Thank Mr Blair for signing the most one sided treaty in history, not including those of a defeated country, although that's moot.....

This means if a modder makes a Grumman aircraft model for CloD one day and it is used on a server located in the USA or published on a US website, he can be extradited to the USA for prosecution.

Does EU have the same agreement?

No, only Britain, they weren't as far up George's arse as Tony was. To be fair, neither was George's underpants.

I think most of the British foreign policy with Bush and Blair went like this (@ 1.38 )

embarrassing. The current dirtbags in Government said they'd remove this awful 'deal' if elected but have avoided it completely. It disgusts me.

"Immediately following Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s (D-NV) decision to postpone a full vote on the “PROTECT IP Act” (PIPA), which was originally scheduled for Tuesday, Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX), chief sponsor of the “Stop Online Piracy Act” (SOPA), has announced that he will delay further consideration of the contentious anti-piracy bill in the House “until there is wider agreement on a solution.”"

SOPA/PIPA is stopped...

“I have heard from the critics and I take seriously their concerns regarding proposed legislation to address the problem of online piracy,” said Smith in a statement. “It is clear that we need to revisit the approach on how best to address the problem of foreign thieves that steal and sell American inventions and products.”

...for now.

You know what, I could go on, anyone could, it's easy. Suffice it to say we're dealing with huge hypocracy and lies. Technically Sony are Japanese of course, but they are Global and make most of their money in the USA and Europe anyway.

I think it may be fair to say... Politicians aren't listening anywhere.

The last bastion of communication ( and the best) is the internet.

This above all must be preserved as is.

Anyone with the skill to build websites and share on the internet should consider carefully how they can be more involved. We need proactive people willing to do more to stop governments from reverting us to who knows what.

The people of the world must be united, not as special interest groups, but as the majority. The quiet ones of the majority must be enjoined to prevent governments from turning us all into worker ants.
