I'm not sure either. We will see how it plays out. The problem is that people
need to start thinking in term of the source. 

Who made this law? The US. 
Why? The WIPO.
And the WIPO and WTO are buddies. 

Think about the meetings. All these leaders. What do you think they are thinking?
They are thinking this WTO thing makes them like Rutledge, Franklin, etc.
This is a congressman's, house reps, presidents wet dream. 

They are establishing new rules. They should be on our side NOT THE CORPORATIONS.
