Sad to see such wayward equations :(
IMO, this is hilarous :D
The International Intellectual Property Alliance (IIPA) stance would not stand in any court of law.
Besides, the US Govt. is a big consumer of open source and it's National Security Agency (NSA) has been the architect of SELinux. Therefore by induction the US Govt., which is being asked to declare open source users as pirates, itself is a pirate. Not to mention, the US Govt. would have to lock up Intel, AMD, HP, IBM, Dell (all US based companies) for contributing code to open source and also selling solutions based on open source. Wow!
