how have we gotten to this point? this might actually be the turn of the tide.. the rhetoric doesn't work anymore, the time honored 'if you repeat something often enough..', doesn't work anymore. controlling mainstream media to spew FUD doesn't work anymore. trolling techdirt doesn't work any more.. sigh, and I come here mostly for the copytard maximalists childish rantings of 'I want a pony!'. and the incomprehensible inability to form realistic (as in based here with us in reality) points of debate.
MAFIAA GDP as of 2010 was the same as the Pet Industry, and Waste Management. Software was 3x the MAFIAA, and Radio and TV were 4x.
as a content creator myself, I write software, and am completely aware of copyright and patents,.. I have quite a few. I changed my business model 12 years ago, I created a physical scarcity and not an artificial one, and I have been making money ever since. So my advice to the MAFIAA is simple; put the crack pipe down, get off the couch, and go get a fscking job.
my solution came to me about 12 years ago. it was not resistance, it was total circumvention, and an absolute refusal to doing this 'how they want'. albeit, they now mislabel this behaviour as 'theft', but, to me, it's more about getting the value out of what I have spent over a lifetime to these leeches.
I am a bonafide file sharing 'pirate'. I have been collecting HDDs and content for those past 12 years. now I have quite the media collection of over 12Tb of 'stuff', and I am quite content to revisit this library and forgo typical mainstream distribution channels, hell, I don't even own a television/cable/dish/streaming device anymore. I use my 52" LCD monitor as a television.
'the more you tighten your grip, the more systems will slip thru your grasp'...
when they stop actually stealing from the public domain, and shorten copywrong to a legitimate time span, I will continue my skullduggery ways as a trade off, and I sleep well at night.
I was gonna say that. oh wait, since copyright is extending to the idea as well as the expression, I can sue you for infringement in Germany and will. /s
how about a graph of how shitty Hollywood movies have become over the past 10 years, with remake after remake after remake that are causing ticket sales to be down significantly, therefore, Hollywood has increased the prices on 3D shitty movies in an effort to make up the difference.
you obviously want to make linking to content, 'infringing', which is not part of copyright. therefore, your post is at least disingenuous, and at most, a flat out FUD. do you really think there are mindless idiots here (sans OOTB) that bother to read your propaganda, much less agree with it?
the reality is that the internet has empowered us to see thru your dis-information and realize what is actually happening. so you say only 10% actually are cognizant of the issues at hand, and that only even a handful of those are against your censorship bill, yet we see post after post of of powerful establishments seeing right thru your attempt to twist wording in SOPA to give you breathing room to allow the courts to define your lack of definitions, which is what you want, a leg up on the technological tidal wave that is defeating your idiocy at every turn.
your only recourse is misdirect, diffuse, name-calling, and FUD, all lack the ability to turn the tide of reality, and people that see the reality.
continue to over-reach, and I will continue to infringe. consider realistic monopolistic regulated capture, and maybe, just maybe we might respect your monopoly.
until then, I have some downloading, and infringing to do...
actually, yes, they will. I noticed you mentioned appeal, did you not notice they got their ass handed to them in the first place? did you also notice that the technology industry could easily buy the RIAA/MPAA about 6x?
when reading OOTB posts, think of a downs syndrome Special Olympic winner accepting his trophy and speaking in drooling, slurred words, it helps me get past his first word or two..
do you realize that trolling here only emphasizes the fact that you are an idiot, and that most ppl here are educated and intelligent, something you are not?
FUD Mike this, and Pirate Mike that, Fat Boy, Couch Potato, bla bla bla.. You are not convincing anyone of anything, other than you are a complete and utter moron.
Go post on RIAA your brain washing rhetoric, oh, that's right, you can't post on RIAA, they don't accept creative thinking..
if the asshats at the MAFIAA had their way, there would be no Intellectual Property in existence that they did not have a copyright on..
to promote the science and arts, my ass, over 300 remakes in the pipes, just because they own the copyrights on the presentation, and they think they own the 'idea'..
like I have said before, if you change art beyond 30%, it's new art, so, removing the unwanted content (read commercials), an hour show becomes a 41 minute show, with ringtone intro, and credits.. that's 24%, so we cut the ringtone and credits and that's 30%, valid for a new copyright, according to their guidelines.
can't wait until United Artists, RIAA, and Warner Bros are alleged 'rogue sites' and taken down for 'theft of US Intellectual Property'...by some kid in his basement in Iceland, let them pass this bill, the internet will bypass the censorship, and only damage legitimate businesses, you (US) let the bankers destroy your economy, why not the internet, technology will only come up with something bigger and better that they cannot legislate away. Rinse, Repeat.
Re: Re: It's true that nothing is /obvious/ to a lawyer or judge.
copyfraud is so obtuse, and complexified, I just don't care anymore, if it's on usenet, it's authorized.
according to copyfraud, if you change the content at least 30%, then it is a new copyrightable object. ripping the unskippable previews, and the commercial bullshit makes it a new object, and copyright of the ripper.
ironically, and probably missed by most copyfrauders is the fact that when we rip your shit, and post, we leave in the initial credits and the post credits, to give you credit. in fact, that's all you need, is the credit, we leave that intact.
pass this bill and a zillion more, I haven't had to change my style of file sharing in 9 years, like the energizer™ bunny, I just keep going and going and going and going and going..
oh, look, Killer Elite in 720p, oh, look, Apollo 18 in R5.. laters...
