I gave reading Darryl's posts awhile ago...now they just make my mouse roller finger tired.
Lol. He could call it "Darryl's Delusions" or "Verbal Diarrhea".
The results are the same: the site stays down. End.
Translation: "We will force these damn pirates back into the 80's by any means, legal or otherwise, so they have to buy our shiny discs."
Sorry, trying to shove all the evil back into Pandora's Box isn't going to work.
Above comment is mine. Browser freaked and decided to make me an AC. :(

COICA is about protecting creators from having their work taken.
Wow. I didn't know that this bill was about protecting artists from the legacy gatekeepers. /sarc
Techdirt is about Mike Masnick and his lying, fear-mongering bs about the bill and just about anything else to do with intellectual property.
Of course...anyone who disagrees with your point of view is lying and fear-mongering. That's a typical response of someone who has nothing to argue with except "Because I said so"
Keep at it all you want, Masnick. We're not going to let your lies become hivemind.
I haven't got a clue what a hivemind is, but you are certainly not going to stop me from becoming educated on all sides of issues so I can make up my own mind.
That's not a record - that's standard operating procedure.
I gave the DMCA's definition of service providers that are granted "safe harbor" on the internet (although this article is about Canada I know) because that is what I think the article was referring to. An ISP would be considered a service provider as would Google (and I assume Netflix - but not sure) under the DMCA.
Its really funny, that you resort to Wikipedia for factual information LOL..
Whoops...that was a response to

What is sad is that the majority of lawyers have very little passion for the issues they represent. Its money driven rather than principle driven...
It also sad that the management of the entertainment industries seem to think this way too...that the ONLY motivation for creating art is money.
Wow. Quite a rant there.
Have you ever heard of the terms "working poor" or "underemployed". You do realize that the US unemployment is a staggering 9.3% (and is much worse in certain areas)?
Well now...looking back at older comments I'm not so sure new Darryl isn't old Darryl. Maybe just Darryl in a more lucid moment.
Let me put it this way. If you are a new Darryl then my apology stands, otherwise my apology is retracted. That should cover my bases.
Ooof...perhaps you are correct nasch. I see darryl at the top of a post and I tend to skim it quickly.
Darryl, I apologize sincerely for my above post. It was a build up from a whole bunch of darryl's posts lately.
Darryl, your village called, they seem to have lost their idiot.
How about the DMCA definition of "service providers":
These categories are (listed by kind of services provided):
1. Transitory communications (meaning that the provider merely transmits, routs or provides connections for material coming through a system);
2. System caching (meaning that the provider provides temporary storage of such material);
3. Storage of materials at the direction of a user (meaning that the provider is one who hosts sites or runs mailing lists, news groups, chat and the like); and
4. Information location tools (meaning that the provider is a search engine facility).
This is a nice way of putting "are you stupid or lying".
Ok, I'm play along with this iceberg analogy....
Blast the first iceberg and create a seismic event that breaks off a huge chunk of the ice shelf and then suddenly you have thousands of icebergs bearing down on you.
That makes a lot of sense....
Many, if not all, of *his* current problems are his own doing. Wikileaks does not require a face to accomplish its stated goal, he simply wants to be a face. and he has got his dream. He is the center of global attention. "Look at me now bitch! Defy me I dare you."
I get the impression that Assange is more like Wikileak's Zaphod Beeblebrox:
"Zaphod has two heads, three arms and is "clever, imaginative, irresponsible, untrustworthy, extrovert, nothing you couldn't have guessed". He was also briefly President of the Galaxy. His responsibility in that position was to draw attention away from the true rulers of the universe. To that end, Zaphod and his outrageous behavior were highly successful."

Yeah, they'll give his money back at a time and place determined by INTERPOL I'm sure.

Oh look, another round for the Cult of Assange.
lolwut?
More attacks on Sweden I see. Nice!
Attacks? So the exposure of truths that you don't want exposed are to be labeled as "attacks" now?
