the DMCA is basically crafted by the UN

And this new law will replace it. Did the U/N work on this new law? Or are they too busy pushing open source now with their new agency dedicated to that? Richard Stallman is who's on the latest U.N. speaker lists, not Jack Valenti who someone else brought up.

Weak arguments indeed. If you look at the draft, it amends the current legislation, mainly toughening the penalties and expanding the definitions of what infringement is, far beyond the original UN scope. Underneath, though, the original UN intent is still intact...give the government new and sweeping powers to confiscate property and ignore due process.

The intent of the law is exactly what the UN wants, and lackeys like yourself are salivating at the prospect of it's passing. You're marching in lockstep with your buddies from Vietnam and Iran who are also members of WIPO.

One world, one law, huh? That's just the way you want it, right? Keep defending it if you want, just like you defend Planned Parenthood and look the other way when Microsoft pumps money into China. Whatever helps you sleep at night.
