As I understand it, the perjury clause refers to the statement of the notifier that they
represent or are truly acting for the rights holder, not that what they claim is true. I
think that only requires a "good faith" belief that the material they wish taken down is
infringing.
What would you do? Keep them in a lab? How would you justify that?
Put them in parliament. They'd fit right in.
OK, a lot of comments from people saying they're not going to the US, and a few comments poking fun at them.
Thing is, I seem to recall reading that foreign tourism in the US has been declining over the last few years. A year or two ago I read that Air New Zealand was planning on flying direct from Auckland to Vancouver, with the stated reason being so people did not have to go through the hassle of US customs and immigration en route!
Make fun of the "I'm not going" comments if you like, but it seems that people really aren't going to the US now.

The father of an ex-girlfriend of mine was deaf due a childhood bout of measles. This was before the measles vaccine was available, of course.
Measles still exists in other parts of the world, what happens if a carrier gets on a plane to the US, and people have stopped vaccinating?
Vaccines have nothing to do with autism. Absolutely nothing. There is absolutely no evidence that vaccines cause autism, and anyone who tells you otherwise is either an idiot or a liar.
