So I just checked out ICE's website (http://www.ice.gov/about/offices/homeland-security-investiga...) and I have absolutely no idea why a domestic copyright violation case would fall within their jurisdiction. Any ideas how they twist this to fit in their "mission"?

In short, Customs covers counterfeit, which extends to IP rights. Not saying I agree with it, but that seems to be the justification.
