Don't misunderstand me: I repeat I am aware of the size and arsenal
-money, human resources, supporting mass media,etc- difference between
us and the pro-copyright lobbies.
The thing is that, coming back to the sporting similes, if that matters
that much, no single small teams would compete in any competitions: only
Argentina, USA, Spain and a 4th one would play basketball championships;
only Brazil, Germany, Italy and a 4th one would play football
championships; etc. ... however, Greece was Euro 2004 football champion
against all odds; it would be seen as an example of hard working making
everyone, at least, able to win at any /arena/ -though being able is not
enough, of course-.
And if anyway you don't give credit to what I say, then try with Rick
Falkvinge's words: "/our enemy has no intellectual capital to bring to
the battle/". Why should be avoid the /language arena/, then?
