Confiscates intellectual property of American citizens? Can you mention just one example of what has been confiscated? I don't think that anything has been confiscated or will be confiscated.

If everything made with a brain would be a property, HTML would be owned by Europeans, since we invented the stuff. Ever thought about that?

If you think USA invented everything, here are a few things made by europeans: HTTP, HTML, WML/WAP, Bluetooth (named after a Danish King), GSM (worlds largest system for cellular phones), ISDN (worlds largest system for digital telephony), Pascal, C++ (Danish guy), Linux, Compact Disc (together with japanese Sony).
