Not OP, but my country (France) is listed as white and has blocked a bunch of websites, at least for copyright and political reasons.
Submission + - Massachusetts SWAT teams claim they're private corporations, immune to oversight (washingtonpost.com)
thermowax writes: Massachusetts SWAT teams claim they’re private corporations, immune from open records laws. Kind of amusing this is in arch-Liberal Mass, but enough editorializing: I don't even know where to start here. No FOIA demands, no investigations, or reviews... the police state gets more real on a daily basis.
Submission + - Bitcoin Securities Issuer Settles with SEC (thedrinkingrecord.com)
MrBingoBoingo writes: The United States Securities and Exchange Commission has extracted a Settlement from Erik Voorhees that consists of $15,843.98 in profits and a penalty of $35,000 for the high crime of having been involved in financing two offerings with Bitcoin. If you read the Security and Exchange Commission's actual filing you can see that all of the fines and settlements relate to FeedZeBirds with any actions relating to S.DICE on MPEx consisting of a strong finger wag and stern look. With the light assessment in this case, it seems that the SEC's ability to act in mature Bitcoin markets like MPEx may be limited unless they work to build cooperative relationships with those markets.

It's easy to have volume when you're trading two worthless things (mtgoxUSD was known to be worthless for a while, then it appeared mtgoxBTC was going to be too as it was used to get out of it).

If you make a certain number of errors, the account will be locked. So if someone tries to brute-force your account, you have to call the bank to activate it again.
It's probably the least secure website I use.

For the third time.
You do not understand, or do not want to understand, that a world without copyright is not close to a world with copyright + BSD.

Having said that, I appreciate both licenses for their flexibilities, use GPL programs, and have donated to both GPL and BSD projects.
Reading your comments, I don't believe a word of it.
I thought you were retarded, but I now think it is worse, you are just dishonest. There is absolutely no use talking to you.

The BSD license solely exists because of copyright law, too. You are confused about how copyright works, and what the GPL aims for.
