The USA is looking like a dangerous place to me, because I'm not a blonde headed blue eyed football star turned fbi.

If you post any discussion that violates the dmca or that could aid a 'cyberterrorist', even in a non-USA forum, but it travels through a USA network, you could be held liable???

Are we in the midst of a war against open information as well?

I imagine that yes, that indeed would please the big corporations you mention, since the ones involved (aol, Time Warner, M$)well, sell media that no one really NEEDS anyway. I'm sure open source scares the hell out of them, or at least annoys them, and they will use whatever screwed up laws they have lobbied for to their advantage. That's why they lobby- to whore our government. The USA will find a way to police the Internet, AND the corporations will discredit open source, you wait and see.

America has already quit being America to me. I just don't know how to deal with that fact.
