and "devaluing the American way of life", then I can't even imagine what Andrew Burt thinks of uploaders and pirates.
Mr. Burt, you say the "Constitution is the blueprint that defines who and what we are as a country." Then tell me why do you associate yourself with the MPAA, who lobbies to take away what the Copyright clause has granted.

I mean based on what you state above, it would seem to be a valid extension of your argument.
