    In the US, a "right" is inalienable, and not generally subject to the spot approval of the current power brokers holding the reins of government. This is one of the huge differences between the US definition of "right" and the EU definition of "right". Not defending Microsoft.... Just keep in mind that this clouds the discussion, as parties in each locale are using the same word to describe a subtly different concept.
    In the US a bunch of power brokers got together 200 years ago and decided what was and wasn't a right. If you got enough of the current power brokers together today they can change those rights. There's nothing inherently inalienable about them, despite the label.
