A large part of the purpose of the laws we have is to prevent precisely what
we are seeing in the US right now, the blatant abuse of civil law and courts to
put on a media circus for the public.

This is why they cannot try their shenanigans up here.

We have paid our copyright levy on tapes, CDs and those little pocket players
and we reserve for our citizens the right to access and copy anything they
want for their own personal use. That the labels can't handle the idea of mere
humans in other countries having rights that override their newly bought
corporate "intellectual property" rights in america is beside the point.
