First of all, the U. S. Constitution created an investigative body that
has jurisdiction over the investigation of Federal Felonies.
This body is a Federal Grand Jury.

Secondly, the establishment of Copyright and Patent law is meant to encourage
original work in the national interest (in the national interest because jobs
are created, and markets are either created or satisfied).
This indicates to me that the investigation of Copyright violation is in the
national interest.
