Arthur B;

read all the posts prior to my first one. my "screw you" comments are to those people who are simply anti-American. by the way, i never said i was an American; you're implying that.

( however, i have a suspicion that you are indeed a left-wing liberal American, who probably voted for John Kerry. just my suspicion based on your rhetoric. )

your statement about companies that have a policy to allow piracy....come on. that's not realistic; you have no internal knowledge of an "policy"; that's just more rhetoric. MS can make no money on pirated software; i'm sure they would have rather sold all that software that was pirated. it's ridiculous to think there's a "policy" that says otherwise.

i now see where your Echelon info is coming from; the EU. an anti-American slanted EU is not a credible source of something as covert as Echelon. you need to do your research on that topic more thoroughly.

read the article again; point out where it says that the focus is to change local laws. that's not mentioned anywhere; no matter how "obvious" you're making it out to be. sending people on site to encourage them to enforce anti-piracy laws does not require them to make their laws match ours verbatim.

in your last paragraph you stated that there are copyright laws in place; exactly! they're not being enforced. what do you think this whole initiative is about? enforce the laws in place. this isn't rocket science. the anti-US people who first posted are mad because the US wants foreign countries to enforce copyright laws that are *in place*, not create new duplicate-US laws.

do you see this yet? (there should be a light coming on soon...). you are probably the most intelligent poster here; surely you can grasp this concept of enforcing what's already in place?
