It's not a matter of the US. It's global. I'd like to stuff my head in 
the sand and say that it doesn't affect me, as a foreigner, but the 
truth is it does.

And no, that's *not* life. With this kind of mentality the GNU project, 
Linux, the endless stream of Open Source software it inspired and the 
EFF would not even exist, and the world would soon be quite hard to 
live in.

(Unless one assimilates. That's always been the easiest choice.)

be able to put things into perspective. Another keyword is TCPA.
