When a US court/US lawyer system controls a non-US law enforcement agency, One World Government has arrived, and Pat Buchanan was right all along. The response of non-lawyer US and non-US citizens must and will become darwinian, not legal. Smart kids who do that harmless;-) stuff which Adults disapprove learn to do that stuff more carefully next time. The idea is not to get caught. So the US lawyers order the global stormtroopers to control our use of OUR technology? Okay, we will e-mail our post-DeCSS discoveries as PGP-encrypted files to webservers located in more enlightened nations. This would give impoverished and otherwise "backward" nations like Iran, Iraq, Cuba, Syria, etc. an incentive to join the Internet because the Internet demands freedom and its users will pay for that freedom, if necessary. Of course these are crap countries run by blood-thirsty tyrants - I'm sure glad I don't live in one of them - but the RIAA proved that we in the "free world" live in countries controlled by blood-thirsty tyrants called lawyers. If Kim Jong Il, for example, had any brains, he would open up North Korea as a safe haven for unrestricted, uncontrolled webserver siting - and rake off license fees or bit-taxes or something => Pyongyang - Asia's Redmond.;-) Maybe Malta or Cyprus would jump first. The bad part is that child pornography would benefit also - and I honestly don't have an answer to that one. But I just know that some slashdotter would.
