they can try...I can forsee another UK-wide riot if they do.
normally I laugh at satire like this...but as a UK citizen...I don;;t think this is anything to laugh about.
too true...so true...makes me feel sick thinking about how our government rolls over
When I saw this, I left him a post on his facebook, pointing out the many holes in his arguement. I mentioned how file sharing sites tend to bre villainized despite breaking their spines trying to bend over backwards to please the industry...how he should have looked at his own staff in 2009 when his song was leaked instead of the 'pirates' and most of all...how insulting his fans will not make them wanna buy his songs.
My post was deleted after 1 minute.
Where does it say the law won;t be enforced till 2013?
Link please to that info.
Hollywood is pro-internet? AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH...I didnt know Chris dodd was a ameteur comedian cause that HAS to be a joke right there.
True...but I don;t think he'll find it as easy to bribe now.
I believe rule one of political bribery is, written in 6 foot high letters of granite is: DON;T EVER ADMIT IT ON NATIONAL TELEVISION...even if the channel was Fox News.
His capitol hill pals...the ones with brain cells will probably be trying to forget they know him.
What I mean is...it shows a world where corporations ARE the government...you know...lie what the MPAA and RIAA would love to exist so they could censor the net as much as they want
I like your thinking...if only I knew where to send the suggestion
Your friend sounds like he is sensible. He should be leading the MPAA instead of Chris Dodd
you forget...this is Chris Dodd we're talking about.
The sad thing is...I saw the trailer for the new Syndicate game a few days ago...of a world where corporations make the law...and I thought that with all the 'Chris dodd's' and copyright-happy polititians who do whatever hollywood says, that it may be closer then it appears.
Agreed...every time Chris Dodd speaks, a lolcat dies.
You forget, Mike. Mr Dodd is a luddite moron with less knowledge of how the internet and digital age actually works then a cat thats been run over by a tank.
Good for him...even if he;s only doing it from public pressure...its nice to see a polititian stand up to the people who want the internet censored.
'Techdirt readers don't yet have the capability to make clueless government officials get transferred to jobs washing toilets, officials say. But, if the community there develops or acquires it, dumb politicians being out of work would become far more likely, according to political pundits'
Hahahaha...that bulletpount made me smile, mike. Nice one. If only that could happen.
...this has to be a joke...Either that or the German Media Control Authority has officially lost its collective marbles.
Its also proof that automated system FAIL.
the same reason that Chris dodd and the MPAA haven;t been arrested for corruption and bribery
Re: Plebs
that presumes that the US government cares about the law in other countries
