thank you .. u have just proven to us [anonymous, 99.99% and everyone] how you use social engineering to hide the truth about what canada is and rest of info on ruling class british imperial elite system and rest of 0.01%
whether you like it or not the info is getting out and 100s of millions are tuning in, they in turn are spreading it to everyone they know
your bullshit bills, legislation, acts and rest are all part of governing the populace .. and this is not acceptable any more.
get ready , the world as you know it is about to change. simply put, you don’t adapt and you die.
these are the universal , natural and common laws .. we have compiled them from all over the world and beyond
welcome to the info war and subsequent elimination of ruling class of 1000s of yrs

The U.S. government has been at war with it’s citizens for years.
http://thefrogmouth.blogspot.com/2011/09/governments-undeclared-war.html
Both the government AND corporations have been bitching for years that the internet is “the wild west” and needs “controls”. This bill is a wet dream for both, although it could wind up being a headache for big IT corps like Google.
It’s depressing that every time some MAFIAA groups bill doesn’t pass they come back with a WORSE one. Hopefully there will be enough public outcry to see this shitcanned, but even if it is look for more to come.

I’m almost certain that the “Rogue site buster”s were merely practicing sarcasm.

That said, I wouldn’t be surprised that under such horrible laws, even copying with consent could be easily dragged into legal challenges and highly costly court battles.

London police using surveillance system to monitor mobile phones
http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2011/oct/30/metropolitan-police-mobile-phone-surveillance

Britain’s largest police force is operating covert surveillance technology that can masquerade as a mobile phone network, transmitting a signal that allows authorities to shut off phones remotely, intercept communications and gather data about thousands of users in a targeted area.

The surveillance system has been procured by the Metropolitan police from Leeds-based company Datong plc, which counts the US Secret Service, the Ministry of Defence and regimes in the Middle East among its customers. Strictly classified under government protocol as “Listed X”, it can emit a signal over an area of up to an estimated 10 sq km, forcing hundreds of mobile phones per minute to release their unique IMSI and IMEI identity codes, which can be used to track a person’s movements in real time.

The disclosure has caused concern among lawyers and privacy groups that large numbers of innocent people could be unwittingly implicated in covert intelligence gathering. The Met has refused to confirm whether the system is used in public order situations, such as during large protests or demonstrations. …Continues in greater detail…

Never ends, eh?

What else would you expect from a government by the corporations, for the corporations? The so called “public”, or “people” if you will, are as irrelevant as their opinions and desires. Welcome to the millionth iteration of fascism. Oh, they try to dress it up in new ways to hide what’s underneath, but I’m not fooled. Expect things to get far worse over the years as they quietly accumulate all the wealth and power they possibly can. Will it take another world war for people to wake up to the fact that they should be ashamed for doing nothing when they had their chance? History likes to repeat itself repeatedly, so I say yes.

This is a criminal issue over which Mike has no control. PROTECT IP/SOPA says so.

Already Sony Music entertainment is claiming copyright of MY RECORDING!!! of MY MUSIC! to which they have not a shred of a right! This caused youtube to block access to my video in Germany!

(SME confirmed that this is their stuff said the response to my complaint from youtube! Talk about a pack of thieves!)

I AM NOT KIDDING!

But I am not alone. If you look at the youtube blogs you will notice that there is a lot of such complaints against mostly Sony having stuff they don’t owe blocked in Germany. Why only in Germany? I don’t know but it is pretty enraging! It is time to evict all these nasty corporation out of the net!

If such a bill pass it will no longer be possible to publish anything personal on the net without dealing with one of the big corporations first.

HOW OUTRAGEOUS IS THAT?

@Rogue:

“You just copied/pasted and entire Techdirt post with no effort to compensate Mike”

1) Mike was accredited right from the first sentence.
2) If you visit Techdirt at all, you would know Mike wants his posts copied (whether wholly, or in part) and spread around.

There is no way to filter web content when others, other than the site owner. publishes on a web page. Lets take some examples:

YouTube:

Joe owns a video camera. Joe asks a video outfit (OUTFIT) to make a video of Joe speaking. Joe pays for the video and gets a copy.
Because Joe knows nothing about how dumb copyright law is (and OUTFIT conveniently fails to discuss copyright rules to Joe) the video is made without a contract and the copyright ends up, in theory, belonging to OUTFIT. Joe places the video on YouTube, asserting he is the copyright holder, a fact Joe honestly believes, since he paid for the making of the video. Of course, there is no way for YouTube to know that Joe is infringing himself when placing the OUTFIT owned video he paid for of himself.

P2Pnet like site
Joe writes a poem and places the poem on a web site that allows postings. The poem is similar to a poem by author X. Joe had never read X’s poem. It is debatable if Joe’s poem is too similar to X’s poem. Of course, there is no way for the website owner to know that Joe’s poem similar to X’s poem, let alone that Joe is infringing that poem.

Photo site:
Joe asks a unknown Parisian to take a picture of him in front of the Eiffel Tower, with Joe’s camera. Again due to the dumb copyright law, the photo belongs to the Parisian and any use of the photo must comply with french copyright laws. Anyway, when Joe gets back home he places the photo on a photo web site. While doing so he claims he owns the photo, even though he never got the Parisian to sign any papers to transfer the ownership of the photo. After all, it was taken with his camera, he knows nothing about french copyright law. Of course, there is no way for the website owner to know that Joe photo copyright does not belong to Joe, let alone that Joe is infringing that photo of himself taken with his camera.

Case closed. Any attempt to penalize web site owners because the owner gives the Joe’s of this world the opportunity to freely publish what they own (or what they think logically they own) is extremely dumb, particularly at a time that the 99% are protesting for what government has done to favor the 1%. A piece of advise to the 1%: Watch out, things can become violent, against you and your Congress cohorts.

This ones’ for Indiana Gregg.

Her Collection agency ( as she once told us ) is PPL in the UK and she knew of no ‘troubling’ actions from them.

Extorting from a Hardware store that DOESN”T PLAY ANY MUSIC.

At least, Indiana’s a millionaire and doesn’t have to worry about such things.
