All of them setup by people who think the way that you do. Mark my words average_joe. You are in the minority on this, and it is only a matter of time before your minoirty is removed from its current seat of power. As younger generations begin to take hold you will see your grip loosen. That is why you and people like you are fighting so hard to get as much control as you can now. You too recognize that your days are numbered.
He is a true believer Chronno. Like the followers of Al Qaeda or someone who dances with snakes. He believes it to be true cause someone told him it is.
I see lots of comments and posts about SOPA dealing with IP theft with a near nuclear approach. That aside I was thinking that could a lawyer for a well funded group(Group A)twist the law in order to use the "Private Right of Action" claim to bring down say.... A gay rights advocacy website (Site A)...
Assume that group A leader did an interview where he spouted his opinions on something. Then site A decided to take that interview and upload it to their site along with their take and commentary. Could Group A use the SOPA to cut off Site A before a judge could rule on fair use?
It may not be pleasant, but.I prescribe this quote
"You want free speech? Let's see you acknowledge a man whose words make your blood boil, who's standing center stage and advocating at the top of his lungs that which you would spend a lifetime opposing at the top of yours. You want to claim this land as the land of the free? Then the symbol of your country can't just be a flag; the symbol also has to be one of its citizens exercising his right to burn that flag in protest. Show me that, defend that, celebrate that in your classrooms. Then, you can stand up and sing about the "land of the free"
They do too. They are the reason that the Wall Street Journal had to institute a paywall. All except for Ars. They are just a bunch of lame ass bloggers who don't report real news.
UMG took down something that it had not right to take down. It has nothing to do with posting to youtube being a "right". The agreement that Google and UMG have is flawed if it allows for that kind of action to take place, and Google should do whatever it can to fix that as soon as possible.
My tie in with the SOPA is that IF these companies already feel that they can remove whatever they want from sites like Youtube whenever they want to, then WHY would we grant them even greater power with that new law? A law that gives them no penalties for abuses like this. Its guilty till proven innocent for who possible infringed. An intern at UMG should not have the authority to say who is and who is not guilty of infringement under the law.
With such a "who gives a shit" attitude when it comes to other peoples videos and copyright, why on earth would we give these people more authority to do this with SOPA. How this does not instantly raise a red flag that says "Wait a second here, perhaps we are being to hasty". Im just dumbfounded by the level of BS in our government and how they feel that anyone who opposes this damned bill has to be a fucking pirate.
I think Lamar Smith has shown the true nature of the entertainment lobby, and the utter corruption that our "leaders" are capable of. This comment is wrong and so has been flagged appropriately. Shit like this only fuels the other sides stupidity.
How does this apply when I go over to a friends house and watch it? I didn't pay for it, my friend did. What if he lefts me borrow the movie and I can watch it at home?
