Quelle surprise

Silvery Aluminium Things Inc reserves exclusive right to assemble its overpriced consumer-unfriendly crap.

As usual

The predicable tirade against the DoJ, MPAA, RIAA, etc. etc. just goes on and on whenever an item comes up involving piracy.

I particularly love the disingenuous faux-ignorance as to the extent to which Megaupload (and others) host pirated material.

Then there is the analogy drawn between recording some film on TV onto VHS tape and hosting pirated material on MU.

Except, DUH, you didn't go around with a portable VHS tape-to-tape into people's houses along with your VHS collection, offering to make copies available to anyone who wanted one.

Or did you? Judging by your cavalier attitude to rights, maybe you did.

Meh

Wow, what a shameless bunch of ad hominems

Can anybody be bothered to make an informed case against these Acts?

No, thought not. It's far easier sport to attack Murdoch instead.
