Breaking News: Copyright Filters bites the hand that feeds.
I had a feeing that the Copyright Filters that many companies lobbied for was gonna come back to haunt them. Their own workers get copyright-strikes, and I’m sure that one by one they’re going to regret their decision as their companies’ channels get taken down because of their own abomination.
Geez! That’s a tongue twister of a title, Mr. Masnick. And I thought that “How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood” was hard to say 20 times fast!

morganwick, what type of documentaries have you been watching? Star Wars? (That’s not a documentary by the way).
And I’m not trying to make up a conspiracy theory. I’m just stating my own personal theory using critical thinking, based off of past events and knowing that at times these events can connect in a particular way. And the image after building this giant puzzle-piece of a conundrum is more than unsettling. It’s a grim one.
While I know I’m probably not going to be entirely correct (most likely), it is always a good idea to look at a situation from every side (because there’s not just two sides to every situation) and understand that there may be Rival Causes to this scenario.

I also had other theories as to why this all is happening (in case my WW3 theory didn’t nail properly)
Some of them include:
-prevention of the illegal leaking of government documents
-most of the money goes to online stores, which is why many physical stores are going bankrupt, so they’re maybe trying to bring physical businesses back
-outright corruption because of their lust for power and authority
-Preventing the discovery of secret projects and tests that the governments are performing behind our back
Or to put it bluntly:
-They got no common sense
But hey, I’m always up for interpretation. Not looking for fights, but I was just providing my input.
Actually I’m not a Brexiter. I’m an American residing in Pennsylvania.
But it’s not WHO these government officials are that you should be taking note. It’s about HOW these governments performed their dastardly acts that should concern you. Though they represent two different types of governments, the EU and the FCC both ignored thousands upon thousands cries in order to “close” the internet up.
It’s almost similar, but similar enough to not be a coincidence.
Re: Re: The EU ends The Open Internet, but for a Deeper Reason?
There have been articles about these despicable acts on Techdirt. I would advise looking them up. Thailand is currently attempting to make the internet worse by increasing “Cyber Security” which basically will cage the internet by destroying the freedom of data privacy. This means that the government would be allowed to search every computer without a warrant, and thus compromizes our personal data and privacy.
Japan attempted to alter its own Copyright Laws earlier this month (which in a way reflects what Article 13 and 11 would do). However, they held off because they were concerned about free speech. But that doesn’t mean Japan’s safe from being censored by their own governments. It’s only a temporary, yet not-so-safe safe haven, for now.
Don’t you see the crisis our world is devolving into. There is no doubt the distinct possibility that we are heading into World War III, and our governments don’t want us to know about it.
The EU ends The Open Internet, but for a Deeper Reason?
It saddens me that the EU managed to pass this directive despite millions of opposition. This affects not just the EU, hut the rest of the world as well. Even in countries like the U.S.A, China, Russia, Japan, Kuwait, and especially every country in every continent. But I have a theory as to why our governments are trying to end the open internet, and it’s a very deep and tragic theory. Feel free to reply and share your thoughts. This is only a theory, but here we go:
Back in 2017, Donald Trump placed Ajit Pai as the Chair of the FCC, and he eventually repealed Net Neutrality despite millions of opposition. Net Neutrality prevents our internet turning into a high price TV-Cable system. Trump even wanted to close the open internet, even stating this during his campaign (look it up). Ajit Pai’s determination and ignorance sparked a bad influence and presented a terrible attitude model for future governments to follow.
Now keep in mind that at the same time we were fighting ISIS and trying to keep North Korea from nuking us.
The European Union also added to the destruction of the internet by passing a heavily flawed directive that basically (in a nutshell) says: “If it’s content, then it’s illegal to put online”.
Thailand has also started their spiel with making the internet worse, and Japan also attempted to do the same (though they were smart in holding it off)
Now, there have been threats concerning the possibility that out world leaders have been secretly given the power to ban the internet (possibly even if it wasn’t a national emergency)
With all of the attacks that have been occuring, it is possible that our governments are planning World War III behind our backs, and they want to keep us off the internet so that we don’t find out about it. They could be planning a nuclear war that threatens the existence of mankind, and it sure sounds like this is what’s going on. They want to keep us from the truth, and they’re using dirty tactics to do so. We all remember how the EU tried to rush the vote two weeks early.
I could be entirely wrong, but it sure sounds like we’re in for a war bigger than World War II, and a decimation unlike any other. Let me know what you think. I’m open for debate.
Have u seen what happened with the FCC and Net Neutrality? They repealed Net Neutrality despite millions of protests against the repeal. Ajit Pai didn’t even listen to the public and he only believed anyone who agreed with Pai’s views (thanks to the ISPs begging for more money). Now, the EU is mere moments from voting on the new Copyright Directive, and they’re probably going to pass it despite all of us telling them not too. Despite millions of pressure from around the world, the EU will more than likely pass it, even if the MEPs pledge to vote against it (which I said before they likely pledged just so that they can try to shut the people up, even with the continuous pressure).
And if it does indeed pass, the rest of us outside the EU will be affected alongside the EU member states. USA, Brazil, Japan, China, Russia, Kuwait, Mexico, Canada, and every single country will be affected, because once it passes, the censorship spreada rapidly like a virus. It would be brought from coast to coast, from river to river, from island to island. And it’s all because the big media companies want even more money.
And this week will be the deciding week. And it seems as though it will pass. I don’t want it to pass at all, but clearly the governments all over the world don’t care. Thailand is also trying to do a similar task in their country, and Japan also had an idea as well.
It’s all luck based, and the odds are not in our favor. We better step up our game if we want the EU to reject Article 13 and the entire Copyright Directive.
Actually, A.C., I was referencing the song “Old McDonald Had a Farm”.
The pigs refer to the corrupt bastards that are the European Union members and the greedy companies that are trying to screw millions of people from the around the world (not just within Europe)
It seems to me that they only are saying they’ll back out just to get its people off their backs, and then they’d secretly vote for the Directive. Same with many other MEPs. When they pledged to vote against the Directive, they probably only pledged it just to get their people to shut up, and then they turn around and vote for the Directive.
(Note: these aren’t based off of facts. This comment is only based on a rough prediction based on past corruption within the EU)

Oh the corruption the EU is. They never listen to us even when we speak the truth. This whole lobbying will backfire on them, and they don’t want to stop it because they’re greedy pigs! If Old McDonald had these pigs on HIS farm, we’re having rosted ham tonight!
With all of this lobbying despite millions of opposition, the “Axel” on the Common Sense wagon is coming loose. Perhaps we need to get a better car than this, this... whatever the heck our wagon turnes into.
It seems the Japanese Government has more common sense than the European Union, which has none. Don’t let new Copyright laws threaten your freedom of self expression or freedom of speech.

It would set a bad precedent and cause other countries to do the same thing (screwing millions of people over just because a bunch of big media companies are big cry babies because they want to be greedy) and thus we end up in a bad time.

“The difference between Ajit Pai and MEPs is that Ajit Pai is not an elected official”
Ajit Pai was put in as Chair of the FCC by Donald Trump.
Whatever difference you’re saying is very slim to none.
