I just had to laugh at this one, hope you enjoy it too!!!

WHOOP WHOOP, God Bless The Times (UK) Readers

Last week the UK approved the extradition request of America of Richard O’Dwyer to the US.
The 23-year-old student and ex-administrator of the video linking website TVShack had never visited the U.S.States. But, he now risks spending several years in jail there.

In a response to that decision, The Times of Great Britain reader, Yanka Gavin, wrote an interesting letter to the Editor (Yanka is a retired publishing Editor), and I just had to share it with you guys.........

Sir, The Government has authorised the extradition to the US of someone who has allegedly incited infringement of copyright (report, Mar 14).

What a shame there was no copyright law when the Americans published the works of Sir Walter Scott Wordsworth, Charles ****ens and others without remunerating the authors. Scott would not have died in poverty had he received royalties.

Now the British are expected to apologise for deeds committed by their ancestors, should we not expect a similar aplology by Americans on behalf Of its 19th century publishers? It would be fitting memorial for ****ens, who fought so hard for copyright to become law in the US. It did not happen until more than 20 years after his death

Excellent, maybe all those being extradicted and prosecuted by the US, could offer that as a defence. :))

What do you guys think?

They dont give a fuck about US laws ; )
 
lmfao.

You can't say stupid things like that. You are arguing that people freely used material before the law was passed. Well duh. That's why the law was passed.
