auch das noch?

Mit welchem legalen Mittel will diese MPAA denn dann gegen eine
Website, sagen wir in Holland vorgehen, außer dem der illegalen
Nötigung/Erpressung seines ISP's?

Aus solchen Selbstverstanednis (Monopolartiges Gebaren und
Allmachtsanspruch über die Länder der Welt, siehe auch das Vorgehen
gegen MP3) folgt eigentlich nur, daß diese Industrie
gebändigt/zerschlagen gehört.
