Americans and Canadians believe in and rely on legal processes.

Yeah, a true legal system's due processes. Hmm.

So governments which employ or utilize extralegal means are not to be trusted.

Webcasts consume almost all the bandwidth of the worldwide internet.

The worst spots of internet traffic jam must be coffee shops and tech meeting rooms. Well, your home network is your oasis.
