  Git with it!

  I'd work around it, throw your own stuff up on your github and send tweets that link to it around the world ... done.
  That'll also bring more peeps attention to your github "profile" where some of your code & works are in a word, showcased. :) Ya never know, it might lead to greater things down the road. 'git 'er done.

  Hold it. What are you reading?

  With half a dozen open books spread around various key spots in the habitant ring, one is never short of reading anything. Surprisingly people do ask, how do you keep the stories all straight in your head? I never understood this, its all compartmentalized isnt' it? Reading goes faster if you don't sweat comprehension. Reality depends on the book I am currently reading. I just know one day books will be able to read my mind. Meanwhiles The Right to Read is well worth your time.

  Chains to the manacles.

  Links huh? Bad links? Oh hai click a link then do tracert on it Yikes... it sure has to go thru a lot of links to get to the bad link that serves up the actual NastyFile huh? Oh maybe that path it has to follow thru links "read IPs" should make each and every transport point an infringement since each one in turn links to another link (read IPs) until ultimately it arrives at the linky link thats deemed nasty bad awful no good link called infringement. Yoikes! Ma ma, O noes, teh intarwebs haz grow'd razor wire!!!
  
  > IMHO Links GOOD
  > Infringe Files BAD
  
  If little Johnny links to a bunch of files on some server thats chock fulla infringing file, no blame, no shame. One hundred percent plus innocent.
  
  If little Johnny uploads an infringing file to some server thats chock fulla infringementals, bad bad Johnny, shameful boy U shall get no pie.
  
  Now, little Johnny is just one boy. Uploading one bad file. No shame no blame. We know he'll just share 'em with his friends and fambly not entire planet.
  
  However, if little Johnny decided to be a comercial outfit and upload thousands upon thousands of copies of nastybadfile to hundreds of servers to make a profit from direct sales of things that he did not himself make. Ut Ut Oh Oh we can haz big bad problem, M'kay? LawSharks get hungry and they like raw meats.
  
  They still weld heavy steel ball things on the other end of the chain from the manacles amirite?

  World Victimization!

  Instead we get things like this SurfTheChannel 4 Years in Clink, problem instead where they go after imaginary infringers with "Conspiracy" charges just because they'll stick better when all else fails. And yeah even if you're not from U.S.A. it appears they'll extradite peons just because they can. Its F--kin insane! No one is safe. This Chilling Effect Must DIAF!

  Labels Stink.

  Its past time to cut the middle men "labels" out and establish your own spearheaded by the Artists themselves; preferably a well oiled coalition cell of established Artisans, be it music, movies or books or what have you and spread the love.
  
  Let the big incumbent labels stew in their own juices when they realize Artists can be smart and inovative enough to establish their own public relations machina, virtual storefronts that aren't dictated to by the RIAA or MPAA. That is unless you want to contribute to the problem of imaginary theivery from both ends where profit goes directly into the court systems.

  -BitchForks!-

  Now good luck tryna convince me to buy an eReader, any eReader I think I've been totally burnt on the concept.
  Sticking to dead trees seems to make the most sense; since those are MINE and I can loan them lend them, rip them up reorganize them or whatever I choose to do with them, as I so wish and all your publishing houses and authors guilds and whaterver can go pound sand. Nyah Nyah..!.

And I'm pretty damn sure those warrants will be needed outside of the United States. So youse federales STFU and git outa my part of the America's!

  Bah screw this I'm not going to buy an eReader or ebooks after all. Dead Tree Editions ONLY.
  Meanwhiles... your self serving "Authors Guild" pissants are on my DO NOT BUY FROM EVER list.
  You just suicided your sales. Major FU!
  My books, I own them.
  No Bookstore/vendor nor the author can take them away from me.
  I can loan them to whomever I wish for however long I wish and the author can go pound sand.!..

• On the post: Netflix To Try Crowdsourcing Subtitles; Will It Get Sued For Infringement?

  

  ebilrawkscientist ( profile ), 03 Aug, 2012 @ 08:40am

  On the bright side...

  XBMC is one of those places where crowd sourcing works wonderfully. Gotta love subtitles even if they don't synch up quite perfectly right off they're doing a fantastic job. So, shout outs to all those who've been making plugin's and add-ons, linking up shows and putting up subtitles! A great big Thank You to all of you from all of us! Special thanks to addic7ted, sc0rp, and the gang! Keep 'em commin'. Kudo's to Navi-X, Ice Films, Project FreeTV, 1Channel. You know who you are. We Love You!
