forget the concept of democracy, forget our own laws let all just obey americas laws.

how about you guys respect the laws countries in question rather than expecting them to respect your countries laws.
And you're defending wupload for what reason?

Wupload sells - through Paypal, no less - access to content that's taken from other businesses and uploaded to their servers.

In which democratic country can I invite people to sell multiple copies of the goods they buy from (e.g.) WalMart in my warehouse? Yes, I can buy a Walmart shirt and sell it - no problem. I can't buy a shirt at Walmart, make half a million identical copies, and legally sell them in any democratic country.

I'm going to open a business called WUP Warehouse, and let people sell the stuff they buy - and duplicate - from other companies on my showroom floor. That's called a flea market, btw - and they get busted weekly.

According to you, I should be immune from prosecution as long as I comply with WalMart's written request to remove copies of their products from my shelves.

The real world doesn't work that way - the internet shouldn't, either.
