Indeed! Here, here. Trouble is their law invariably gets enforced
elsewhere due to treaties, alliances, imposed restrictions where charity
is given, and other quasi-legal means. And I don't believe they've even
heard of the bill of human rights, let alone understand and believe in
it.
Yes the reciprocol BS may be a problem, it certainly is in Australia with
regards to copyright and patent laws, however now we have a change in
Govt, maybe they'll recind the FTA, or at least make it more fair for
Australia where the current FTA favours the U.S substantially, but don't
despair, not all of it can be enforced, only some things, the complete US
DCMA (or whatever it is) is not enforcable, only some points are, just like
there would be some points of ours that are not enforcable there, so again
consult your lawyer, there have been several successful legal challenges,
and there will I'm sure be many more :)

I read usenet and lists in pine. But m$ outlook, thunderbird and gmail
often use html span/whatever for quotes, makes it hard to tell who said
what, so I dont try. If I ignore you, thats why! Use a compliant mailer.
