Just in case any politicians are reading. Ted Stephens was bad, but you modern lobbyist boot-lickers REALLY take the cake.

PLEASE COPY AND PASTE THIS COMMENT TO ALL VIDEOS ABOUT SOPA!

[chickensforthewin]

just to see how fucked up everyone is. I was having a debate the other day with my friend. It was whether or not we live in a free society. i argued that we couldn't possibly live in a free country as there are restrictions or mlaws that we are forced to abide to. he was debating against my views. but i won the debate and he agrees with me now

[Codeditss]

lol in sweden "SOPA" means "Trash". true...true...

[atma]

The journalist is clearly retarded.

[salhawk]

from what i understand youtube will be down within a day since so many people already post copyright material every single day on it .... wikipedia, thepiratebay ... alomost every major site will be under zionist control .... boycott SOPA shit people .

[RadioPsiHAWKlogCent0]

@salhawk youtube are intent on destroying themselves anyway !

Nobody likes the new channels and esp the truth that we the users that made this site exist and the massive power it is today, are being ignored.

2012 is all about change and by the looks of things the start of ww3 and when that happens they will have the excuse to shut down the internet completely !!

[lionstanding]

@RadioPsiHAWKlogCent0

Keep speaking Truth to power. The subaltern will have his/her day.

We are in a precarious position, though. This and the NDAA do not bode well. "Interesting times"....the Chinese curse is upon us....

[RadioPsiHAWKlogCent0]

@lionstanding "precarious position" !!

"sliding down the razor blade of life" I think says it better ;-)

They are certainly out to clamp down on all the "free speech" we have, that is communicating freely online. It is already a crime to express yourself in public as most demonstrations are deemed illegal before they even start.

I realize that the YT management are doing us a favor by their resent actions as the more sensitive of us will leave now rather when the Feds hammer falls.

Peace ;-)

[RadioPsiHAWKlogCent0]

@lionstanding Not only are they getting us used to the idea of sudden irreversable change but they are giving the most attached to their channels types very good reason to leave volentarily rather than feel totally suicidal when the whole site gets closed.

On a higher level perhaps we are being given warning of the end of this reality as the massive change now due this year takes place. The destruction of this vibrant virtual world is just an echo of the coming end of human society.

Peace ......

[edthoo]

the internet is under fire, because we denied corporations to control us mindlessly with the SOPA and PIPA acts they retaliated by shutting down Megaupload and arresting it's owner. This show's you the government's power even without these acts and that the government is controlled by capitalist greed. They will not stop until they get what they want and every internet user should be prepared for that.

[MidnightProducti0n]

And that's it from wikimedia, thanks. She doesn't know what she's talking about.

[ZzQuickSc0pesZz]

If YouTube gets taken down il bomb this guy...

[SoHarleyQuinn]

The US government cannot do this, wtf!!! The bill isn't even passed and they're already shutting down websites, people don't just upload pirated content on megaupload. Anyway... if wikipedia goes then seriously, young learners will suffer while fat old big-shot executives will be bathing in more cash.

[TheViSOLDIER]

Makes me wonder what happened to the 'Land of the free and the home of the brave'. . .

Stupid news bitch is stupid.

[robertus911]

So SOPA and PIPA is to protect intellectual property. What the movie industry calls intellectual property in no more than soft porn.. All movies today show women having sex butt naked. Its like you can't get away from all that sex. intellectual property is murder and blowing up things.They should have a sin law where if movies show sex and or lot of violence any one can down load it.Then that would stop soft porn.

[robertus911]

@robertus911 So whats going to happen if RT show a video clip from ABC or CBS or Fox news for some reason. Are they going to shut down RT. You know that if it were the other way around you couldn't shut them down. They probly got some fine print in the law. A friend of mine thats in congress says that the only reason they make so many laws is that they don't have anything else to do. So they want to act like there doing something.

This was designed to introduce censorship, because on any site can be found something that violates the copyright, but also information which the government machine do not want you to know

This'll pass eventually, there's simply too much money being thrown at the entire legislature of the USG. It might fail now, it might fail tomorrow, but eventually, the corporate masters of the formerly great nation of America will force it through, then be amazed by the sudden massive economic crash that happens right afterwards.

[1ghostronin]

OF course its about control! fuck these cunts! fuck them till they bleed, then let them bleed out.

[HoltFrak]

@loopantenna

To be fair, the delight of spreading one's work doesn't pay the bills.

[WilliamNaville]

@HoltFrak I agree with holtfark...bills gotta be paid...but on the other hand i believe that information is just that....information....and some information should be free

[HoltFrak]

@WilliamNaville

Yes, but when someone writes a book, and that book gets recreated and sold online without the author gaining any money, isnt that a little... wrong?

[liam6starr]

@HoltFrak you know, i'm a musician, and i would argue that there will always be an oppurtunity to make money somehow. ART, and MONEY, should be kept seperate for ARTISTIC INTEGRITY

[1ghostronin]

@HoltFrak Thats the point, we dont need bills, we have everything we need in abundance, the money system creates scarcity.

[MrEdwardCarron]

Its Impossible to stop piracy through simply seeking it out and destroying it. instead to get rid of piracy legitimate companies (like net flicks etc) should do a better job and provide a far superior service that's worth paying for. Piracy should be a constant reminder for people to continue to provide a good worthwhile service which would benefit everyone

[ShadesofScorpius]

THe idea that the media corporations' press to shape and control the internet is "conspiracy theory" is ridiculous. OF COURSE they're pushing to control the internet! How did this bill get legs?! If they can regulate it, they reap the monetary rewards, AND they get to shape the message and spin their own press. Wikipedia DIMINISHES in my eyes when a head of it refuses to face FACTS. I thought that's what Wikipedia was supposedly about.

[TheUltraNinja]

[ultimaterunescape90]

they say America is freedom yet they shut down internet. freedom my ass...

[kksiskks]

It is just immoral to claim ownership of information, let alone knowledge.

If SOPA pass, there will be a dark age waiting ahead. (How a huge profit you can get from people know nothing or things you let them know?)

The integrity of science will slowly fall apart and degraded into a kind of religion, even into superstition.

[d353rt3ur]

I didnt know that John Davies, the Chief Executive of Wikimedia UK is so naive. This guy completely missed the point. Mr. Davis, this whole discussion is about CONTROL OF INFORMATION & KNOWNLEGDE! How can you work for Wikimedia AND NOT KNOW IT? Are you sure, you have the right job, mister?

[ShadesofScorpius]

@d353rt3ur EXACTLY. "Conspiracy theory" he says. He's either worryingly naive, or a scumbag, lying, ass-coverer.

I think we know which it is.....

[homer4556]

this is nothing to do with copyright u never kill it full stop.This is freedom of speech going down the toilet.Fancy saying to someone u can,t look at that

[kevkentis]

What the BOMBOCLAAT a GWAAN INA THE RASSCLAAT COUNTRY? DIS IS EXACTLY HOW MI RASSCLAAT FEEL, THE LITTLE FREEDOM WE HAVE DEM TRYING TO TAKE IT AWAY. LEAVE THE INTERNET ALONE!!

[jobzombi]

The people in the states are tired of the government and it is evident by the fact that the best selling item on black Friday were guns. This nation just needs a catalyst to bring about forced reform. Wikipedia may have material that is not original, but it phrased in an orginal manner, ie not cut and paste. If a study shows 9 out 10 people like beer, there is no way to circumvent saying it as such, so a reference is required.

[loopantenna]

Copyright is the most stupid and detrimental thing for human kind progress. It is only about money, about the redistribution of the money artificially created by banks. Real artist should spread their works for the delight and appreciation of the public. Money just gets in the way.

[coturnix19]

@loopantenna No, patent is much worse.

[JohnSmith88823]

@loopantenna

I am against SOPA, but you are against freedom. If someone wants to sell their works, they can do that - and if someone steals them, they have the right to take legal action. Without copyright, there would be no sense of ownership for intellectual property and thus no point to produce work.

[loopantenna]

@JohnSmith88823 Real artists and intellectuals do what they do because they love it, in fact many of them died poor and without fame. What I don't like it's people being slave of money in order to survive. I very much oppose the intellectual ownership because no one produce anything without influence of some one else' ideas.

Rich people can live on bank interests. Poor need to loan with interest to study, buy a house etc. How money brings freedom to people? O_o

[1ghostronin]

@loopantenna yes yes!

[gfdgf2]

@loopantenna

couldn"t have said it better myself...

Ride On

[mikecorbeil]

@loopantenna I understand what you're saying, but book publishing, fe, requires man-hours, paid too.

What I find curious is when the Wikipedia guy speaks of this being a charity. All charities receive funds, donations or how ever else people call it. And knowing who the funders are can be very useful and crucial info. Wikipedia must receive funding one way or another, so why not divulge this info?

[MathyMike]

@mikecorbeil That's no secret. Every year, they do a huge fundraiser to attract donations from its users. Occasionally they also get larger donations from other sources - which typically means more or less a press release :) Some of which are listed at the Wikimedia Foundation's web page, search for "Benefactors". (the comment won't allow me to link, apparently)

[Laoch111]

The Internet is a gift to the world - it must remain free and open. Censorship sucks.

“I don't see much future for the Americans ... it's a decayed country. And they have their racial problem, and the problem of social inequalities ... my feelings against Americanism are feelings of hatred and deep repugnance ... everything about the behaviour of American society reveals that it's half Judaised, and the other half negrified. How can one expect a State like that to hold together?”

[GameplayCrush]

He's spot on in the ending, the pirates will still find their ways and continue what they;re doing while legit websites etc. get the short straw.

Its kike DRM on a massive scale, doesnt affect pirates much, but causes so much issues for legit users.

[silkander]

Then after the corporations who are controlling the government officials take down your website, you will disappear and never be heard from again (legally of course, via NDAA). Then after a couple of years of that, the only people left will be brainwashed sheep who work for these evil corporations and then give all of the money they made working for them right back to them.

Around 2020 is when it think the whole thing may finally collapse "1989 style"

[sirellyn]

@jd007200 Wow you are being incredibly generous not only with the amount of time you think the US has remaining, but also the scale of the collapse.

[jd007200]

Generous? I don't get what you are trying to say? you too much time/ too little time? Bigger collapse/ Smaller collapse?... etc:

[sirellyn]

@jd007200 Much bigger collapse. Much sooner.

I course I know the US government doesn't give a crap about us. I loathe what this nation has been corrupted into... And worse that selfish, distracted, ignorant fools a large portion of the population has turned into. And yes I root for mankind, against our ultimate enemy... corporate/ goverment world domination. I do not root for this failing country, I root that the American people wake up from the error of their misguided folly...
