Kind of "evidence" Stalin's or Putin's court would use. To me it seems as the only connection to the US is that someone in the US does not like this. Human rights is a myth even in good old Europe. Ahh... This world is doomed. Orwell's "1984" slowly comes true. Those who print money order the music

BTW, from here it seems that Germany or France are much more independent from the US, at least it was obvious in Tony Blair's time.

Tony Blair was a U.S. puppet. Great movie about it: The Ghost Writer. Germany did not have full sovereignty from the end of WW2 and until today, a document affirming a condition called "German Chancellor Act"

The motivation is simple ...

" We here in Hollywood lack the imagination to create anything other than reruns sold the way we have always sold them and we also lack the motivation to provide any sort of service or value added features to attract people to genuine products. How can we continue to fleece people ? .. i know lets call a congressman and legislate it to be so ... "

The option is to manufacture a quality product and base the price on the reliability and the support (that needs to be) available. CH Products are a good example of American build quality - conventional but sturdy - their controllers have the reputation of lasting a decade or longer. If something goes wrong they will fix it, and the software writer can be contacted any day on the users' website. They don't really do meaningless bells and whistles...but most users don't need that.

The problem is more about weaning your children away from the boredom/ gratification/ boredom cycle that has taken over from society.
