Nope, I posted mine and right at the same time (at least according to the time on the post itself) Toppo posted his remark as well. I probably should have edited my post but its alright.

@varnull, it wouldn't amaze me if something like that happened.

Nope, unless the riaa/mpaa can convince the govt that "copywrite infringement" is a form of terrorism, which actually isn't too far fetched. I mean, they can justify suing a single mom and take food from her kids plate. I see sanctions coming. Cus that's the easiest way to take food from people's plates.

ah, but this commercial terrorism and it's quasi-legal position doesn't just depend upon the court system and "the law". Nooo, they are so uncertain that they exert pressure and lobby the US government to put pressure upon China to play the game the USA way.

Which president said, "The business of this country is business"? So much for its citizens.

Oh how i wish that China would just tell the US to go take a hike or sit on it and twist.

All over the world, the USA and it blood hungry vampires are trying to impose US law. And don't you love the way that they do it? Do what we say because we owe you more money than we can pay you back

That is a nice thought :-) Conjures up images of 1 billion folks ignoring and walking the recording predators into the ground. Gives me a nice warm "Fuck 'em" feeling. <Grin>
