What about the rest of us who were blessed with not being born in the USA? Should i be worried that some ninja cop will brake in my home and take my pc and sue me for watching youtube? It all sound ridiculous.

Yes, you should worry. Other countries are gutless followers of whatever the US tells them to do. If we make a law over here, you can bet the US will make you pass a similar law.

  Actually they won't make us. Bulgarian politicians are known for being the biggest ass kissers in Europe so we will pass it before the USA just to look obedient. We had some copyright media debates a while ago when the police tried to arrest a few torrent uploaders and there were a lot of protests. A mother on tv said that her 13 year old sun is not a criminal because of the music he "steels" he just likes music and if you get something given to you for free, you don't buy. The result from the whole police action was an embarrassment for the government and a few torrent trackers either moving abroad or shutting down and 99% of the windows copies in Bulgaria are still illegal, and 99% of the music people listen to in their homes is still illegal and i only buy cd's from local bands(directly, that way i know where the money goes)* and i only use open source software(except my non free drivers and my flash plug-in) But im an exception, most people in the world are criminals. *Yes i do own illegal mp3s, about 4000 of them, and about half of those you cant buy in a store(try finding an Argentinian hardcore punk band in a record store) I also have a few CC licensed mp3's but they are very few of those. And i have a handful of local cd's and a tape which i bought directly from the bands or from friends of the bands, and those CD's are limited editions, the bands cant afford more than 200-300 cd's and they resell them by hand. Many of the songs cant be found in the internet too, some fans are realy loyal. Guess when you don't sue them for ripping mp3's sending them to friends, the fans actually respect you. I know a lot of people who buy cd's because they want to help their favorite bands, they go to shows and buy shirts and other merchandise just to support the bands.
