The fact you misunderstood this shows the weakness of this form of discourse, a simple phone conversation would have made everything plain. Old technology . The printing press, twitter etc are important tools, but what changes the world are ideas not the means of delivering them. The failure of the people in the most advanced countries to make any political change shows that it is not the technology. Egypt has had change because its pro western government was unpopular, the small educated elite now find that twitter will not help them with the Muslim Brotherhood. The Brotherhood with its organization based on a party and books reaches all the population. As I said if you look at "Sullivan Travels " it will show you the relationship between political movies and entertainment. After making musicals Sullivan wants the studio to let him make a movie about real people based on his script "Brother Where Art Thou?" I will not spoil the ending..... I don't think I troll as I don't really know what it means. Happy Christmas |

fact is, the government can do every fear you outlined RIGHT NOW. If they want to take down your site, they will find some law to take you down. maybe you werent available for 20 hours/week for 2257 inspections. or they stick the IRS on you. They have all kinds of gimics. at some point people have to stop fearing abuse of power by the government to justify having no laws at all. The US government is not China, nor is it going to turn into one while there is a independent judiciary. |

a) Own the rights or a license to show on your sites b) Have permission from the owners to show said movies What about a year ago? Three years ago? Fabian, in your expert opinion please summarize in 100 words or less what exactly it is about your tube properties which have made them so popular with users. In other words what do you think it is that brings people to Pornhub versus the other thousands of porn tubes out there? |

Think about it. The government will never lift a finger to help anyone in this industry. Never. But this bill will empower industry producers and honest webmasters alike to help themselves. Quote:
The only sites that need worry are those whose primary purpose is the dissemination of pirated content. . |

Ten months after Egypt's revolution ended Hosni Mubarak's 30-year dictatorship, there is no sign of stable government arriving any time soon. After two days of pitch battles with the military in downtown Cairo, 10 protesters have been killed and over 300 injured. This will help you. Quote:
Seriously Damian, it makes no difference what you post here. The law will get passed, then we will see if it breaks the Internet. If I can close you down or you can close me down or Fabian can shut all the rest of us down. If you're right, what are your future plans? Have you been getting your CV ready, searching the situation vacant ads or registered at the job centre? Not having a go and this is what all the fear mongers should be doing, because according to them, it's all over. Real world, none of you have thought about alternative employment. Because you don't really believe the fears you're spreading. Not just Damian, all the fear mongers who think it's the end of online porn or the strangling of it. What actions have you taken to to safeguard your future incomes? That calls for a poll. |
is it over yet?

yet universal took down mega uploads song even though they knew it didn't contain a single second of their copyright material. The issue is not what will happen if the law if followed as intended it when grey areas are abused. Abusers of these laws should be punished just as much as companies who infringe. |
All the anti SOPA guys who think it will change their businesses, need to get over here https://gfy.com/showthread.php?t=1050810 and vote.
Then post on how they are planning to make money in the future, seeing as SOPA wil change so much for them. Well that's what they say will happen. In truth they're doing fuck all because they don't believe what they're saying. |

What do you mean by "honestly believe it will work." It does not have "to work" if you are insinuating that you should not legislate unless you can be 100% certain that the crime will be eradicated. Laws are not passed in the belief that the crime will be eradicated, and it is a really pathetic internet hippy argument that says content should be free because "its the internet". Jesus, you will be telling us that "property is theft" next. |

Universal took down one song that wasn't theirs? Took down many songs, some of which weren't theirs? Took down many songs, none of which weren't theirs? Took down the whole site? Link to the news story, from a neutral and reliable source so not a post on Pirate Bay. Can you quote me what the penalties are for bringing down a site wrongly today and the penalties for bringing down a site falsely under the new SOPA law please. Not a post somewhere, the actual law as it's written. Otherwise people will think you're full of BS. Also can you post here what your future plans are for employment. As you think SOPA s so bad. https://gfy.com/showthread.php?t=1050810 |

Take the UK Coal miners, they were doing a terrible job, they did not control the industry. They had radical beliefs of controlling the industry for the benefit of all. When the government wanted to destroy the Coal Mining Industry they struck to defend it. SOPA There could be a radical solution where society /Internet take over the full funding and employment of the industries being destroyed by the free distribution of content. Like the BBC in the UK everyone pays a hundred or so dollars a year and for that you get TV channels, news, music and news free at the point of consumption. but if the Internet is not going to pay up but just steal, then workers will defend their jobs, and will support their bosses in defending their industries. Communists see a great possibility of free information and culture for all, but the workers who produce it have to be paid. That is why if the Goggles of this world don't like SOPA, the ball is in their court on how the creative industries should be funded. Not such an idealistic wonderful technology if it is destroying your job and art. Why have the Internet companies come up with a better plan? Because they want to continue to make money on other people content and work? Robber Barons. |
