I wouldn't get too excited, folks. Puppet Clegg rolled over on the NHS, he rolled over on tuition fees, he rolled over on the Justice and Security legislation. The smart money is on him rolling over on this, too.
Not enough. We need the big hitters (Wikipedia/Facebook/Twitter/Google/Amazon etc) to do the same for a prolonged period. We need to make the protests big, loud and long. We need them to go global.

Your blatant rich envy is so tiresome, you miserable git.
I got news for you. Not all rich people are like that. Some rich people are very philanthropic. Some rich people do a lot of good for their communities.

Copyright, like patents, should be used to protect a person's implementation of an idea, not the idea itself.
I have said it many times but it is still true. The problem comes from seeing movies or songs as a commodity to be bought and sold rather than culture to be enjoyed and shared. Somewhere down the line perception of content has become warped and the original purpose of culture has been forgotten. I am not saying content should be 'free as in free beer' but it should be 'free as in freedom'.

Not all terrorists are Muslim, people. Just like not all Muslims are terrorists. Just a small minority.
