I don't remember if I already said this, but the part that worries me
the most is that after one week explaining why (regardless of how
wrong or pointless my _conclusions_ are) your analyses are at least
not complete because copyright is about much more than movies and
albums and , all I get is answers about movies and albums:

But ok, no problem as far as I am concerned. However, just because
something isn't enforceable it doesn't mean it is ALWAYS,
intrinsically wrong. And I am still convinced that ACTA and friends
are really favored by endless discourses of this kind:
