...welfare net and creating a leaner government, but that is what conservative governments--anywhere--tend to do. The concentration camp in Mauthausen is not going to be activated again, Hitler will not receive a memorial in Vienna, nor will any government agency order to burn books or censor teaching material describing the atrocities of the Holocaust. Politicians like Haider should not be allowed to govern an idyllic country in the heart of Europe, but this is for the people to decide, not for foreign governments with good intentions who end up worsening the situation even more...
...they were when they got their wealth. The Winklers in this film are basically decent people. When they make their money, it really doesn't change them.

So may a court in Iraq or Cuba tell U.S. citizens in the U.S. what they can and cannot read? Of course not. But a U.S. court...
...those corporations have made themselves infamous throughout the Internet for prosecuting and harassing children? Private censorship through the intellectual property system is disgusting, but when practiced against one's own present and future customers it is also foolish. Perhaps mobilized consumers, boycotting products made by companies that sue to censor young people, will help those companies learn the error of their ways...
