Ohh and if you really think France had a right to sell the Louisiana Purchase I have a bridge for sale near you.

Its still not that way today when corporations attempt to impose their will on consumers.
The answers will be as varied as the people, there is no hard and fast "this narrow path" is right and all else is wrong. Not when the corporations play just as fast and loose with the law as the pirates they fear so much. The only difference is in scale. They amass billions, we just put together a few bits of data in storage.

I don't know though, as much as I enjoy being a data pirate some days. The name just doesn't do it for me. Image just isn't right.

Perhaps a "Conscientious Liberator Of Data" or CLOD for short? Naw, just doesn't have the same ring to it. Almost a contradiction in terms like a "Rational Anarchist"
I too am part Indian, my Grandmother taught at BIA boarding schools and I spent a lot of summer vacations on "the Res.". two really important points to make here. many, if not most tribes are really happy that Columbus wasn't looking for Turkey, and are ecstatic that Japan wasn't expansionist
