ISPs to Ban P2P With New European Telecom Package?
An anonymous reader writes "ZeroPaid is reporting that ISPs could be turned into the copyright police through European legislation that received a number of 'intellectual property' amendments. Many of these amendments can be found here. Judging by the amendments, ISPs could be mandated to block legitimate traffic in an effort to 'prevent' illegitimate traffic. To help stop this legislation, you can check out the action page. Additional coverage can be found on EDRI and Open Rights Group."
Instead of trampling over the rights of people (and this will effect the US also) everywhere by fucking up the communications, they should instead, be telling copyright holders, if you don't want your shit online, don't publish it.
And for people under the telco power, should be telling the telco to fuck off. Everyone globally should cancel, close out or let run out their accounts in protest. You don't need a fucking cell phone to survive, we didn't have that shit in the 70's!
Keep paying their bills and they will keep having the money to lobby your rights away. In the USA that's FISA, FISA will fuck up the 4th Amendment sure, but what people don't see is that it will also fuck up the 1ST Amendment. You can't have anonymous sources, if your being snooped on. IF you can't have anonymous sources, then you can't have freedom of speech. (Which is already fucked up by the fascist media anyway)
We should go back to hand delivery of everything.
Turn off the fucking networks.
Stop paying for CABLE, DSL, DIALUP or whatever the fuck you got.
Or else take it up the ass. And let them fuck you.
They are going to destroy the internet next. It's the last piece of the puzzle.
You can call me paranoid I don't give a shit what you think of me, just do the right thing for yourself.
Just like what happens every time mommy government makes more regulations and takes away more freedoms.
Its = possessive. It's = "it is"
