EU Passes Resolution Against ITU Asserting Control Over Internet

An anonymous reader writes "Today, the European Parliament passed a resolution that condemns the upcoming attempt from the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) to assert control over the Internet, and instructed its 27 Member States to act accordingly. This follows an attempt from the ITU to assert itself as the governing body and control the Internet. From the article: 'The resolution, which was passed with a large majority, included Members of European Parliament (MEPs) from all major party groups, and the Pirate Party’s Amelia Andersdotter had been playing a central role in its drafting, together with MEPs Marietje Schaake and Judith Sargentini from the Netherlands, Sabine Verheyen and Petra Kammerevert from Germany, Ivailo Kalfin from Bulgaria, and Catherine Trautmann from France.'"

    No, boo fucking hoo for crybabies like yourself, who seem to believe that writing a few words or a few notes should give you a guaranteed income for the rest of your miserable life.

    If you're an entertainer, then entertain people. Stop signing stupid fucking contracts that guarantee that only douches can ever profit from your work. I don't even like the fat fuck, but he was breaking no law that made any sense.
