"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that books are knowledge and that knowledge is forever free".

Well, no, books are not knowledge. Sometimes they contain knowledge. But books are a technology.

I am totally opposed to:
1. DMR on books.

As currently implemented, I'd agree.

2. Geographic limits on sales of ereaders.
3. Geographic limits on purchase of ebooks.

Can't say that I disagree with this.

4. Americo-centrism as the defining basis of the availability of literature.

I'm not sure what this means. It strikes me that "Americo-centrism" might be in the mind of the beholder.

5. Making criminals of those who download/possess/read ebooks which are not in the Public Domain.

Depends on whether they paid for the books.

6. Unreal copyright laws.

Probably better to say "out of date copyright laws."

This means that I support:
7. Software that cracks/strips DRM.

See 1. above.

8. Free distribution of any book which is electronic format.

Hmmm. Not much of a business plan there.

9. Access for all ereaders and ebooks without geographical limitation.

Absolutely agree.

10. "Warez" or "pirate sites” that make ebooks available to all – books for every person in every country for free.

See 8 above.

Is anyone else on board?

Nah. If I'm going to ignore reality, I prefer to use a martini.
