Obviously anyone here understands that the Protect Act has NOTHING to do with the stupidity that the RIAA is spewing. But let me restate it for those that don't understand. They are using recent events as a False Flag-like excuse. https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/False_flag [wikimedia.org] I am not claiming in any way, shape or form that they are responsible for said events. Merely that they are taking advantage of them in this way.

With IP to extort reduced tax rates and other concession, you just shift the country of ownership of the IP, takes a quick pen stroke and it's done and your tax base is screwed.
exactly... look at how Microsoft hides [finfacts.ie] their IP in Ireland to minimise their tax bill [finfacts.ie]... but uses US patent law to enforce it...
