Cognitive dissonance.


About the ad-hom, well what else is there to do with him?
He is full of shite we all know it, we all seen he get trashed over and over and over again, but he still tries the exact same crap, and it has the exact same results as before, Einstein called those people crazy, he doesn't even try to evolve his arguments even in the face of direct factual proof of the contrary.]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130522/18103323179/filmmaker-behind-pirate-bay-documentary-says-bogus-dmca-takedowns-take-away-his-free-speech.shtml#c570 Thu, 23 May 2013 14:26:01 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130522/18103323179/filmmaker-behind-pirate-bay-documentary-says-bogus-dmca-takedowns-take-away-his-free-speech.shtml#c570 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130522/18103323179/filmmaker-behind-pirate-bay-documentary-says-bogus-dmca-takedowns-take-away-his-free-speech.shtml#c548 Thu, 23 May 2013 14:23:21 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130522/18103323179/filmmaker-behind-pirate-bay-documentary-says-bogus-dmca-takedowns-take-away-his-free-speech.shtml#c548
I have seen the documentary on national tv, in a country with some very strong anti-piracy alliances. If it had been found infringing, I guarantee that this would have created furour.

He created and distributed a documentary film about The Pirate Bay under a Creative Commons license. The MPAA and its associated studios have used a government-granted monopoly to have search results for the film stricken from Google in an attempt to prevent other people from seeing the film (despite having little-to-no claim over the copyrights for said film). That action reeks of an attempt to use copyright law in an attempt to stifle the speech of a critic (or, at the least, the speech of someone who said something the MPAA didn]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130522/10303023175/magic-hat-brewery-sues-west-sixth-brewing-using-number-six-their-logo.shtml#c11 Thu, 23 May 2013 14:18:56 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130522/10303023175/magic-hat-brewery-sues-west-sixth-brewing-using-number-six-their-logo.shtml#c11 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130522/18103323179/filmmaker-behind-pirate-bay-documentary-says-bogus-dmca-takedowns-take-away-his-free-speech.shtml#c495 Thu, 23 May 2013 14:18:42 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130522/18103323179/filmmaker-behind-pirate-bay-documentary-says-bogus-dmca-takedowns-take-away-his-free-speech.shtml#c495 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130522/18103323179/filmmaker-behind-pirate-bay-documentary-says-bogus-dmca-takedowns-take-away-his-free-speech.shtml#c489 Thu, 23 May 2013 14:18:29 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130522/18103323179/filmmaker-behind-pirate-bay-documentary-says-bogus-dmca-takedowns-take-away-his-free-speech.shtml#c489
