Backlash Builds Against US Copyright Blacklist
An anonymous reader writes "The release last week of the US copyright blacklist is beginning to generate a backlash in countries around the world. Reports from Canada, Europe, and Asia all note that the US claims are very suspect and that the report is little more than an attempt to bully dozens of countries into following the US DMCA model."
Sounds fantastic! Culture should stagnate and die just because leeches don't compensate the artists for their work!

Riiiight because the Japanese were completely innocent. Not. They started a war against a peaceful nation killing hundreds of Hawaiian civilians, invaded mainland China, killed thousands of villagers even after they surrendered, raped children for their sexual perversions, repeated the same thing in Vietnam and the Philippines, forced the prisoners to march dozens of miles without food or water until they died, threw them into camps and left them to die, and on and on and on.
You're right. Instead of trying to win the war, we should have given the Japanese a great big hug. And then sent them American children, so they could rape them they same way the raped the Chinese children. (rolls eyes) It's a war. They started it. We finished it. It's a horrible mess, but we didn't start the fire.
THEY could have avoided being bombed in 1945
by not bombing us in 1941. Simple as that.
They brought it upon themselves, just as surely as
touching a hot stove will burn your hand.
