All Netizens Are Criminals
from the all-they-want-to-do-is-take-take-take dept
An article over at the Register which would be amusing if it wasn't so sad, about Jack Valenti's latest testimony in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee. He makes it sound as if everyone on the internet is simply out to get the entertainment industry, and in doing so, bringing the entire American economy to a crashing halt (actually, I'm surprised the RIAA hasn't yet tried to blame Napster for the economic slowdown).
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
