We are in a complete agreement on this point.

I believe that our discussion of the past abuses of the copyright laws by powerful lobbies with Congress's involvement and express or tacit approval by the courts is on topic. If we swallow this ATCA the way we swallowed the long list of copyright term extensions, then there is no stopping this train in the copyright area or any other area. The U.S. will no longer be governed for the people, by the people (even assuming it still is).
