I know so many people who just blame everything they don't like on "liberals".
"Liberal" doesn't just mean "stuff I don't agree with", people. Try and learn what the opposing side ACTUALLY wants. Sometimes both sides want the same thing, especially when the thing we dislike has almost zero positive traits. (Like SOPA.)
Well...Hollywood does support SOPA, and that is what Gingrich was thinking of I'm sure. But of course lame-stream righty media wants to limit internet competition as well.
Like most polititians Newt is a whore.All of his beliefs are subject to public opinion.The only reason he would even oppose SOPA is because popular opinion was swaying towards dislike on that bill.
Gingrich against SOPA? No he's not. Ron Paul was the ONLY one of those candidates speaking out against SOPA before the blackout by Wikipedia, Reddit, and other sites, which resulted in a massive public outcry against the bill. The other candidates there are against bad press, such as supporting a bill that just got a ton of bad press.
@2000warrior He denies evolutionary science, environmental science and possibly the holocaust(But thats unsubstantiated). Is that the kind of man you want running your country?
Gingrich was both right and wrong in his depiction of SOPA's supporters. While it is very inaccurate that the media corporations that support SOPA are left wing, it is true that a majority of SOPA's supporters in congress are democrats. Also,when you look at the bill, it is something that the conservative Republican party would oppose, seeing that it is a such a large amount of government intervention into business.
@PinballWizard249 And what really broke SOPA was not so much us opposing it as it was one group of mega corporations vs another group of mega corporations and the one with greater influence won. If traditional media hadn't been stepping on new media's toes there, it very well could have passed.
About 00:45 Gingrinch says "we have a patent office, we have copyright law". Bill Clinton damaged both copyright & patent law by signing sweeping corporate protectionist intellectual property laws. Laws that affect both copyright & patent law. George W. Bush signed off on homeland security legislation that greatly curtailed, free speech & includes legislation that criminalizes decryption & reverse engineering. Obama signed off on File First Patent and the NDAA what rights, what recourse America?
if u want INTERNATIONAL CURRENT EVENTS in english, that are some reason ignored by the western media then please visist CHANNELEDKNOWLEDGE:ORG its the news mainstream media ignores..
The question is, what is SOPA, (Stop Online Piracy Act) and PIPA, (Protect IP), really about ?
Is it not about Piracy but it is an excuse to Spy on users and close things down that the Government don't like to hear, (usually the truth), e.g. things that does not praise them and keep them in power and lots of personal wealth. If it was about copying or piracy then the DMCA, Digital Millennium Copyright Act could be used.
@brighteye007 Well the thing is Bill Maher . he always get upset when fox news dose this very thing.if are going to report something you need to have your facts on your subject...it's just seem to me he was upset because his movie didn't do big numbers.
Is the truth. Hollywood is the one who benefits from this, so they will only have more perks. And I think Murdoch should get called out, but he is a owner of News Corp so all he's thinking is his interest. Nevertheless, he's a moron.
Many -- including Comcast -- have come out supporting SOPA, but that's because of the lobbying and influence. For once let the people win. Yet Hollywood has no problem showing off their movies but this though is so evil than their movies. And they wonder who's ou
Most of Hollywood is left-wing so I don't see how his statement was dishonest? If you're upset that he mentioned liberals than at least remember that he specifically meant left-wing people in Hollywood. And Rupert Murdoch isn't Gingrich, the chairman of some company can have his own opinion separate from who the company hires. I think it's a bit of an exaggeration to call him dishonest.
Well duh they have to oppose SOPA, just like every semi-conscious American out there. That is, until they get elected, then they can do whatever the hell they want.
wait huh? last i heard i thought you couldnt counter sue the govenement if they took down your website and you didnt have copyright issues? and newt is a full flesh lair. everything he or mitt says is a complete icing to the cake. newt couldnt even keep a commitment to his ex wife, you honestly think he can keep to his word to protect the Constitution? blah, all lies
The truth of the matter is that SOPA had FAR more support from Democrats than it did from Republicans. While this could mean that they earned more lobbying money, it clearly makes them the pro-Hollywood if anybody is.
I dislike Gingrich, but he's correct here on both counts. I find this surprising as well.
ok so im a republican and i am now going to vote for newt grenrich <or how ever the fuck you spell that) because of this video. if it makes you fell any better i voted for Obama cuz Sara Palin is a fucking idiot.

@LiberalViewer I don't know if you know this or not but TJ, TheAmazingAtheist, is working on getting a project funded called Not Productive. It is over at indiegogo (.) com (/) not (-) productive for all the details, video description, the perks of donating and other stuff about the project. So are you going to help out someone that help you out?
Newt was right about SOPA but wasn't necessarily dishonest about its supporters, rather i believe he was just uninformed, as is sadly common these days with our politicians. And on the second question i will have to say that online media companies really aren't more powerful and my reasoning is this: Were they more powerful before SOPA was introduced? No. So by that logic a transient bill going through congress that just happened to threaten them wouldn't make them more powerful on its defeat.
1st Question. No, Newt wasn't wrong about the supporters of SOPA and PIPA. It is old media/Hollywood. However, he didn't give a FULL characterization of the supporters. It's also software companies, like Microsoft. Google functions on shareware and receives money from advertisers. While music, pictures and video is an issue, the larger issue is software pirating. GOP won't discuss that.
It will stop piracy, but by destroying the surface web, destroying the deep web, labelling Tor a "circumvention tool" and cutting off Chinese & Iranian people's ability to see the actual Internet, and doing the same to I2P, FreeNet and the like. In other words just about 99% of the internet dies, while the less than 1% of the internet consisting of foreign surface web sites becomes the ENTIRE WEB.
Lamar Smith, a Texas Republican, wrote SOPA and was trying to drive it through to approval. So Newt is being disingenuous about the supporters of SOPA. In fact, it is a literal cartel of big media paying off key congress reps to draft and pass this stuff.
That said, Newt is spot on about the effects SOPA would have, so that part of his answer is excellent.
newt is Machiavellian, he mixes honesty with lies when it is to his benefit. he does things to shape public perception of him, not because he believes the things he says
Democrat, Republican... Liberal, Conservative... It's all a show! A side show to keep the public busy while they do what they're handlers want. They are all on the same side! The side against public freedom! Look at the supporters of SOPA, they come from both sides almost equally. We just happened to catch them this time, it won't last long.
I feel that these big corporations do deserve to protect their intellectual property. and so do bands and several others, however SOPA was simply not the correct way to do it since it gave way too much power to them. Its foolish to complain about not being able to steal without any form of punishment. But to go so far as to be able to arrest people over review footage or similar things is simply too much. Also they should give a proper warning first before destroying a website over 1 incident.
@peenfluteking I agree entirely. We live under a political structure which heavily favors the rich, prestigious members of society. American politics attracts the type of mindset that values power and the self above all other traits. They are the kinds of people who are willing to do what they have to to get what they want.
I think the new trend is becoming to support whatever is populus publicly and push thru whatever legislation their financial supporters want from them. but to tell the truth Im not sure how "new" this trend really is. the problem is politicians no longer fear the consequences of their actions, because their no longer made to face these consequences. People shouldn't be afraid of their government, a government should be afraid of its people.
just pointing it out it was a republc9ian that purposed the bill , so not only is it a double standard but it shows which party at the moment is play9ing its stereotypes
@moneyjr1122 Are you stupid? Just because they're of the same party affiliation doesn't mean their views can't vary. There's many movements and groups in the Republican Party i.e. Tea Party, Moderate, Conservative, Neo-Conservative (Bushies), Evangelical Republicans and there's the Ron Paul movement. They all have opinions and different policies, if they didn't it wouldn't matter who the nominee was.
He's just following the new trend. Most politicians are now opposing SOPA/PIPA now that the public has spoken out against it en mass. Because there's only one thing that matters more to them than corporate interests: getting elected/re-elected, and you can't do that without votes.
I think its very clear after the wikipedia blackout that backing SOPA is politically dangerous. However jumping on the bandwagon, from that bandwagon you can point to the real culprits the "left wingers". Its all just politics. That little answer = 1000 independents who will vote gingrich rather than Obama. Lets stop looking at the media companies and look at ....Walmart, and Dow Chemical. I think they have more power than Revlon or Hollywood executives
I must agree with the people who have pointed out that conservative voters have been indoctrinated with this idea that the media has a liberal bias, so bashing media/Hollywood is good in their minds, even if it is hypocritcal to conservative ideology toward big business or even FOX News. (Or, in other words, media bashing is a giant red herring that conservative voters will swallow hook, line, and sinker!) So, yes, Newt was being dishonest.
@peenfluteking Emotionless? Probably not. But the rest characterizes them pretty well. You don't get to a position of power in the US government without being a total scumbag. That's just the way our system works.
@peenfluteking lol have you heard wht newt did? he was married his wife had cancer he divorced her while she was dying for a younger wife. then he divorces the younger wife for a younger wife when she gets older rofl.
@crimsonlung You're being pointless for the sake of nothing important what so ever. This made some interesting arguments and you're arguing about a clock's face? Shut up dude
@thekeithchannel Ron Paul is great on a lot of his stand points but he's got some issues with his foreign policy that has some potential problems. thats why i dont intend to vote for him. i really dont like anyone this year i might not vote all together.
What are his issues with foreign policy..? I don't see how doing what the constitution says is a problem. Ron Paul isn't TOTALLY Anti-war. He just believes we should only go to with a declaration through congress like the constitution says. All of the other candidates want to illegally abuse their power as president and go to war as they please, like Obama. They basically think 'blowback' is a fairy tale when the CIA said themselves it's one of the root causes of violent acts. Dr. Paul doesn't
@DeadJesus100 Quite so. Though he's a self-stated non-interventionalist so that may mean the end of those two wars you're currently involved in. Gain some, lose some.
Although this doesn't actually mean that he'll keep his promises if he gets elected. Politicians promise many things.
@DeadJesus100 With all due respect, if Ron Paul could institute a silver standard to replace our current system of monetized debt, we would all be living like rich people in America, we could replace social security with IRA's fit for a king. Would you really still want the US gov to plan your retirement? Not me..
@DeadJesus100 Not much better? That's like saying Ron Paul is a traitor. He's the only one fighting FOR the people not against them. You can tell he has no interest in being a powerful president. That's why Ron Paul's highest contributor is the US military and not Goldman Sachs like Obama and Romney. When Dr. Paul rides in planes, he rides in coach for god's sake.
@MntlWard Because it conflicted with property rights. Private property is private property. You have the right to reject anyone to come onto your private property for any reason including race. It's not the right thing to do morally, but you should have the freedom to. Restaurants are private property and if they want to reject someone because of race, they should be aloud to. They will probably NEVER have customers but they should have the freedom to choose who gets to come onto their property.
Are we gonna ignore the fact that he probably only said that for the popularity points. Even one of those mentally challenged GOP s could see majority of people hate S.O.P..A. $1000 says he doesn't give two shits about S.O.P.A. but he knows the we hate it, so he hates it as far as we know.
Right now the European government is deciding on ACTA, a law similar to SOPA and PIPA, I’m a European and I ask you all to help… Save us from a law that will restrict our freedom! Look up ACTA, and help. I signed against SOPA although I’m not an American: because I know that we might not be in the same country, but we are all on the same internet. Save us from this threat to our freedom!
Actually, his 40 second summary was pretty spot on. Coloring it as a leftist power play is grossly flawed. Regardless of party affiliation, the big backers of this thing are capitalists, simple and plain. They feel they're being ripped off, so they used their influence to get this thing in front of lawmakers. What strikes me as odd, is that this isn't really a capitalistic solution to the problem. Innovation in emerging markets is the solution, and they really haven't risen to that challenge.
@shlibookensteppah what you describe would involve them doing a lot of work and putting effort into their products. I don't see them doing that any more if they ever did.
You people need to start actually reading these bills and taking time to think about how they are meant to be used and what they are for. No part of any corporation wants to 'destroy your internet' or restrict your rights or anything.
They are for the sole purpose of protecting copyright material and you need to accept that there needs to be power somewhere to stop pirates.
@plutoniumdust You're blind if you think SOPA or PIPA was only about stopping copyright. I read that bill to hell and back, and it was quite obvious what the bill was actually about. Anyone who has the interest of free speech would not support either of those bills, regardless of whether they protect copyright or not.
@plutoniumdust Two parts, namely the part where it originally allowed DNS removal, and the part where it failed to define what a rogue website was. In short the vagueness of the bill overall basically would have allowed Hollywood to take down any website of their choosing on a whim's notice. I could go into more detail later, but I don't feel like flooding this video with comments at the moment.
@johnnyf19 And this just proves your idiocy. How else are they going to take down the website if it can't remove it from DNS? And how can they define a piracy website when they can take the form of anything? MegaUpload was a simple file sharing service that was used legitimately at the front, but upon inspection it was clearly aimed at piracy. Same with lots of things on the internet, they take form in lots of ways.
@plutoniumdust Fuck me for being dumb? No sir, FUCK YOU for being dumb. I can tell that you're obviously not understanding the logistics behind this bill at all, not only does it give them the power to remove any website due to the vagueness without due process, note WITHOUT due process, but it does little if any to cut down on pirating, since the pirates are easily tech savy enough to simply circumvent such a law. Hollywood knows this, and still lobbied to get it passed.
@plutoniumdust Lol at you not knowing about IRC, lol at you not knowing about DNS circumvention. You're just like these nutjobs trying to pass this shit, you don't have a damn clue how the internet actually works.
@plutoniumdust And why am I acting out against these bills? Because they don't provide protections of free speech or innovation on the internet. They basically allow Hollywood to muscle anyone they want around, and if you don't comply with their demands? Boom your site is gone no due process needed because the bill that was passed didn't protect that. That's all the reason I need to speak out against it, so now I have a question for you. Why do you support a bill like that?
@plutoniumdust Do some fucking research before you call other people dumb, because it's obvious you don't have a clue how Hollywood or technology works.
@Widarr You're a fucking idiot. Just thought I'd point that out to you as it seems noone has gotten it through your thick skull as of yet. SOPA threatens to take away freedom, freedom to talk, write and show anything over the internet earth's biggest information resource. It takes away too much. Do you want to be ruled indefinitely by the government? To be told what to do and when to do it? Sooner or later you'll realise they don't give a fuck about you, but we, the 99% population of earth, do.
YES! Absolutely LOVE how Newt Gingrich answered this question, he took the words right out of my mouth when it comes to whats right...
I support Paul, I HATE Romney, but I kind of like/dislike Gingrich. He's not the greatest, but if there is one thing you need to know, hes definitely NOT an idiot. If he won the nomination, i'd vote for him.
There is a lot of revenue the United States loses due to piracy which does not help our economy, It is like outsourcing jobs around the world. It is a ridiculous statement made by Newt Gingrich to say that it will hurt companies like Google etc.
I'm fairly certain Newt is only taking that position due to it's unpopularity at this moment. If hollywood sent a check his way, he'd no doubt support it. Romney is much the same way. If you're looking for some politicians to buy-off, those are your go-to guys.
1. He's not totally dishonest about the supporters. My favorite senator (IL-Durbin) supports PIPA (the senate version of the bill) yet only does so because he believes it helps keep jobs. I'm sure with a little more convincing from his constituents he would no longer support the bill since it's a job killer and not a creator. Nevertheless, he receives about 133k from the ent. industry in campaign donations.
2. It does not mean they're powerful yet it does mean the old is afraid of the new.
yes, marx was exactly that. i think if corporations were subject to the same laws that their workers were subject to it might(MIGHT) fix our economy, perhaps not totally fix but bandage it a little.
YES. that is EXACTLY what i said. if you knew anything about marx's theories you'd know the communist manifesto wasn't his only published work. and that they are kind of a 'this is how it is in my time, and probably how it will be in yours' oh yes, communism is far worse. but average people have as much control over the market as they do the laws that govern them. regardless of what form of -ism their government is. i'd just prefer next time you make an educated response.
@TAXEXEMPTION My problem with Marx has always been he was to much an idealist, where there were others in Workers International that were more realist thinkers. Capitalism is better system for equality if the rules are proper, unfortunately, the high water mark of equality in wealth was set by the United states in the 60's and early 70's and have since been destroyed by the Greedy liars out there.
I can't believe Newt has gotten as far as he has in this election cycle......wait, nevermind, Obama got elected as president.

1st Question. No, Newt wasn't wrong about the supporters of SOPA and PIPA. It is old media/Hollywood. However, he didn't give a FULL characterization of the supporters. It's also software companies, like Microsoft. Google functions on shareware and receives money from advertisers. While music, pictures and video is an issue, the larger issue is software pirating. GOP won't discuss that.

It will stop piracy, but by destroying the surface web, destroying the deep web, labelling Tor a "circumvention tool" and cutting off Chinese & Iranian people's ability to see the actual Internet, and doing the same to I2P, FreeNet and the like. In other words just about 99% of the internet dies, while the less than 1% of the internet consisting of foreign surface web sites becomes the ENTIRE WEB.

Lamar Smith, a Texas Republican, wrote SOPA and was trying to drive it through to approval. So Newt is being disingenuous about the supporters of SOPA. In fact, it is a literal cartel of big media paying off key congress reps to draft and pass this stuff.
That said, Newt is spot on about the effects SOPA would have, so that part of his answer is excellent.

I feel that these big corporations do deserve to protect their intellectual property. and so do bands and several others, however SOPA was simply not the correct way to do it since it gave way too much power to them. Its foolish to complain about not being able to steal without any form of punishment. But to go so far as to be able to arrest people over review footage or similar things is simply too much. Also they should give a proper warning first before destroying a website over 1 incident.

@peenfluteking I agree entirely. We live under a political structure which heavily favors the rich, prestigious members of society.

He's just following the new trend. Most politicians are now opposing SOPA/PIPA now that the public has spoken out against it en mass. Because there's only one thing that matters more to them than corporate interests: getting elected/re-elected, and you can't do that without votes.

I must agree with the people who have pointed out that conservative voters have been indoctrinated with this idea that the media has a liberal bias, so bashing media/Hollywood is good in their minds, even if it is hypocritcal to conservative ideology toward big business or even FOX News. (Or, in other words, media bashing is a giant red herring that conservative voters will swallow hook, line, and sinker!) So, yes, Newt was being dishonest.

Actually, his 40 second summary was pretty spot on. Coloring it as a leftist power play is grossly flawed. Regardless of party affiliation, the big backers of this thing are capitalists, simple and plain. They feel they're being ripped off, so they used their influence to get this thing in front of lawmakers. What strikes me as odd, is that this isn't really a capitalistic solution to the problem. Innovation in emerging markets is the solution, and they really haven't risen to that challenge.

plutoniumdust 4 weeks ago
@plutoniumdust Two parts, namely the part where it originally allowed DNS removal, and the part where it failed to define what a rogue website was. In short the vagueness of the bill overall basically would have allowed Hollywood to take down any website of their choosing on a whim's notice. I could go into more detail later, but I don't feel like flooding this video with comments at the moment.
johnnyf19 4 weeks ago
@johnnyf19 And this just proves your idiocy. How else are they going to take down the website if it can't remove it from DNS? And how can they define a piracy website when they can take the form of anything? MegaUpload was a simple file sharing service that was used legitimately at the front, but upon inspection it was clearly aimed at piracy. Same with lots of things on the internet, they take form in lots of ways.
Defining them would leave SOPA useless.
Fuck you for being dumb.
plutoniumdust 4 weeks ago
@plutoniumdust Fuck me for being dumb? No sir, FUCK YOU for being dumb. I can tell that you're obviously not understanding the logistics behind this bill at all, not only does it give them the power to remove any website due to the vagueness without due process, note WITHOUT due process, but it does little if any to cut down on pirating, since the pirates are easily tech savy enough to simply circumvent such a law. Hollywood knows this, and still lobbied to get it passed.
