another example of the RIAA's ongoing plan to treat American consumers like criminals instead of customers," said EFF Staff Attorney Jason Schultz. "If they really wanted to solve their file-sharing problems, the RIAA should have considered hiring someone with a business plan rather than a baton and a bulletproof vest."
