The problem is that capitalism is going too far and corporation are too big and haver to much power.

We have to wake down some of these monstruous business that are corrupting our governenement.

But At least in the US we have the constitution as a guide and any constitutional violation such as the DMCA or the patriot act is a dangerous games these parasites are playing because it discredit the law and the governements. We know what’s hapen when authority lost it’s credibility: Insurection.

There are no truly free countries. Corrupt governments pander to big business and force through oppressive legislation.

If you don’t believe me:
(1) The US DMCA.
(2) France enacts laws to arbitrarily disable a individuals network access. This gives them free reign to do whatever they like, including disabling ISP accounts upon request of the entertainment cartels.
(3) UK internet government committee threatens to force ISP copyright enforcement responsibility through legislation. And now that france has done something similar, they will likely follow suit.
(4) Canada is trying to force through a DMCA style law. Though they deny this at every opportunity. As far as the government is concerned, this is a forgone conclusion; Only the wording is left to be resolved.
(5) Swedish government colludes with US and local entertainment cartel representatives / lobbyists to raid and seize the servers of a swedish ISP, which also includes the piratebay’s server. Swedish government / entertainment cartel / WIPO conspiracy exposed by swedish media.

It isn’t a pretty picture for sure. But when viewed as a whole, it’s clear that democratic governments around the world are just as corrupt and self serving as their despotic and dictatorial counterparts in the developing world. You could argue that at least the despots are capable of resisting the influence of the entertainment cartels, unlike the weak democracies.

Surrendering all decision making to one political party with dubious intentions and corporate sponsorship; The fidelity of such a government will always be uncertain.

Creating a new form of government in which citizens participate in decision making is the only recourse for this problem.

I don’t care about Heineken but I find this rather weird for a Country that always brag beeing the country with the most freedom in the world! (Blink! Blnk! Blink!)

In an other world in France what is not allowed is forbiden.

Welcome to France the country were almost every thing is forbiden and illegal!

Good luck to the French with that!

Is it legal to breath at least?

Fortunatly in the US the constitution forbid that and I am happy I am not living in France even with piece of shit of Bush in power!
