DBC defeated, no further action

RE: DBC defeated, no further action
Well if you mean ignore their copyrights, which is probably what you mean, that actually already happened as a result of an international dispute between the United States and Antigua, which resulted in the latter gaining the right to ignore IPs owned by Americans as compensation for the USA illegally shutting down their online gambling services. This was a decision handed down by the WTO in 2007 and determined that until the USA lifts their illegal blockade on Antigua's online gambling services, they can recoup damages by exploiting USA-held IP to the value of $21 million per year. In 2013 the WTO approved the proposal of a government-operated piracy site to be opened by the country. The USA currently owes over $200 million to Antigua as a result of this dispute (21 million a year since 2005), and no government-run piracy site has surfaced just yet. But they have every right to launch one whenever they want and there's nothing the USA can do about it since the WTO has already approved it.

Just think, a few months from now we'll potentially see a .gov.ag website legally offering unrestricted access to anything copyrighted in the United States to anyone anywhere in the world, and it'll be completely legal.

The WIN/Gallup End of Year Survey 2013 found the US was perceived to be the greatest threat to world peace by a huge margin, with 24% of respondents fearful of the US followed by: 8% for Pakistan, and 6% for China. This was followed by 5% each for: Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, North Korea. -LINK


"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
