  • I love how his sound gets much worse when he gives the last example. Like it was an error...

  • Psst... Host of the broadcast, you fucking joker, it's not funny, and trying to make light of what your Guest was saying shows you have no clue. Take the man seriously, he's 100000000000% correct, we're facing dire conditions, and making light of these things is not beneficial. I believe you agree with your guest for the most part, but the humor is just distracting from an otherwise sincere and valid message.

  • People, the new Inquisition is here. If we don't cut off their heads now, they will torment us for generations. We must stop these fuckers, and voting is not what I have in mind, it's a fucking waste. Get out in the street. Join Anonymous, Zeitgeist, Occupy Wall Street, start a chapter if there isn't one nearby, communicate with the citizens in your neighborhood, make them understand. We must unite and overcome these bastards. Globally. Do something, now.

  • Welcome to the internet, Enjoy your stay

  • lol the us goverment shut him down with the push of a button

  • Legitimate artists will just be happy their stuff is seen and they get acknowledged. Business people are finding themselves obsolete in the entertainment industry and it's great.

  • WELCOME TO THE NEW WORLD ORDER.

  • As soon as I was gonna say "Somebody quick, make a new internet!" my internet stopped when I pressed enter on the keyboard for 20 minutes. What are the odds?

  • Comment removed

  • The connection started fading when he started talking about SOPA... how convenient.

  • @sergiunadasan that's nothing, in the UK, RT is the only channel that has dodgy reception. It won't even show properly on any of my friends TV sets either. It's extremely suspicious.

  • @MrSteveykk Did you check to see if your TV is made in china?

  • I like the way they lose him at the end.... I guess they didn't like what he was saying.. lol This feels like the beginning of attempts to control the internet hiding behing copyright. If we are not careful we will continue to lose our basic rights, welcome to 2012! Thanks for the upload.... :-)

  • @pst007x exactly my thoughts about how they lost him at the end, he must have said important there...

  • @Superloveman26 something importantȚ

  • Barak - No more human rights - Obamaffia

  • Sopa wants to silence the voice of human.

  • It's like if SOPA Would to come in this Channel "Russia Today" would be shut down like that because of the new copyright law... It's crap... Down with SOPA!

  • Megaupload was shut down under the ACTA treaty which passed on numerous countries like New Zealand and the U.S. It's currently being discussed in the EU and as someone said, it could be more dangerous than SOPA/PIPA

  • its all about censorship and invigilation not about copurights!

  • Yay, all i want to do is draw, but this ^ is pissing me off, yay to the world, down with sopa, pipa, and acta and everything effin else. dam politics. Go back to law school!

  • USA and UE shows their real fascist face. This is the end of democrasy on the west.

  • SOPA being dead doesnt stop RT...lol! Many of you are the useful idiots RT loves to exploit...they play you like a flute. Careful who you call sheep...

  • Who ever pays the most money gets to make THE laws.

  • 3:30.. SOPA is after Rick too!?

  • Human Rights over Copyrights!!

  • Well said, Rick. Human rights and civil rights before copyrights!!!

  • Illuminatis..

  • So 2012 is the year that Americans control not only half of the world , but the whole internet ?

  • @TheHtjohn Sucks.

  • @TheHtjohn

    We are lucky that America controls the internet

    Imagine a country like China, North Korea or an Islamic country control the internet

  • Trying to overwhelm us with different created issues!

  • hmm they tried to stop alcohol....that didn't work.

    they tried to stop marijuana use (although I'm also against it) ....that didn't work

    why? The poeple want it.

    SOPA is horse shit it will also not work.

  • ... so they long for copyright. The essentical component of copyright is government. Recall that a copyright-free company or person can only sell content once, and thats how many of computer programmers work, but if government steps-in things changes. Government _guarantees_ the alleged copyright owner that government will punish anyone who breeches copyright. So what's the deal? The deal is that in copyright law the government is the sole purchaser and reseller of copyrighted content.

  • Copyright works like this:

    If a person _creates_ some _original_ content, they can either keep it to themselves or share with the world. If a company creates a computer program for some other company, they relinquish their right for that program in the contract of exchange, and no copyright is needed. But if they share it with the world, noone can not guarantee that content won't be shared worldwide. This last thing is deemed by some to be a severe disincentive to create stuff, so...

  • Sharing is not stealing.

  • to all the old people that dont get why we younmg are so upset bacilly rember when you used to make copys of your fav cassetted music and then share it to a friend i mean let them borrow it so they could copy it well that is illegal today very sad these greedy elite baskets are very sad still we gota fund there ww3 cuase its coming its way over due rember every 50 years a big war to shake things up and sort the money system out so we can have growth again,,,wat you thought it was not pre planned

  • This fascist military empire is out of control.

    They shit on laws and extradite ANYONE from around the world.

    This concerns not any longer the AmeriKKKan public, but all of us.

  • Comment removed

  • @megatroll hence the 2012 NDAA

  • @megatroll they steal american material copyright, they go to jail. Dont bitch about it

  • @megatroll The KKK in America was a little to far.Also out of place.

  • @megatroll whats with the KKK in america? i take it you cant spell for shit or know the history of that abbreviation

  • now it's time to stop ACTA... ACTA is a much bigger problem than sopa, we should fucking draw the line in the sand. tomorrow's world shall be free of this cancerous idea called intellectual property.

  • Hammering America with a now dead SOPA bill...sounds like RT!

  • SOPA/PIPA are not dead, they are just on hold. In a few months they will look back at it when the attention drops back down. You have to keep pushing them to end it, and never let up.

  • @CloudN9ne2010 Regardless, it is terrible reporting on RTs part to pretend that the bill went threw and to blank out what the guy said with "technical difficulties"

  • so glad i found RT's youtube pg!!! I watch on tv all the time! yall tell the truth all the time & never sugar coat the news!

  • freedom versus commercial interests. toss the commercial interests first.

  • SOPA and PIPA is pretty much dead now isn't it?

  • @Ohrela Yes, but they were just a smoke screen. Read up on ACTA. Our war has just begun..

  • @TurboCrafter1 In a short paragraph, I seen ACTA as the international SOPA, PIPA, plunge the masses back into ignorance, and controlled information move. Thanks for the heads up, need to learn more about this.

  • @TurboCrafter1 In order to impose the ACTA agreement on the American people, you would have to pass a law nationally. SOPA, and PIPA is probably the execution of ACTA. Jay Rockefeller proclaimed the Internet, cyber security is the greatest threat to national security, and makes you wonder whether or not we should have invented it in the first place."

    It isn't unreasonable to think intellectual property and cyber security are smokescreens for censorship.

  • @Ohrela not at all

  • when i use to study i downloaded some anime series, and music videos, now thanks to that now i can speak English rather good, now i have a job, and I decide to buy a game, because is good, and i can now pay of it.

  • Art is not about money, it's about a message

  • You know the countries broke when they start fining and arresting little kids for downloading "illegal" music and movies...

  • It's all about restricting the internet and eventually controlling it. The elite just don't appreciate that we are getting our information from other sources than mainstream media.

  • The notion of "Intellectual Property" and Patents need to go away. Its time we move into a free and open source global culture so that greed can no longer prevent the progress of technological advancements and so the wealthy can no longer impede access to information that will bring about cures, abundance and prosperity for the entire planet; not just a select few. The rule of Corporations, Billionaires and their bitches in Politics needs to end.

  • he notion of patents and copyrights is ludicrous. No idea is truly original. EVERYONE builds on ideas that came before and only add a little difference. When you copyright/patent something and label it "Intellectual Property" you impede progress under a pretense of ownership of ideas. Imagine how much further along in technological and medicinal progress we would be if we had TRUE OPEN SOURCE?

  • Money creates barriers, impedes progress, produces classism, inequality, disparity, greed, corruption, indifference to real world issues and prevents people from doing research without having to kiss the asses of politicians and the Military Industrial Complex since nearly ALL research must first be approved for military application and promise great profit to corrupt stockholders who are leaches.

  • Subconsciously, most American electronics consumers have frequently heard that the items they buy are already obsolete when they purchase them, or that the item is already two or more generations in development and what they are buying are going to need an upgrade soon. For many this hasn't "computed" in their minds. Artificial Scarcity and Manufactured Obsolescence needs to be brought to the forefront of the consumers' minds so they can demand to know why they are wasting their money.

  • @xephyr1000 There needs to be a clear distinction between property rights and "intellectual property".

    Recently, some jurists have been trying to apply "water rights" as a model for "intellectual property rights" see for example Richard Epstein's work on this. There are complications as you might imagine.

    From my perspective, intuitively, all and any knowledge cannot be owned by anyone and this includes the discoverer. I would classify such knowledge as trade secrets and be done.

  • not from america

  • @halo3gamehead that means it is not fox propaganda brainwash shit

  • This is all about walmart and their lobby group called the Chamber of Commerce controlling digital content!

  • As his connection deteriorated, Rick started sounding more and more like the voice of 'Anonymous'!! :D

  • Understand that America is a corporation, its run by a few powerful families and the American people are wage slaves.

  • tbh megavideo kind of deserved to be shut down. They were making millions off of other peoples work (I mean 15$/month membership, fuck off). However people that link videos or load them without trying to make a profit should be left alone.

  • Sorry RT, SOPA/PIPA was thrown out and was never passed. I like how the audio conveniently stops as Rick trys to says this. OH whoops technical difficulties...

    Holly fucking propaganda, this channel is getting worst and worst.

  • @bdenniso Not thrown out, just postponed. They'll slip it in under the radar like they have every other controversial bill.

  • these people made $1 billion plus dollars over years by providing copyrighted films and video and more to people who payed them. At the minimum that billion should go to the creators of the content and not the fat guy in new zealand. if they made no money then the feds wouldnt chase them down, theyd just shut down the systems.

  • Idols in HollywormWood originally defined... "ACTOR"... A SLAVE who attended to, transacted or superintended HIS MASTER'S business affairs ~BLACK'S LAW 1891

  • Comment removed

  • NWO IS GOING FOR A FULL TAKE OVER

  • @MrDavidDux

    ...and completely failing

  • 153=Life Copyright

  • Operation Black March!!!

  • ok i think sopa is fucking retarded seriously i pirate all the time and i say it proudly its time we bring down the walls and unite against the powers that be!!!!!!! woooh nice dream sheeple will always be the ones that sit there and let this happen let them take away our rights when is enough enough how much more will they take away

  • They hack him as he speaks

  • Hollywood didnt lost 90% of what they claim. for the simple fact, people would not pay for it. if its not a free most wouldnt want it.

    you NEVER had that revenue you liars. stop claiming you lost it.

  • Linking should not be ilegal in any form. A link is a message telling you the location of something. The owner of TVshack.net was a messenger.

    If you tell a pirate where the treasure is you aren't a pirate.

  • RT hosts sound like gov't.agents 2-me! This RT host sez "Well I can't 'change your mind' on this point..." Hey! HIS job to DISCUSS the different opinions; NOT "change" the guest's OPINION! This guest had it ALL precisely set forth, quite clearly repeated the total validity of the case for the poor slobs getting tagged by GLOBALIST B.S. just to 'make a point'~not for any real crime! This whole SOPA thing IZ a power-grab dressed up as "protector"of corporatations~~in short, a giant EUPHEMISM! >_<

  • This is only the beginning of the year, things are gonna get MUCH worse.

  • Internet user are 1 BILLION people per-DAY, and ALL of them are "Pirates" according to SOPA, why ? because people who copy an image, watch YOUTUBE videos, read an article, can be describe as "Pirate" until they 100% sure that article they read, images they see, and video they watch are not copyrighted material. (everybody doing that in the internet) and US wanted to bring that 1 billion persons to US soil for trial ? and go to US prison ? they must be kidding or nuts.

  • "If a business cannot sustain a business model in the face of civil liberties, then, it's the business model and the business that has to change. Not our civil liberties."

    That's all that needs to be said. This guy is the shit.

  • @Boofelcake Quite an insighhtful statement. Smart guy.

  • @Boofelcake Well Said!

  • "... not being serious, of course...".

    Sure about that, RT-guy??

  • MF !!! RNWO

  • RT hosts are #1

  • this act showed the US government how bankrupt they are, even though they attacked oil countries....

    the downturn of capitalism has begun

  • Nah, i really dont think the public will sit and take it.

  • Whoever gets top comment is a fag.

  • When people start disappearing and never show back up we will see exactly what these pieces of legislation really are designed to do.The ignorance of the overall public will allow the establishment to do as they please. We are currently at war with a domestic enemy.How we fight them is just as important as the fight itself.Peace.

  • i do agree with people saying fuck hollywood... id be over the moon to just make just 1m when they made hundreds of millions yet that isn't enough for them

  • OMG, like the entertainment industry does not make enough money. WTH is wrong with people? I teach upwards of 150 children and adults every week and I make 350 dollars a week. 350$. I work with disabled Americans at least 2 days per week-but usually more. I sometimes have to tend to their personal needs. It is humbling, tiring, testy work but I love helping people and being a role model. I love the laughter I share with people every day. I feel like that is even being threatened...its too much.

  • FUCK THE HOLLYWOOD AND MAINSTREAM MUSIC INDUSTRIES

  • The guy is right..Hollywood and Music industry has been filling their own pockets for so long that as a customer I have looked for alternative ways to get my fix, Instead of finding ways to get me more interested to buy, they shot me down and take away my liberties. That's just wrong. Copyright laws and patents should be under review. But ofcourse the big corps are not going to stand for that. Thats too much work and less profit right?

  • START SOLAR ENERGY NOW!

    SOLAR ENERGY CARS, HOUSES AND GROW YOUR FOOD.

  • FUCKING JEWISH FAGGOTS

    NO GOVERMENT = PEACE

  • These is about taking our right slowly. The invisible hand are the one that introduce the power of the internet to make people dependent on it and than take it away from us people that are addicted to drug and if you take that away from him he will start lost control over his life. They will control every part of our life and monitor everything that we do until than they will not stop and will keep introduce a new law to take our right slowly. For example more security camera to spy on us

  • Stop SOPA, go steal oil

  • @leeroybrowns RT isnt providing the internet or making programs for video conference.

  • IF you think SOPA and PIPA were evil... wait till you se ACTA and OPEN... it will bring chills down your spine.

  • host has clearly no clue about this one.

  • Does that mean tha if you put your kids birthday on youtube or facebook and your kid is singing a song or there's a song playing in the background that is copyright ,is illegal? Or a wedding that has a singing band that is singing on your first dance?

  • @SilverPatri0tsGeorge the song "happy birthday" is a copyright song, thats why they only sing it in Warner movies or in others if they paid for the rights to use it, so yes singing happy birthday and posting the video is indeed copyright infringement

  • @TheMdc78

    This shit is getting worse and worse.

    HANG THE POWER!

  • @Seymour13 Fuckin' A brother

  • Oi, blame our rich and government, which are controlling the people. Though it IS the peoples fault for being COMPLETELY IGNORANT. Sigh, my country suck...

  • At the end the SOPA fuckers are trying to block him from RT
