The freedom to criticize officials is threatened in some countries in South America.

Sad to say, unauthorized sharing is not destroying the copyright industry.

These companies lobby for nasty laws, while paying a pittance to the artists (aside from a few stars). I hope we do away with them. Meanwhile, I've proposed new systems for supporting artists better than the current system does.

The tyrannical government of Sudan is buying up all the newspapers so as to control them.

A foreign student in Florida faces prosecution for running onto a soccer field to embrace the victorious player he admires. He could be kicked out of school and deported.

The player begged the prosecutor to drop the charges, but the prosecutor does not care. He has an opportunity to ruin someone's life, legally, and he's not going to let it go to waste.

However, this power-tripping prosecutor (remember Aaron Swartz?) is only the trigger for a much larger standing injustice: that many systems are designed to further and permanently punish anyone who has ever been convicted of any crime.

Jailing people for sharing has not boosted music sales in Japan.

Even if it had done so, that would not justify it. Sharing is good, and sharing is our right; if the copyright industry tries to deny this right, we must crush it so it can no longer threaten us. However, the fact that this did not achieve its supposed goal might be useful in convincing politicians that care more about the copyright industry's money than about people.

On the other hand, they might instead try executing anyone that shares.
