What if the People's Republic of Kraplakistan made a law that all of its 
citizens were due royalties whenever someone distributed a work for which
they held copyright, regardless of the license under which the works were 
released?  What if the law went on to declare that Kraplakistan courts
were granted jurisdiction over all distribution of such works?

Would you advocate making all copyrighted work non-free, or would you advocate
that we simply stop distributing material copyrighted by citizens of
Kraplakistan?
