It would be easy for a country to pass a law making programs that can copy other
peoples copyrighted material without their consent illegal, but I don't see why that would
have any effect on programs that can copy other peoples copyrighted material without

In other words shut down the Internet, if the phone company was
responsible for illegal activity over the phone we wouldn't have them either.
