Re: [dvd-discuss] Hackers = terrorists, an analysis

Good point....but I think Jack "Boots" Valenti is not one.....after 
reading the WIPO or WTO stance on how to introduce copyright inforcement 
into a country I', not certain they don't have that written somewhere in 
their hallowed halls. Their notion that in "uncivilized" countries the 
police should first treat copyright infringement as a criminal act with 
raids, block sweeps of market places and then after busting the heads of 
the infringers enought they can soften it to a civil crime. That is a 
mockery of justice.

but we know a few people who I'm afraid are quite willing to KILL for
that.
