Suppose whoever concocted this idea envisions the weasel climbing onto
computer desks and making off with pirate CDs or floppies?  Hmmm...can I
train my desk-climbing Felix to read labels so I can hire him out?  :-)
 
I read the article and snickered at the irony that these folks picked a
_thief_ for their mascot!  Some people will object to associating a fuzzy
with the copyright/piracy police.  However, I am glad the organization
seems to recognize the ferret as a virtuous, popular animal, not the
tongue-biting, baby-chewing evil incarnate that our enemies make it out
to be.
