As the person who first brought Iraq into this thread, I have to say this: If you think I was comparing the US to Iraq then you're mistaken. I was merely pointing out Iraq (semi-jokingly) as an example of a country that would not care about enforcing US laws.

I firmly believe that if justice prevails in the existing DMCA cases you will be shown to be right. I've seen people compare the US to Iraq and I don't buy that.
However until people stop shooting I'd prefer not to be a potential target.
