	The problem is that other countries are next, with similar
	copyright laws.  You can't just flee the US and be safe.

	One other problem is that a "boycott" has to be noticeable,
	if only from a PR standpoint.  Americans have the funny
	tendency to be completely out of touch with the rest of the
	world; Canada could declare war on us and we wouldn't even
	notice.
