Uhh, the gunboats are on the other side.  In particular, the copyright
distension lobby has the support of the US Government.

The part of our government that is on "our" side is the court system,
not the legislature.  As soon as the legislature gets over its ADD
we'll have some new bad copyright law (twice bad bills have
died when parliament desolved).

Oh, and I'm not really happy with copyright infringement.  I want
reasonable laws that deserve to be obeyed.

The way file sharing is used now is not reasonable in my ethical
world-view.
