Its very interesting to me that someone from a New Zealand domain is so concerned about American politics. Its doubly interesting when that person claims that without US IP law (blah blah I just don't feel like typing it all out everytime), American entities cannot compete in the "free market".
What kind of absurdity is this? Seriously. The parent brings up a point that a corporation in the US (stereotypically portrayed as a nation where you can make assloads of money if you just work hard enough) goes crying to Congress because some other people somewhere else are beating the tar out of it. You are aware of the irony of the stated situation, are you not?
In summary, if other entities cannot compete with American entities, maybe those peoples should be looking within instead of without for reasons and solutions rather than attacking a system that actually gets results.
Hmm, right. Let's switch A for B for a second...

Sorta sounds like SCO's problem with Open Source... just a little. Maybe. Don't you think?
So basically the parent is arguing realistically using logic, and all you've got to rebut him is his four-dimensional coordinates in the spacetime continuum? Where I'm from, that's called attacking the messenger and not the message.
Pfeh.
Oh, just FYI, I'm an American citizen living in Los Angeles, California... so you're going to have to find some other false pretense to 'argue' against my post, if you so choose.
