| Message | While supporting freedom, we mus oppose this bill as it would allow the hard work put into software to be pirated at will. |

| Message | We recognize that ending software patent might be too radical so we're willing to let it go. Article 1, however, seems reasonable. It would facilitate greater freedom in sharing information, but it would still give creators some control over copying and thus for a limited but reasonable time they would have power over their invention. It should also give people more freedom to honestly criticize or comment on original works without the creator having to allow them. |

| Random fact: In Culturally Protected nations, special care must be taken to ensure realism is maintained when role-playing a government controlled by an ethnic and/or religious minority. If it is to be supposed that this government is supported by a majority of the population, then this should be plausibly and sufficiently role-played. The burden of proof is on the player or players role-playing such a regime to demonstrate that it is being done realistically |
