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.
