[free-sklyarov] The New Constitution

[Jon O .]

The DMCA is derived from the WIPO - World Intellectual Property Organization. 

Someone might want to wite who knows a bit more, but the DMCA was a response 
to rules enacted by the WIPO. This is part of the whole globalization thing
everyone is so pissed about. Look:

http://wipo2.wipo.int/process2/

There's more to it than that.

Check www.anti-dmca.org for more info. All those protesters in Italy were
pissed about something and we are just seeing the first effects here in 
the US. The companies are taking over. Think about it. The Constitution
was written to protect "Individual's Rights" not corporate rights.

Well, the WIPO and the G-8 are doing the equivalent of WRITING A GLOBAL
CONSTITUTION. Think about it. Our forefathers met to write out rules of 
governance. Well THEY ARE DOING THE SAME THING WITHOUT YOUR INPUT.

They are meeting, making rules and now look what happens. The US writes
the DMCA to comply with the WIPO and now we are oppressed.
