[Wikimedia-l] Study: Nobody cares about your copyright

[Richard Symonds]

FWIW, I'd like to see things being released more freely internationally,
irrespective of copyright. At present, I can either pirate the Colbert
Report, or watch it through a proxy using a US netflix account which I pay
for using a US bank account. It isn't shown anywhere in the UK.
