No, the Nazis were definitely not Christian. In fact, they put the leaders of all religions in concentration camps. You are probably confused since they pretended to be Christian at first, before they created their own state religion based on nordic mythology.
I'm an agnostic, not a Christian, but I find it annoying when people somehow claim that being anti-semetic is equivalent to being Christian.
I'm sure that the Jewish wealth and control of the banking systems was much more of a reason for their victimization than for Jesus being killed. Technically the Roman soldiers killed him, yet Germany allied with Italy...
Apparently you don't see the value of experience. You also infer that knowing (A, B, C) is distinct from (X, Y, Z). There is a concept called congruence that you don't seem to understand. It might be true that A != X, but it's probably true that A is congruent to X. People without experience think that new-to-them ideas are truly new. People with experience find the commonalities between old and "new" ideas, abstracting out the details.
Or did you ever think that 7 of 9's purpose was not to be a sex toy and it's just _you_geeks_ who think that the only purpose of a beautiful woman is to be a sex toy?
On the surface it may appear that all slashdotters are idiots, but I think some blame must be share with the original post. It spewed alot of red herrings, missing the main point: Writers are creators. There is a case where the creators are not being compensated for their creations. The law will now make it illegal to misappropriate their creations.
Remember, cnet and slashdot are media companies. They are reporting on how media companies have screwed people over. Will they be unbiased? No.
1. If I took a water squirt gun and started squirting you with water, without your permission, in your home, and then you started swollowing the water, without paying me, would you be stealing?
2. The long-term affect of EMR is probably negative, as opposed to positive. We have no recourse from being irradiated, except to attempt to derive pleasure from the radiation, which in this case constitutes watching TV. Personally I'd rather not be irradiated...
3. Information, especially in digital form, has a zero cost to copy, and does not deprive the "owner" of their copy. Companies decide to spend alot of money setting up systems to throw these bits at us. No one forces them to go into the business of copy bits around, they do it of their own volition. This is like selling salt water by the ocean. Except that it's stupider.
4. Who cares? There are important issues and TV is not one of them.

"You eat shit?"

So you won't think I'm crotchety, I'm 22.
Congratulations, America has a higher literacy rate than most underdeveloped nations with out of control birth rates.
Clap, clap, clap...

Several points that haven't been said yet:
