Will Facebook and Youtube be blocked in Ireland now? This decision seems ridiculous to me.

[toyotaprius79]

Sean Sherlcock.

You better hide yourself from the Irish public!

To a man who has no basic background of IT and is only a puppet of the corrupted entertainment industries. He's a huge obstacle to our economy's recovery.

What happen to Google and Facebook Ireland? Who are seen as complete violators to these industries' copyrights. These internet giants who are huge employers are likely to pack up and leave us.

Protect your computer well Sherlcock. (If you have a computer in fact)

[thekeythesecret999]

oh my god ! this guy is a fucking CLOWN !

[TheGoldenFishHook]

fuck anyone in ireland with a computer is screwed

[ripedreality]

why in the world are we only allowed to talk about it for a couple of minutes

[itoldyousoisaid]

Great to see such rigorous debate over such an important issue. 3 FUCKING PPL where is all the rest of them empty fucking suits! Fuck the fucking "music industry" all they're doing is destroying music anyway let them fuck off we don't need them. 1000's of Irish ppl cant hardly pay their mortgages and i see no bills being passed to sort that one out. No no all soo worried about the fucking music industry - bollix to all this.

[itoldyousoisaid]

The time has come for US ALL to take to the streets en masses 1,000,000+ - before its too late.  Sovereignty gone since 2010 and now freedom of speech going.. im not going down without a fight that's for fucking sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[coloded]

Im just glad this is starting to get a voice. Scary stuff!

[itoldyousoisaid]

@coloded What three people talking about it? that's no voice and anyway its only theater for the masses as usual. Don't think those two deputies are on YOUR side either - cause they aint!

[SourceBoltMedia]

This is pretty vague, will this act/bill just block websites, and filter content in the ISP centres? If that's so, then this won't affect me dramatically, and many other people.

[itoldyousoisaid]

@SourceBoltMedia Won't effect you WAKE THE FUCK UP. If the powers that be don't like what someone is saying - lets be crazy for a minute and imagine someone doesn't like the government or their banker masters - then that site and its owner are gone. Anyway its just incrementally stripping away freedom of speech ACTA is worse sure but this is the trend if we don't stop this shit

[SourceBoltMedia]

@itoldyousoisaid Won't affect me 'dramatically'; I never said that it wont precisely, YOU read the comment properly before responding. If it contains copyrighted content, infringing peoples rights, then it should be taken down. They won't take it down without a reason, how will that look in court? *rhetorical, don't answer* The Irish bill isn't extraordinarily going to ruin our lives, overreaction. Of course this shouldn't go through, but IF it does.. no big deal. ACTA is something else...

[Diamonddavej]

@SourceBoltMedia Did you ever hear of a company called Trafigura? No, guessed you didn't. They were responsible for a toxic spill in Côte d'Ivoire that sickened thousands, but they got a "Super Injunction" that blocked all mention of the spill on UK TV, Websites & Papers.

If this legislation passes, it wont be a Lady Gaga song that gets blocked, but free speech that criticises politicians, companies, cults etc.

And look up DMCA Abuse, they do take down things for no reason.

[SourceBoltMedia]

@Diamonddavej Yes, this is the case in many countries. Corruption is getting the better of people unfortunately.

This is still all a slight bit foggy in terms of what the act/bill/legislation is going to do to our every day lives.

[SourceBoltMedia]

@Diamonddavej Interesting.. thank you for the video.

[nuktu]

Entertainment industry's business model is outdated. Thats why they are pushing for laws.

[Darragh094]

What nobody in the dail gets Is that if this bill is passed their Internet use will be monitored 24/7

[randomovertone]

There are already laws in place to deal with injunctions towards websites. Acta isn't SOPA. Its worse! I'll admit the newer draft of the bill is less draconian but hell, its no where near acceptable.

How can He actually stand there and say that all were doing is bringing us into line with europe.

[silageman]

this is a waste of time, it will cost us more money in the long run, get back to sorting out our economy first you clown google &facebook will fuck off out of the country, after all google own youtube and is the biggest copyright infringer there is, even if this is brought in their are loads of ways to easily bypasses a blocked dns free and easy for everyone.

[DaithiDublin]

Sherlock is hiding behind 'EU directives' in hopes of disguising his own obvious ignorance of the issues at hand. The European Court of Justice later ruled that the directive he says he is trying to be in compliance with was in breach of other EU e-commerce directives. His ignorance on all counts, and his initial willingness to abuse democratic processes should see this scrawny fart loose his seat.

[TheEuropeanAgenda]

JUST TO PISS THEM OFF: If these laws are passed you can do the following: download Firefox and "Tor Browser" (download the full bundle). Then in your torrent software encrypt the data (in utorrent) under preferences>Bit Torrent> Protocol Encryption> Enabled. Also allow incoming legacy connections. And on the same menu don't forget to change your reported IP address to.......

[TheEuropeanAgenda]

40,000+ signatures and that's the attendance in the Dail?!? Bastards.

[TheGaffie]

Another law thats just simply gonna get passed. after all this is ireland, we don't protest enough! This month has being crazy, septic tank fees, new tv broadcasting fee, water charges, 2nd home charge, 2% vat increase, when will all this madness end. bleeding the country dry.

[DarkerDai]

Also, IRMA claims that illegal downloading has cost the recording business millions over the last five years. What else could have damaged their profits? A global recession? A move from physical CD's to digital downloads? Artists promoting themselves of social media sites? An outdated business model? Four companies have a strangle hold on the recording industry (Sony, Warner, Universal and Hollywood Records). This is an oligopoly.

SIGN THE PETITION

[DarkerDai]

'This is a restatment of what the Irish Government held to be the case anyway.' Well according to Justice Charleton it is not (EMI v. UPC). Also, do you really want to support a company that installed Rootkits on their CD's and put thousands of peoples information at risk (Sony BMG). IRMA claim that illegal downloading have cost the record companies millions in the last five years.

[TheIronParasite]

I dont get why there trying to do this, fair enough, artists do have the right to generate money from what they make, but if people aren't going to pay for your work, there not going to, Say for example, if 100 people bought ur cd for a fiver and 10 people downloaded it off the internet you would make 500 euro, if acta passes the same 100 people will still buy the cd, and the 10 wont, you stil get the 500.

[angrygoldfish]

Wow. He's just talking jiberish. I don't even think he fully understands what he's talking about and what this will mean for 6 million people. It's a joke.

[DoyIer]

What a cunt.

[gavinwizard]

I SWEAR if he lets this true ILL MAKE THE BASTARD UNEMPLYOED AND LOSE EVERYTHING

[delacaravanio]

How long before a judge injuncts youtube?

[peter0882003]

What a waffling, snivelling slimesucking weevil. I wonder how much lobbying has been going on in the background.

[Alyxm]

In other words, Internet service providers, are not to be held accountable for the media industries not making changes to their products to prevent them from being shared which according to them and not to anyone with the government of law making, hurts their income, according to them.

[Alyxm]

At 11:05 When Sherlock Speaks. He says, no court can tell a isp to monitor anyone, right, theres also this law "The internet as a fundamental human right in Ireland

ALTO's chairman Ronan Lupton said ALTO respects the rights of intellectual property holders.

“However, communications companies should not be held accountable in circumstances where intellectual property rights holders have blatantly failed to move with the times and protect their own business models." In other words -> next comment

[DeputySeanSherlock]

uhhh aa...caaa.......haaa...faaaa..­.. i can't talk in this video... cause i'm a retard.

[Alyxm]

@DeputySeanSherlock you should say you eat babies and enslave people

[DeputySeanSherlock]

I'm a total utter gobshite!!!!!!!

[Alyxm]

Is it me or does he look like hes sweating?

[IgnExtra]

Doesn't make a difference to me, i can easily bypass it. But for sean sherlock shame on you for ignoring the irish people!

[itoldyousoisaid]

@IgnExtra @IgnExtra That's not the point, so you can pass it with ssl or ip forwarding or whatever - for now anyway. The internet will end up as a completely corporate run entity - THEY are scared shitless of the alternative media because ppl are waking up everyday to the banker scumbags behind all this shit

[IgnExtra]

@itoldyousoisaid @itoldyousoisaid I have friends in american with super fast vpn's i use it for thepiratebay>.<org and other blocked sites with super fast speeds ;) so im good to go, sean sherlock is a gobshite end of... but it wont effect me. :)

[ripedreality]

@IgnExtra yes but if acta is signed mafiaafire and other dns blocked redirectors will be illegal.all means of cercumventing will be ilegal.come to the march

[MCDEVVOMAN]

@IgnExtra how?

[PivotDreamArt]

@MCDEVVOMAN typing in the websites ip

[MCDEVVOMAN]

@PivotDreamArt that doesnt work.. i.p. for megaupload is 107.21.243.42 ... type it in it doesnt work :(

[MegaGreendayrock]

Stop SOPA and save the internet in ireland!!!!

[feargalkarney]

Sean Sherlock is a ballbag

[undertaker3134]

There won't be protests until uninformed people REALLY get to grips with consequences caused by this.

[paddymigeenty]

wtf?



[cheeseking27]

I would like to say i'm surprised there are so few people present.

[spacedog200]

The Charlton Judgement was that under Irish law, UPC should not censor the internet at the request of IRMA. According to Sherlock, this means we should change the law to reverse this decision to be in line with one of several conflicting European directives on the matter.

Judges apply the law, they don't write it, we do.

[uglylittlerichkids]

Your a markerd man you cunt sherlock...

[gav161]

What a fucking gobshite!

[tombafan]

there is gonna be huge protest if this goes through... :(

[stvlite]

"I don't have a speech" (so I'm gonna make up shite from the top of my stupid head.) - Sean Sherlock. This video consists of 2 minutes of him going ermmmmmmmmmmmm.. His draft explains nothing.

[spacejesusadventure]

[iluke95]
