Cory Doctorow Says DIY Licensing Will Solve Piracy
An anonymous reader writes "The founding editor of Boing Boing, Cory Doctorow, has written a report about 'do-it-yourself' digital licensing, which he's touting as the panacea for piracy. Doctorow's solution for content creators is two-fold: get a Creative Commons license and append some basic text requiring those who re-use your work to pay you a percentage of their gross income. Doctorow refers to this as the middle ground between simply acquiring a Creative Commons license and hiring expensive lawyers for negotiations. He calls do-it-yourself licensing 'cheap and easy licensing that would turn yesterday's pirates into tomorrow's partners.'"
Gee, Dems have been shitting all over the CIA and the military for years, and now that we find out that Pelosi knew about what was happening at Gitmo, Obama conveniently agrees to block the release of pics of Islamic douchebags luxuriating in their tropical paradise instead of the sandy hell from whence they came.
I think that not only is Obama providing cover for Pelosi, but he's also afraid that someone inside the intelligence community might decide to reduce his longevity as repayment for yanking the carpet out from under their feet. You see, you can't ask the CIA to do something, rail against them in the media for 8 years while they do the thing you asked, and then remove their political cover when you finally get the power you've been so obviously desperate and frantic for since that douche Gore lost the WH. And make no mistake about it - several high-level Democrats knew exactly what was happening at Gitmo and approved of it privately while they shrieked about it publicly. And their media surrogates were only all too happy to not ask any questions and to go along with the charade.
That brings up another point. Forgive me if I don't shed any tears for the "mistreatment" of homicidal, misogynistic, misanthropic assholes that Islam seems to breed like rabbits. If anyone needs to be slapped around a little, it's some dude who thinks that a witch doctor gouging out his wife's clitoris is a reasonable action. We're talking about people who subscribe to a religion whose theology hasn't matured one bit since it's birth. They still preach expansion by violence and subjugation of all non-converts, just like their pedophile leader Mohammad did, God damn his miserable rotting corpse. So you think Islam means peace, huh? Well then I challenge you to walk into a mosque in Afghanistan and tell them that you are an apostate and see if they don't stone you to death on the spot. Do we really want such people gaining a foothold in a real civilization based on individual liberty and mutual respect?
