  Yeah, if someone breaks the copyright law of the USA, they will simply
demand the hosting country to extradit that person so that he can be put
in jail in the US. By using an international agreement created to fight
terrorism.

  OTOH, "terrorism" nowadays means "everything we don't like".

Careful, with an attitude like that you could get extradited to the US. 
Oops! I forgot. You already did. :-P

It seems to me that some people would rather use the law and a big stick 
rather than do a proper job on their security.
First the war on drugs then the war on terrorism closely followed by the 
war on sharing. What next, the war on not having the same opinion?

Yep ... afraid that while I was away much has changed. Kind of like a 
train wreck in slow motion, but I have to keep the faith and hope that 
cooler heads will eventually prevail.

  The war on internet and, ultimately, the war on free speech.

  Free speech has this nasty side-effect that it allows people to express
the wrong opinions. That's not good nor PC.
