Think again. They are pushing laws outside of the US...don't you read
anything? Instead of posting stupid comments try something new. READ
SOMETHING. Then you might actually possess enough knowledge to actually
have and intelligent conversation....

Since you snipped the content, yes. I do agree that simply posting a url
without telling people what is in it and why they should read it is very
bad internet ettiquette.
And yes, sometimes discussions go on that are parochial. Sometimes they are
parochial to Europe, sometimes the USA, occasionally even Canada.

Which was why a Russian programmer, who wrote his software in Russia, was
arrested when he visited the USA for violating the DMCA, and spent a few
weeks in jail.

Really, they are pushing the laws overseas. In Canada, EU, everywhere. I
think it is naive to say "It is only in the US, we do not have to worry".
The point is this is a group that has very deep pockets and will use their
resources to push their agenda....

....sometimes I do post a link without much verbage. However, I describe it
well in the subject. I have before typed some text and included the link
but, I found that sometimes people would post a comment WITHOUT even
reading the article. I found this most insulting. Not only did they comment
without reading it but, I wasted time talking about the article with
someone who did not even read it. So now, I include a nice description in
the subject...
