An "illegal" Mexican immigrant, Adriana Torres-Flores, whose children were born in the U.S., spent several days in an Arkansas jail without food, water and a bathroom, and with a shoe for a pillow. The bailiff forgot about her over the weekend.
Her crime? Selling her own property in the form of "pirated" DVDs and CDs.

One of the untold (or too little told) stories about the monopoly formerly known as intellectual property is the assault on liberty (or "civil liberties," for those who think that liberty comes from or is guaranteed by the State) that comes with it.

antidote.
It's not subtitled "The Libertarian Manifesto" for nothing.
It is really a shame that they ruined that book by putting such a dorky picture on the cover. The Libertarian Movement needs someone with some real balls, like Henry Rollins.
