The people speak in the means and ways available to them at any given point in history...

This time around... maybe the revolution will not be televised, but spread virally through the internet...

How do you know that? How do you know what the "information" is? How do you know what standards were used to redact it or filter it or anything?

Answer... you don't. Further, you are not calculating the harms, only what you perceive to be the "benefits" which in itself is highly subjective.

You just know that some shit disturber is thumbing his nose at the man, thats super cool and fuck the consequences.


So today its "freedom of press" to publish every private diplomatic conversation regardless of their content, harming ties between nations, disrupting trade and trade agreements, negotiations, relationships and so on and the fun position is "anything and everything is OK by me" but few seem to grasp the implications of where that thinking leads.

Just don't bitch when your medical records show up on youtube in a fun video about STDs that goes viral. After all, the uploader can just use some simplistic and moronic reasoning like "STD's affect everyone and this is a global concern"

It has been hours now and mastercard is still down.

The argument of whether wikileaks is illegal is a very grey area.

The guy that gave them the information was breaking his contractual obligation to not disclose the information. The information is public domain, simply not released into the public domain until such a date has passed (which is mentioned on all of the cables). Therfore, how can it be illegal to print something that is public domain, but just not released 'officially' yet?

I don't think that the US govt has actually officially acknowledged the authenticity of any wikileaks material... they have forbidden all govt employees from reading the information on wikileaks, but that's about all.

That wouldn't affect your $.

He doesn't receive a tax money.

pretty dumb analogy .... did not realize that the cables were copyrighted....

Tell me about person C ...

Yeah but if Person A steals something that was Person Cs and gives it to B to give to C is it wrong?

Police do that all the time when they recover stolen stuff. These documents belong to the people of the United States of America, they are not copyrighted and they are funded by the people. This isn't porn movies.

A night with Paris Hilton ....

Please elaborate on that PRECISE case ...

Where do the kids at 4chan discuss about their attacks? What part of the site?

it's funny, i've had the news on the background all morning, and while they keep mentioning anon, they have never once mentioned 4chan lol. okay, time to go snowboarding.

Yeah, they should do something effective. like standing around on a street holding a sign.


Direct Action is the only action pigs understand..

100.........Major shit storms :Graucho

This storm is shit!!!

on CNN

http://money.cnn.com/2010/12/08/news...dex.htm?hpt=T2
but is says the cards are stil working, so no big deal :2 cents:

hook, line, and sinker.

who was talking about copyright , I was talking about legal ownership

so you have this fantasy that top secret documents belong to every single person of the US because you pay "taxes" :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

who is this person C you refer to ?

in this case it was Ben Manning ( person A ) and Wikileaks ( person B ) pretty simple analogy , and pretty much how it went, even though wikileaks does not acknowledge they got it from person A but rather take a stand they dont know where it actually came from

still they knew it was stolen/ illegal information ,

on november 27 US gov declared the whole wikileaks operation illegal :2 cents:

I hope that means I also own the USS Ronald Reagan. Man that would be one hell of a Webmaster party. Everyone is invited. We'll all fly in on fighter jets. Mission accomplished!

Who wants to take bets this entire wikileaks thing including hacks has been setup so they americans can push the internet kill switch on people.

I guess that's kinda similar to charity no?

I mean why take food off of my table to give to someone I don't even know?

Because you feel compassionate about their situation..

Like in a game where the goal is to collect money, does it EVER make sense to.. GIVE IT AWAY? Well... Sometimes.

If some sort of internet doomsday arrives, please remind us of what you posted here. Otherwise, we'll all forget. :upsidedow

not doomsday. just another excuse for more regulation. more control.

they're really gonna be pissed when they see walmart is running homeland security scare tactic videos at their checkout lines. lol.

i can see it now. DDOS on walmarts front doors. 1000's and 1000's of nerds running at the front doors to try and stop walmart shoppers from getting into the stores to shop.

HAHAHA.

Fox news just called it "revenge of the nerds"
That made me chuckle
