All of this communication explosion was created to as a means of starting a revolution, which will now be brought to a slow, controllable crawl...
1 reply · January 25, 2012 12:32:47
You know.... maybe. But for some people this revolution will bring and make boil. For some people the internet is the only free world there is. So why put rules on a free realm?? does the USA control de web ??? is it even a mater that can be possesed ??? you know, if they dont want content pirated, why even bother putting song's on a site where they know that it will be pirated by half a dozen million person ??? why would i not be allowed to share music that I have purchased ??? why can i not share somthing that I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT ??

Users of the net have decided to share common good and knowlege that they did buy why would we be targeted as pirates for trading acquired knowlege ??? are you saying that i do not own what i buy ???

so tell me world ??? why is file sharing is now illegal ???
Here is a situation. The uploader and the downloader. The thing is, the uploader will BUY THE ORIGINAL COPY then sharing it to the others. Is it wrong? Hell no! The copyright material industry still made a profits and it's increase from year to year and I can't see file sharing can destroy that industry. This is suck. SOPA and PIPA really suck.

You guys don't understand. This isn't really about piracy. It is an effort to shutdown the internet, at least the free exchange of ideas part of it.

this is practically step one chapter one of \"Corporate control of freedom for dummies\" I am honestly considering severing all ties to the internet because of this. as the saying goes

\"People shouldn\'t fear their governments, governments should fear their people\"

if SOPA, PIPA, or ACTA go live i say we cut straight to the chase. use DOS attacks on any corporation that supported those bills, riot, use snail mail to avoid detection. the men in suits won't look twice at a petition. if we want change we'll need to get our hands dirty.

This is stupid! ACTA, SOAP, PIPA IT\'S ALL HORRIBLE!!!!! why don\'t the government think about other peope? there\'s people out in this world who enjoys doing stuff on the internet that likes to express themselve and lifts up their stress. All that thing will be taken away because of the government and the unintelligent descision their making! If your reading, IT\'S NOT FAIR!!!!!!! and they said America was a free country....what a big DAMN LIE!

Fascism was founded during World War I by Italian national syndicalists who combined left-wing and right-wing political views, but Italian Fascism gravitated to the right in the early 1920s.

Italian Fascists described fascism as a right-wing ideology in the political program The Doctrine of Fascism.

Fascism promoted principles of masculine heroism, militarism and discipline, and rejected cultural pluralism and multiculturalism. Fascism has proved it is not one bit interested in the democratic process. The Christian right is a major political force in the West, supported by the Republican Party in the United States. This is born out in the Republican Debates.

Many topics of the debates are very bias in that. Fascism is the socialism of the rich in which the rich get together and cooperate to protect and keep their wealth and enforce their form of government on the poor. Let us never to go back to that!

Fascism is the socialism of the rich in which the rich get together and cooperate to protect and keep their wealth and enforce their form of government on the poor. Let us never to go back to that! __Ted Rudow III, MA ______

Yes, our freewheeling days on the net are numbered.
We had a good run at it. Now, it's just a matter of time before the media capitalists corner the politicians and the tech capitalists.

The gatekeepers are just reorganizing themselves online.

Buying (for example) music and then sharing it around your friends is unfair on the creator of that music. There are too many people on the web, pretending to be creative, who are simply hijacking the work of others to make themselves look cool.

In 1933, Senator Carter Glass (D-Va.) and Congressman Henry Steagall (D-Ala.) introduce the historic legislation that bears their name, seeking to limit the conflicts of interest created when commercial banks are permitted to underwrite stocks or bonds.

In the spring of 1987, the Federal Reserve Board votes 3-2 in favor of easing regulations under Glass-Steagall Act, overriding the opposition of Chairman Paul Volcker. In 1995, the House and Senate Banking Committees approve separate versions of legislation to get rid of Glass-Steagall, but conference negotiations on a compromise fall apart.
The Citicorp-Travelers merger, which thanks to the removal of Glass-Steagall enabled the formation of the financial behemoth known as Citigroup. But even behemoths are vulnerable; when the meltdown hit, the bank cut more than 50,000 jobs, and the taxpayers shelled out more than $45 billion to save it.

Does this mean that Facebook, along with all other websites would be shut down as well? If so then I totally disagree. People should have the right to go on Google and other sites because after all that is how most projects are developed. People go on Google everyday for many reasons. For some it may be as simple as to look up a song or how to put something together, and then for others it could be to find pictures for a project. If Google gets shut down then all those things wouldn\'t be available and it would change things academically for schools. Then there is Facebook which believe it or not can be a huge part of peoples social lives. There could be a girl/boy who isn\'t themselves in public but then on the internet when they use Facebook they can be themselves. it is a great way to get to know new people and if it is taken away then a part of peoples social life will get taken away.
