  Re: Re: Re: Re: Re:

  Your comment reminded me of this:
  
  Memories lost in a nation's sleep
  In the dreams of contented sheep
  Can we ever hope to find solutions
  When our country has sold the Constitution
  
  All too wrong to be right
  The answer's there, we just lack the sight
  Race wars fed by prejudice and fright
  The love of a nation for its people
  burned through the night

  "if it was automatically created"
  Does not matter if a billy goat initiated the request it is the accuser that needs to confirm if their request is accurate.
  
  In case you missed it:

  Re:

  What spin? The poor ISP blocks what they think is reasonable due to a court order, and then they get their hand slapped for blocking too much. Damned if you do and damned if you don't.
  
  Because ya know, all of the US's laws are clearly spelled out and not open to interpretation. /s

  Re: Re: Re: Re: Re:

  " Seems like the only thing it hurts is your ability to pirate other people's property."
  
  Um.. douche... it has no bearing on pirates. You can have all the IP and death penalties you want, and piracy still happens.
  
  "they create the property that you guys love so much you're willing to violate other people's rights to get it."
  You ass-u-me too much grasshopper. Your ilk look at anyone with alternate views as a pirate, and immediately assume, incorrectly, that we all have BT clients running and are downloading shit all the time. So sad, grasshopper. What a shitty world view.
  
  " How just admit that you can't get enough copyrighted works, and meet somewhere in the middle?"
  You need to tell this to the content industry. They went wayyyyyyyyy past middle a long long time ago. We are just struggling to get back to middle. Sheesh indeed.

  Re: Re: Re:

  There are laws that make sense and those that dont. Like it being illegal to sit on top of a fridge outside.
  http://www.squidoo.com/dumbcrazylaws
  
  Copyright is one of them. When you try to get 150000 for sharing 3 songs the populace realizes how absurd it is and the industry that pushes for crazy shit like loses all respect with people.
  
  The entertainment industry has cried wolf for EVERY STINKIN new piece of technology that hey have ended up benefiting from.
  
  They blew it with Napster. They had the chance to tap into millions upon millions of kids with a monthly service fee if they had made N legit. But nooooooo.
  
  ITS NOT ABOUT MONEY IT'S ABOUT CONTROLL. (Yeah I know)
  
  IP is a joke. It has been made so by the industry. Life +70. People see that and realize how absolutely asinine that is and don't respect it.
  
  It not about protecting content creators. Its about locking up rights for as long as possible so the corporations can control it.
  
  Its OK. I know YOU obeyed every law of the land this week right?
  Didnt j-walk, didnt go over the speed limit, didnt litter, didnt spit, etc, and on and on.
  BULLSHIT!!!!
  
  So what Mike advocates and I agree with this whole-heatedly is sensible IP. 5-7 years. If you cant make money or bring something to market within that time, it is time to let someone that can. Peace.

• On the post: Is Facebook's Facial Recognition That Scary?

  

  weneedhelp ( profile ), 10 Aug, 2012 @ 07:45am

  Where does it stop?

  Pretty soon FR will be incorporated in to the surveillance grid that is being set up so every move is tracked. Then there is the tag tracking software the will follow your car on the freeway and every other road that has cameras. They will track your financial records. They follow you through your phone. When do we stop it? When will enough be enough?
  
  I am not a farm animal to be tagged and tracked.

  Remote in America, yeah right.
