No, wrong. Everyone who distribute and is infortunate enough to live in
the USofA. European people can, for now.... 

Nothing personal, but I found this totalizing vision of the world
implying that "Forbiden in the USofA = Forbiden for All" quite
fastidious, more so when put forward by non-us people. This vision, when
transposed to the gouvernement level, will bring us in the same hell
where US citizens already are.

Someone proposed a non-us cd. I think this idea could serve two
purposes: first, will avoid non-us citizens and residents be bounded by
a law they are unable (and rightly so) to change. Second, us-citizens
would have to take notice that their law forbids them to do things (like
listen to mp3-encoded music) that other people, elsewhere in the world,
do. Whenever this would push them to change those laws is up to them:
every people should have the laws it choose, but must not impose them to
other peoples.
