Heh, if I have the money and time I'd like to travel to any country, really, no matter how unfriendly... as long as I'm not being shot at
. Visiting different cultures and areas is one of the most amazing experiences.

That seems very unusual to me; they won without a trial? If a mass shooter that people openly saw commit the act gets a trial, why doesn't a copyright infringement case? Is this more common than I'm aware of? Seems like cronyism at its finest.
