Music from Microsoft when they had the store and original DRM. They later shut it down and on newer Windows had no way to restore your DRM keys, so the music was useless/locked. Their support basically said “oh well”. Eventually I got around the DRM by an ancient version of Roxio CD burner, somehow because it came out before MS DRM it just read the track and burned it to CD, there was no DRM checking I guess

First one: situations like the UK that had very good social support (Dole) even if not working, and so everyone flocked there from neighbouring countries in Europe and middle east and abused it. You had rampant fraud. Not every person is a hard working tax payer, some people are opportunists.

Anyway, just so you don’t get the wrong impression, I’m not a believer in the USA removing Birthright citizenship, I’m just arguing the facts about countries choose how their own citizenship works, not some fundamental universal idea. Like there is that human right belief in democracy. But going to North Korea and demanding they be democratic because its your human right to access it is not going to happen.

The first one of course that’s what I meant its determined by the counties laws, no human rights.

The second if you had 100000 show up and not pay tax, you would start changing your mind. The point was the laws for the country you build are established by you, not those arriving

Its not your “home” if the countries laws say it isn’t. Humans rights say people should not be stateless, however it doesn’t mean you auto gain citizenship of the a random country you are born in, same as some don’t get your citizenship of your parents origin. You get one or the other as your citizenship, or apply for it.

As a hyperbolic example: Imagine your get a lottery win, buy yourself and your spouse one of those islands and start your own country, suddenly everyone hears about it and lands boats to have babies there, now they are your citizens and you owe the social services to a 1000 babies as is their right as a human.

Sure like torture, but just being born a human doesn’t give you citizenship in half the world. Countries get to decide who gets citizenship. Laws are how they are.

Like A as a human you have the right not to be killed, but B citizenship (which is belonging to a nation not the world) is granted by that nation.

Like their are stateless people even. They don’t get auto citizenship

Sure like torture, but just being born a human doesn’t give you citizenship in half the world. Countries get to decide who gets citizenship. Laws are how they are.

You would have to cite a source because I don’t see any reference of UDHR and other treaties that declare citizenship in a specific country to be a human right. Just that you have a right to nationality and right to change it. But countries retain sovereign control over how they grant citizenship, within limits set by international law.

As a born human you have a right to take on your parents citizenship or the country you happened to be born in if that is their law, but you don’t get to choose willy nilly it is set by blood right or birth right laws

Sure but half the world isn’t operating that way right now. What the USA is doing is moving to match Europe and eastern countries, it absolutely is for the wrong reasons, but unfortunately within their ability to do so

Rights are bestowed by governments though. We have moved passed roaming the land and setting up a homestead wherever you like, we now have governments that scribe boundaries and zone land, it is no longer “freedom”. If you are worried about citizenship and your parents move it is on them to pursue PR and then citizenship, then the same for their children.

Most of the world is blood right citizenship, you inherit it from your parents. Which is actually helpful if abroad on a trip and you get born you automatically get citizenship of where your parents normally would reside as a citizen, The person you were commenting on is correct, human rights has nothing to do with sovereign nations laws on who becomes a citizen. Its not a right as a human to take on the citizenship based on the continent and boundaries you live in because countries are a construct. Think back to all the border changes in places like prewar Germany. Your border could change, it doesn’t change what country “you belong to”. American having Birthright sort of made sense because it was the " new world " at the time.

By no means do I support what USA admin is doing, they are absolute assholes. But not liking it doesn’t make it a human rights violation

Yep my uncle’s work van in the UK was as small as my Honda Fit. Just two barebones front seats and an empty cargo space.
