LOL the DMCA is not "straight from the UN", it has one section related to their former position on intellectual property. However the UN is obviously now commited fully to open source, just like you. The US Congress is rightfully going the other way, for stricter enforcement of IP laws, not pushing open source like you and the UN now constantly do.

Guess who's going to win out in the US Flamer? Me and the Congress who want IP protected, or you and the UN who want it freely given away?

The US Congress has been going the unconstitutional (not rightful) way for years because of payoffs by the copyright cartel and complying with WIPO.

By constitutional definition, anything that hurts the progress of the arts and sciences cannot be part of our copyright law, period. Yet it's there, and there even stronger in the proposed new laws.

Oh, no? What is WIPO but a UN organization?

"...it has one section related to their former position on intellectual property"

That's like saying only one section of your dinner is poisonous. Stupid philosophy. The fact is, DMCA is based on the WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty. That's the inspiration for it, and to suggest that the UN no longer supports it is a farce. Did they repeal the Performances and Phonograms treaty? Does the UN now not support DMCA? Do you read anything before spewing?

And, despite what you say, the whole reason we have DMCA is to comply with the Performances and Phonograms treaty in the first place, with the full support of the media industries and UN lackeys like yourself.

But, you'll dodge, spin and weave to defend UN policy for US citizens, heartily gobbling up the one-world philosophy while pointing the finger at everyone else.

But, I'll play along. Which "part" is from the UN, and do you oppose that part?
