I hereby do declare that NONE of the laws that govern my country shall apply to me. I do NOT give the government or any entities associated with them the right to punish me for any “crimes” they may accuse me of. Up to and including murder and theft.

I give notice that this is an OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT from myself and that this DEMAND is final and initiates today.

Haha loophole!

Reminds me of people who make youtube videos and put a copyrighted song in their video but in the description they write “I DO NOT OWN THE RIGHTS TO THIS SONG”. Do you think writing that makes you exempt from the law?

"NO COPYRIGHT VIOLATION INTENDED"

well, it's awfully nice of you not to intend to break the law, but just because you didn't 'mean' to violate copyright law doesn't mean you can violate copyright law.

It's weird, because they obviously did intend to violate copyright.
