"LOL the DMCA is not "straight from the UN"

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?
