Violence is horrible, why not first forbidding violence and gruesome images of people being killed or suffering at the hands of aggressors?. Later we may discuss about the merits of forbidding images of pretty nude people engaging in a pleasurable harmless activity like sex.

For the record, I don't support any kind of censoring. The coment above is just sarcasm.

Thank you for your support. I am bewildered by the amount of people that would rally behind patents and copyrights these days, especially from the USA. It's a case of ultimate hipocrisy, since I bet my savings that they temselves or their immediate friends or family have partaken in copyright infringement at least once, and probably continue doing it today. How many of them have downloaded pirated contents, or listened to MP3 in a Linux system without paying for a codec patent usage license? Maybe the used a DVD from another region and needed to remove region protection on their device?

Technological, scientific and cultural advances are made in incremental steps, we would be back in the stone ages if we had to reinvent everything independently of one another. Controlling innovation and creation in this way to give an unfair advantage to a group is not very different to living in the dark ages.

Government and corporate cheerleaders that will stand in favor of copyrights and patents are being just as immoral as the ones that benefit directly from these monopolies.

Patents and copyrights are immoral and anti-market. They create artificial monopolies, employing force to crush innovation and spread of ideas, culture and technology, victimless non-violent "offenses". From this perspective the words of Horacio sound very much like those of a gangster offering "protection" from themselves in exchange of money. Please reread the summary with this in mind.
