In response to Christof and Rick, simultaneously:

All things considered, I am not sure that there is a "right context"
or "acceptable context" for which there to be expressed an opinion
against American mistakes. Especially not, when as Rick states, we are
basically attacking the very economical system of the state we are
addressing.

I am confident that no one in the Pirate movement harbours resent, but
to avoid the skilled word twistery of those that would argue
intellectual property is indeed legitimate, I find it the best course
of action not to mention it at all.

This may shine further light on my concerns.
