"Meanwhile, both Spain and Canada -- who passed legislation very much
at the behest of American interests -- were removed from the evil part
of the list and switched to "in transition." The message is not
particularly subtle: do not, at any cost, question Hollywood's planned
copyright laws, or the US government will shame you as a haven for
pirates, no matter how bogus that claim really is. Hopefully
governments in Switzerland and Italy resist such obvious lobbying on
behalf of special interests and pay attention to reality in those
markets."
