In a speech yesterday before a summit organized by the US Chamber of Commerce, NBC Universal CEO Jeff Zucker was quoted as proclaiming his industry and legislators are jointly losing the war against intellectual property piracy - a fight which impacts him personally as the chief of one of the world's principal content creators.

Though a complete transcript has yet to be made available, Broadcasting & Cable reports Zucker essentially drew an outline around both physical pirates and P2P file sharers, in an attempt to shame them all with an "axis of evil" style metaphor.
