at least we still have a couple more rights than you do, especially when it comes to copyright. isn't that weird? most europe legislative history sees copyright as a "natural right", while the US does not. yet you have more and worse restrictions on it. examples: where I live, making a copy for a friend is LEGAL. also, pseudo-copies, such as installing a software to your harddisk or "copying" it to the memory in order to execute it do not require any specific allowance, i.e. you don't have to sign away your rights and your firstborn son on some stupid "license agreement". decss is unchallenged over here, and is considered perfectly legal by every legal expert who's opinion was published somewhere where I've seen it. there's good and bad points everywhere. uninformed comments like yours above just reveal a prejudice.
