Don't worry, this time it's the Social Democrats who ban books, it's _totally_ different.

Most western countries who care about IP have banned piracy. I'm not anti piracy but it's silly to compare.

Back in the day it was US media companies which started the big war against piracy and for the use of DRM. It was pushed by US media companies and the US government upon Europe. Same as with software patents. It's weird that now US companies complain about local media rights holders doing their censorship thing when the whole thing was started by the US.

I'm not sure, does US not block websites by DNS? Wrt Anna's Archive they've gone as far as revoking its main domain

		US owns the registrars, they just deregister domains they don't like and show some sort of FBI logo instead.

I demand the RIGHT to get media for free without paying for it! And I equate this with a ban on literature!

Politics isn't the exclusive hobby of the united states.

And by the way, in the same wikipedia link you posted, there's documentation of Democrats also banning books.

That's privilege. They're not available at the library at the learning centers.
