RIAA/MPAA Want Government-Mandated Spyware

I did read it and it is a good read. However, it does not support "the whole of the USA was in fact founded by breaching copyright laws." by any stretch of the imagination.

During the first decades of America’s existence as a nation, private citizens, voluntary associations, and government officials encouraged the smuggling of European inventions and artisans to the New World.

That was in the first decades of the new republic and had nothing, zero, nada, to do with the founding of the republic.

Fair enough everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

We can't get into politics here so I can't comment. And I am most certainly not offended.

I know full well America was engaged in what we term today as industrial esprionage early on. But that was not what the country was founded on and had nothing to do with the Declaration of Independence nor the following war for independence. That was the point I was trying to make.

I did not even visit the facebook link. Facebook is hardly the last, or even the first, word in credible historical research.

Not sure how old you are but this looks like something my 13 year old cousin would post on fb or somthing like that. No offence as i dont know you personally

I think it's his way of showing his ill feeling toward me, for what reason is unclear, but I'm man enough to take it on the chin.

If you do have a problem with me Lee just say mate, don't beat about the bush pal and act a thirteen year old full of spite. Trying to ridicule some one who you don't even know, in a public place, can quite often back fire.

For what it is worth, Lee is well past 13, and while his manner of expression might be better, but one might also say that your post is like the pot calling the kettle black. Aspersions of immaturity and accusations are not really effective means of communication.
