When I think "Socialism" I think of a properly direct democracy where everyone has a say in the political system, where everyone in the nation participates. Believe it or not, little old Cuba actually had 9 million of its 11 million population participated in a long (months to years long) national debate and decision to determine how private capitalism can be expanded in the country. If we had THAT kind of Socialism, the debate about what to do about online piracy would be open to full national participation, not left to be decided and forced upon us by a few key industries and the corporate-sponsored government. I'm not gonna say more on the subject, other than that you may want to check out Marxian economist Richard D Wolff to get a better understanding of the difference between Capitalist systems and Socialist/Communist systems. Back on topic: Down with SOPA, down with PIPA, down with malicious short-sighted legislation. If this happened in any other country, the US media would call out the government setting up these laws as a fascist dictatorship that doesn't consider it's people and their rights. And yet here we are, staring down the barrel of a bill that is going to ruin the internet for everyone but corporate attack-dog lawyers. |

![]() So if you're foolish enough to believe that Sony Music has 3x supporters and thus the whole of Sony, including SOE, supports SOPA, then I will be foolish enough to believe that because SOE CEO's private FB page indicates he's against it, that SOE itself - and thus the whole of Sony - is against SOPA. It appears, sir, that we are at an impasse. Fisticuffs at dawn? |

I'm glad to know that SOE is on the right side of the struggle, but it just seems to me like a conflict of interest underneath the Sony umbrella for Music divisions to support it and the Games division to reject it. So if I'm punching you with one hand and calling an ambulance with the other hand... aww forget it. Corporate bureaucracy is a big nasty beast. Good for SOE to be against it these bills! |

So, flipping through the channels I see a piece of news on some channel I forgot what about Mega Upload being charged by the US for piracy. Total segment was less than 30 seconds long.
Look it up now on the PC and I find, http://torrentfreak.com/megaupload-shut-down-120119/
Edit: WTH? --Deleted a section of my post-- BTW: More concrete details: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-16642369 Edit 2: My brother just had me look up Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA). All I can say is holy shit. Last edited by Kran De Loy; 2012-01-24 at 04:17 AM. |
