    When the US was a new country, one of the first things it did was stop respecting copyrights on British books.

    For a full century between 1790 and 1891 the only copyrights that applied in the US were ones by authors who were residents or citizens of the USA.

    I think it makes perfect sense to protest the USA by refusing to honour US copyrights.
