Backlash Builds Against US Copyright Blacklist 292
An anonymous reader writes "The release last week of the US copyright blacklist is beginning to generate a backlash in countries around the world. Reports from Canada, Europe, and Asia all note that the US claims are very suspect and that the report is little more than an attempt to bully dozens of countries into following the US DMCA model."

The USA bully another country? Never..
What will they do if we dont adopt the evil DMCA? Steal our lunch money? With the 10Trillion+ deficit over there you'll need it.

No, the IRS doesn't really collect taxes.
They are a mechanism to put the fear of gawd into people "voluntarily" paying their taxes.
If people do not pay their taxes, they get at least two, but maybe up to four involuntary things:
A) Fine(s) (not voluntary)
B) Interest (not voluntary)
C) If adjudicated, jail (also, not voluntary) and possibly
D) Be appointed as U.S. Secretary of the Treasury (since only one person can serve this post at a time, good luck on getting this option).

Arkell's lawyers wrote a letter in which, unusually, they said: "His attitude to damages will be governed by the nature of your reply". The response consisted, in part, of the following: "[We] would therefore be grateful if you could inform us what his attitude to damages would be, were he to learn that the nature of our reply is as follows: fuck off".
