A small improvement indeed but necessary in the long run, changes like those will show the rest of the world how a society can work without extreme copyright protectionism. Now I wonder how the copyright cartels will respond to this.
It seems that for them copyright is like religion and the diplomats are the missionaries spreading the word, I guess the next thing is the copyright inquisition...
...before copyright thugs, errr... I mean lobbysts flip out and "talk some sense" to them in order to drop those copyright reform proposals and/or change them into the very opposite?
And by reading your "blargha flargha" I just proved you are a JACKASS.
First of all, Mike didn't write the article, if you had bothered to read the article instead of quote mining it, you could have comprehended the content of the article instead of making vapid comments.
Second, the article shows how the MAFIAA is desperate to keep their arcaic business model from dying by lobbying for laws/treaties/agreements which evidently trumps over basic rights.
It's not that Mike or anybody else here (including me) are seeking to benefit from what simpletons like you want to present as "trumping over creator's rights", the MPAA/RIAA are NOT creators, they are CORPORATE PIMPS, they dont create a shit, artists do it, not the MAFIAA.
And the last thing, calling Mike a lobbyst (despite the fact he didnt write the article to begin with) is completely asinine and it does not prove in any case your point unless you can DEMONSTRATE that by merely sharing a file a person can get a tangible benefit.
I think the rumors were debunked by some people who sent e-mails to Hasbro regarding the rumor, and from what they tell, Hasbro has no plans to be bought by Disney, I'll try to provide links later.
"Freedom of expression"
"Separation of church and state"
The first amendement says; "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
Also, the First Amendment to the United States Constitution provides that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof ...."
Also, Article VI specifies that "no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States."
Meaning; the goverment must remain neutral towards religion, the goverment cannot give special treatmen to one religion over another religion or the lack of a religion.
But of course!
You have no idea how many sells were lost because of a song can be heard playing on the radio cars in a meteorite falling video!

Re:
Tries to troll MLP fans on a non-MLP website....
FAIL TROLL IS FAIL...
Now I wait for the usual simpletons like ootb, bob and average joe to come and make their usual ramblings without reading the article.
I didn't know who these asshats were before, and now I'm sure I won't support them by watching anything they make.
Great way to make fans indeed...
How long...

Nice chronology
This article is quite detailed on the sequence of events regarding ACTA.
If only this were the same case with the TPP, unfortunately, as far as I can see, people has been really quiet on that one.
I still hope the TPP can be stopped somehow....

Re: Re: Re: Horse manure! Without the creator, the public gets nothing
You made my day with this.
Its a small improvement
But sadly, the TPP negotiations are even more secretive than CETA negotiations....
