[Joe Forster/STA]

Hey dajunka,

To generalize things, this world is turning into a police state. The government, the police, all executive authorities are indirectly getting into the hands of large monopolies, including but very much not limited to software/movie/music publishers (not artists/authors/developers!). Laws not defending the customers and authors (well enough) are only one symptom of this trend.

However, as you can see, most people - like sheep - are comfortable with the current situation because they don't understand what's happenning around them. A few knights of freedom won't change this, I'm afraid. Self-conscious and determined customers would; but they're almost non-existant.
