What you are forgetting is that the DEA is law it was forced through just before the last election. The act is UNWORKABLE in various parts some back peddling has already occurred.
Ofcom has already said any ISP under 400 thousand is exempt. The UN has said that internet is a human right.
and now Vince cable says that blocking web sites is unworkable. Perhaps he should have said that before the court last week blocked (or have tried too) newzbin2.
it wont work i the same way kicking people off wont work. given a week and any one kicked off will be back on.it is one name one person so someone in the house would put it back.in the same way someone in the company would.though it is a nice idea :)
Seems like the homeland security have no brain between to believe the mafiaas lies on posters.
AMERICANS and Brits wake up smell the coffee you have nothing to lose you have no freedoms left!!!!
I wonder how lon it will take to find a way round this block I notice MAFIAAfire updated when I came on line so maybe they already have.
2nd BT are back in court in october to explain how they intend to do it.
3rd and even more worrying the court said that most infringer's are using streaming and web lockers these days so guess what's next for the block in the UK
i wont reiterate what I said earlier but surely a percentage of sales to authors and artistes music and film would be better than decades long copyright and annoying customers.
It wont stop file sharing but I don't see any law that will but it will allow greater freedom to do what you want with what you buy.
They were not illegal in 1967 it was working for advertising on supplying that was illegal not the ships. which was proved time after time.
and yes the law only applied to the UK (at that time). many people broke the law to keep the stations on air.
Agreed but it was against the spirit of both British and Dutch law to broadcast into the country when the government said no.
It broke monopolies and changed both radio and the music industry. What is happening now is the same it should be changing business models and bringing more choice. It is many artistes now prefer to not use a label but their web site or itunes etc..
we have to get as cleaver.
Just some older record labels want to turn the clock back to pre internet and I believe pre 1964.
you have still not answeared my main point so please answear this question, Is it fair that you, your children and in the case of print your grandchildren should be able to not do a days work because what you wrote / recorded several decades ago. Surely a percentage of sales would be a better fairer system.
As to not breaking the law lets look a here in the UK in 1964
Back in 1964 a young manager had a band he wanted to record. They made a demo and the manager took that demo to every record company in the town all two of them, actually EMI and DECCA there was a third but they only reprinted music tracks from the USA. Yes I am telling a British story. The two companies turned him down so he recorded the band and produced the tracks himself. So now he had a band and a record company. The next step was to get the music played on the radio. The BBC said we don’t play that kind of music. Radio Luxembourg (the only commercial station) just laughed and said look at the schedule. Which went something like Decca show EMI show. So our young manager decided I have a record label a artist and hundreds of records to sell and no radio station will play them only thing to do now is start my own radio station. He did the artist was Georgie Fame the manager was Ronan O'Reilly the radio station was Radio Caroline. Broadcasting from a ship at sea outside the government control outside the reach of record companies trying to get copyright.
Because of this piece of history the near monopoly of two record companies was smashed. Many different labels emerged some failed some still going. Because of this piece of history Britain has hundreds of radio stations. All this is true Do you really want to return to the days pre 1964 because in my opinion we will if the likes of the RIAA / MPAA get their way with copyright law.
