MegaUpload was in compliance with the DMCA actually, removing all files that were reportedly infringed. It isn't their fault that people upload faster than they can search and delete. How much of the content on YouTube is actually original content? YouTube was born from the very concept of sharing content. The biggest…
Serious?! I don't understand why people think like this. This blinding thought process isn't letting you see the bigger picture and will allow crap like this to be passed. Do you really think the President does things for the people? Not anymore buddy. It's all about protecting his investments. He also said he was going to…
You are the true idiot here, imbecil. I did a fan artwork based on a concept doing modications, and as the author of the model i have the rights over my work, not the design. I have all the rights to show my work. Too many shops use the logos of staedtler and Milan, and google is the first one showing photos with their…
Here's another one to get worked up about, it's called ACTA and seems to have been in the works for a while now. https://www.eff.org/issues/acta http://www.stopacta.info/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Counterfeiting_Trade_Agreement All of this crap because long ago the people making movies didn't want the government to…
great. the americans managed to bleed their version of hell to death, now we apparently have to join the party. at least the americans can put pressure on their government as a people. we can't, or at least, most europeans just don't care enough to do so.…
I thought this was pretty informative as someone in another country who has had very little exposure to this whole business. http://spoonyexperiment.com/ The top video (Trip to LA, Stop SOPA) discusses the crew from from Channel Awesome (That Guy With the Glasses et al) going to Washington to meet with various senator…
Snader, that's precisely because i don't support SOPA at all as i already said. They need to make changes. The actual SOPA/PIPA IS AN ABSURD. fileserve and other similar webs such as megaupload are changing, they stopped paying their premium users per amount of downloads. I personally use dropbox and icloud, so better to…
that's a good point, but what some DRM and piracy protections are doing is criminal. Compared to real world, if i have a digital copy of a game, that i bought, shouldn't i have the same power as i do with a physical copy? i mean, do i get to let my friends borrow it? no, just things like this is what worries me about the…
Mark I listened to the same parts yesterday and yeah it would be easy to get around all this and I'm concerned with the overall bullshit that goes along with this like the loss of free speech, more govt control, etc. What is there to prevent someone using clips from say Alex Jones, with the Occupy movement, other news…
Don't think anyone is really pro piracy, but the legislation under consideration and the general state of copyright law just doesn't allow for a sane solution that would both stop meaningful piracy while at the same time providing freedom of expression and sharing. Fine, block torrent sites and take measures against clear…
