ELCE11: Till Jaeger on AVM vs. Cybits

Nobody has forced the US to do anything in a very long time. The US government signed this treaty voluntarily and then implemented it in national law. That's all. You may not like some or all of the requirements of the treaty, I certainly have plenty of problems with it, but to claim the Berne Convention is forcing the hands of the US government is simply incorrect. If the US govt hadn't liked the treaty it wouldn't have signed it. Take it up with your congressman or the local OWS chapter ;)
