Net Neutrality : Animated Music Video

[cscdigitalgraphics]

Keep the net free.

[doze99trax]

knowledge is free

[Houshalter]

All I got from this was "I'm afraid of free markets."

[bradpricemusic]

What a great way to put across a message that is VERY important to all of us!

[JoanJoan1997]

I've been looking for this for like two years, lol. I finally found it! ^.^

[lavosgundam]

Vinton Cerf, can't believe I goofed.

[roschler]

@lavosgundam - I know exactly how you feel, and then multiply that feeling by the video view count. :)

[lavosgundam]

@roschler I can't believe the people who made the video goofed that badly...

[lavosgundam]

VEINT cerf, not vince

[lavosgundam]

Vinton Cerf, you savage.

[trumpetSL08]

I like the piccolo part of it. I wish I knew the notes so I can use it for a piece im composing. Good job!!!

[trumpetSL08]

They should make a version like this. I love the song This Land is your Land. Great tune.

[TeenaL9]

Great video and ditty. Used it for a class I was taking online. Tune drove everyone crazy, but they remembered the message. Great job! Had to hear it again.

[KushinLos]

Nothing is free. Even if you are going into a place where you could go on line without paying a fee, someone else is still paying the access fees. Most of the time it ends up being a taxpayer as most places with free access are libraries and the like, but even if you were to use one of the new NDS web browsers or a PSP for surfing, there was the initial payments of those products.

[KushinLos]

I say that if you want to pay more for faster service, it is your business and not that of the governments or even your fellow human beings.

[Kwashi13]

I agree, nothing in this world is for free... but it's like in AI. They will charge you for information. That sux! I support the net neutrality thing completely.

It's fugged up to think people will charge us EXTRA when most of the world is dirt poor... :(

Where the fug do those ppl think money comes from?! It's people's hard earned pay from living life working the whole time.

Another way of making us slaves of the system.

[ddxxlll23]

Yes, your price should be the speed you get and it should be uniform, so you can browse at the speed you pay for on any website you want

[dylan7789]

Tim Berners-Lee ivented the web (Cerf invented the net), i doubt he will stand back and watch it slip into the governments greedy hands especially since he's head of W3C

[Kwashi13]

But there's a problem. It's these individuals who want to charge extra for their website - so what could he do, just cuz he invented the net? :(

I don't think it's that simple, though I wish it was.

I think this guy isn't in a position to do anything about it!

[Batsap]

I don't know what's better, the message or the fact that you used an open-sourced movie to convey it.

[roschler]

Thanks Batsap. :)

[darkmage5534]

wat is this show?

[darkmage5534]

hey wats this show?

[roschler]

It's from an free animation movie call Elephants Dream.  The link is in the video notes.

[GringaBonita]

great! Best one I've seen on the subject so far

[roschler]

Thanks for the kind words!

[RevKeaponLaffin]

True Roschler, and I already emailed and called me congresspeople thru SaveTheInternet.com months ago. I honestly think this is a battle between the Telco's and Google..they've been buying up 'Dark Fiber' for years now and that proly makes AT&T very very nervous.

[roschler]

@I did the same. Google's buying up "Dark Fiber" and the Telco's are buying up "Dark Lobbyists". Will Google's Fiber help clean the crap out of the Lobbyists? Only Darth Metamucil knows for sure! :)

Let's keep our fingers crossed.

[RevKeaponLaffin]

Agreed, but then again IMHO Congress should pass a law that Lobbyists entering DC should be shot on sight.

Honestly, yes people need to react and call their representives. But this issue is so socially stupid it's on par with Prohibition. If it actually passes, it'll be repealed in 6 months, and hacked in only 3 months, max. It would piss off the entire planet, we are still(barely) the biggest Net hub

[RevKeaponLaffin]

Great clip..But I laff every time Congress thinks it has the power to regulate the Net. I'm sorry Congress-folks, but..you don't..hehe..Look at China and their vast censorship attempts..and the massive holes people blow in it every day.

[roschler]

True, but even if they can't regulate it, the telco's still mess it up! Look at your phone bill.

[olliethefisherman]

I love this! the songs sooo catchy, and the animation is soo cretave :) bravo

[roschler]

@olliethefisherman, thanks for the kind words!

[corado21]

[roschler]

[HIGGINS101]

[HIGGINS101]

[roschler]

@Higgins101, thanks!

[Laie]

Preserve internet neutrality!!!

[roschler]

[roschler]

@EricJaffa, thanks for that. I've updated the video link to point to that web page. I did submit this video to STI, but for some reason they never posted it on the site.

[EricJaffa]

My advice is to take out the text about Al Gore.

Many people concerned about Net Neutrality like Al Gore and think he got a raw deal when he was misquoted as saying he invented the internet.

[kuddlemeister]

please tell me WHY WHY WHY did Al Gore EVER say that he invented the internet...

[roschler]

Good question! :) He's latest movie proves he's a smart man who cares about the planet, but that quote, wow!

[Vincent1999]

where do you get this video i like to see the holl movie!:)

[roschler]

@Vincent1999, the animation footage is part of the open source "Elephants Dream" project. Visit this site and download the high definition version, it's better than Pixar!: http://www.elephantsdream.org/
