Also, America doesn't rule the world, I found the way that countries around the world extradited their citizens to America disturbing. America is slowly becoming the land of the greedy. Don't get me wrong, I don't have anything against you American's, it your government who are out of order. Passing laws because of lobbyists [Read: people who bribe politicians to get laws passed that benefit them.]

See, i find that offensive, that you call it greedy when the American government tries to protect American artists.

The truth is the vast majority of pirated material (movies, TV shows, Muysic) is American, so what is wrong with the American government trying to protect our own artists??

The more i learn about this, the more i'm thinking maybe the government is actually protecting Americans, and it's just the rest of the world being upset because they want to keep getting American art for FREE.
