I don't know. I think both political parties in power are terrified of the internet. There has been an explosion of ideas and debate. Eventually the best ideas will be competing directly against mainstream television bias. The rise of Ron Paul, even to the extent he didn't win, is a *phenomenon*.
I think we will start seeing more and more people voting out of principle for third parties. Congressional approval ratings are at 9%. It's just a matter of time of working better choices onto the ballots. People vote for their guy only because they hate the other guy more.
I don't see any reason why the Libertarian Party can't get 25% of the vote without dismantling either the Democrats or the Republicans, just siphoning off from a compromise of civil and economic liberty. Every district is becoming more and more politically polarized through time. All you need is a couple Greens and a couple Libertarians to squeak into office to start a big tide toward voting in more of the sames. I think there is enough dissatisfaction that people like Kucinich and Paul can even attract votes from people on different political ends given run of the mill bad quality politicians.
If the mainstream parties weren't terrified of people like Ron Paul they wouldn't spend so much effort trying to marginalize and discredit them, but address their positions head on.
The internet is a New Age. There is no longer a two party funneling of two view points on mainstream media. More and more people are getting their news and opinion from the internet. And this is still just the wee beginning.
It only makes sense because Microsoft is floating upon an ocean of patent bubbles. The '361 patent is unenforceable in the real world. But it lets Microsoft get in on the Google paid search game, without possibly setting off a patent Armageddon war meltdown.
Microsoft's main revenue source (very expensive questionable quality software) is under serious threat. Google main revenue source is not under serious competitive threat. Google would get that '361 patent invalidated in a heart beat if it was a serious threat to their business. Microsoft, however, will not undertake the same tactic to get in on the paid search game, because business method patents are practically synonymous with software function patents.
Yahoo has nothing. It's no surprise corporate raiders would not take the bait. Any hidden asset value play of the '361 patent is an SCO disaster in waiting. But Yahoo is still in the game, has a chance down the line to be competitive against both Microsoft and Google.
Such navigation is what Bill Gates considered "good business skills". But MSFT can't afford to pay for the '361 patent chip, and Yahoo can't afford to sell it. And the '361 patent chip is completely worthless in the real world, but billions in stock valuations are being swung around because of it. Maybe Microsoft is just counting on the outcome that Google wouldn't press the patent nuclear war button also (as Microsoft would at least attempt to retaliate against all of Google's on-line services).
In the meantime, innovation and competition is stagnated, and consumers are worse off paying for lower quality products with higher prices -- ACROSS THE BOARD.
It's the government's own idiocy that jeopardizes security. They almost immediately abuse such laws to go after non terrorists. Maybe they should also ask for Telecom Throttling Immunity so they can secure enough bandwidth (a DOUBLING) to copy every data bit into analysis programs (hmmm ISP network stress overload coincidence?), and also secure Copyright Infringement Immunity to mass violate everybody's copyrighted content. I nominate the agency be honorably named ThePirateGov. They should also perhaps budget 999 TRILLION dollars a year to compensate for the government legal liability.
How are citizens supposed to keep their ears and eyes open for terrorism unless they upload and download *everything*, to make sure that every data bit isn't overlooked for possible terrorist activity? We can now clearly see that copyright and ISP throttling is aiding and abetting terrorist activity. How do we know there aren't secret terrorist plans in files named mileycyrus.mp3? Don't let the terrorists win -- end copyright now!
Let the telecommunications lawyers make our arguments for us and win. Then we can immediately apply the exact same arguments to our dark net competing open source internet infrastructure. If we don't get the same subsidies and the same cash infusions for laying network cable as the original telecommunications companies got, then we can sue both the government and the original telecommunications companies for anti-competitive practices. Start by taking over big city markets, like New York, L.A., Chicago, likely the biggest profit margin locations for old telecommunications companies. Just look at the clamoring for Verizon FIOS.
It's like these telecommunications companies completely forgot why people upgraded from dial up to broadband in the first place. They can be undercut with new competition, new competition that is financed by suing the telecommunications companies to return the total market value of monopoly subsidies they received or suing the government to finance to the exact same dollar amount new companies.
If they want to run their networks like shit, full of spying, throttling, etc. it's time to start seeking bids from international Japanese telecommunications service providers, and new *competing* domestics providers. Also make sure these companies are chartered with no take over, no merger, clauses, so that they cannot be bought up the old dinosaur players.
the terms of service for MySpace state that, in order to use the service, one must provide correct information.
Perfect. Thus, MySpace is criminally and civilly liable for misrepresentation of the law and fraud. Or it's ok for me to put fake parking tickets on people's windshields with checks payable to my corporate account, Chicago Parking Violation, Inc, (we leave off the "Inc." part on the ticket) with fine teeny tiny print saying I just don't like that color and model, any payments are voluntary contributions, blah blah blah? I can advertise on television that Camel Cigarettes "cure tired blood"?
It's time to start slapping these TOSs and EULAs with criminal charges and class action civil suits.
There is no exchange of material resources. There is no commercial transaction. Therefore, there is no fraud. Unless MySpace is charging a mandatory monthly subscription fee for some sort of service, there is no element of fraud. Their site is open to the public as guests, unless they block all users from accessing the site by mandating a legal payment identification be displayed, such as a credit card. Let's see how long MySpace stays in business when they start demanding credit cards, primary contact email addresses, home addresses, and home or primary cell phone numbers.
Otherwise, bring a class action lawsuit against MySpace for *fraudulently* misrepresenting the law. Actually, that's a good idea. Start suing companies who post EULAs with fraudulently misrepresenting the law, and start collecting civil damages.
Two wrongs don't make a right. Should the prosecutor thus be charged with malicious prosecution and lose their license to practice law? It sure like they are heading down the road of political and career "suicide", in the name of vengeance. Cause the prosecutor should be held accountable too, right, and have her kids taken away as mommy serves her sentence for abuse of the law and terrorizing citizens who are innocent until otherwise proven guilty. This is a waste of taxpayer resources to piss away funds for charges that can't stick.
This belongs in Civil Court, not criminal court. Such egregious prosecution charges aren't just assaulting the Constitutional rights of one horrible mean-spirited detestable individual, but assaulting all our rights, with reckless regard for any collateral damage.
In all cases before this court, the undersigned has allowed plaintiffs' expedited motion for discovery.
Open source file sharing of all files, containing both copyrighted and uncopyrighted content, is Constitutionally mandated on Legal Discovery Process grounds. We all have just as much of a right as any trade organization, as any ISP, or as any government to analyze all content ever created to search for copyright infringements. We can all legally enlist all paid and voluntary help whatsoever in this endeavor.
If defendants are charged with copyright infringement, they have the right to argue and exhibit evidence that invalidates the original copyright claims themselves, such as showing prior art, or overlapping use of content which is the copyright ownership of secondary parties. This can only be accomplished by copying and manually (or automatically in hash recognition programs) inspecting the files. Prohibiting defendants and secondary claimants from gathering evidence is a violation of their due process and legal discovery rights. Thus, cease and desist and take down notices for any and all files shared on the internet are violations of due process and discovery rights for First, Second, and Third Parties. Result, P2P file sharing is absolutely necessary, and inhibiting the free flow of information (for non commercial non profit legal discovery evidence purposes) is wholly unconstitutional.
What's next? The Courts rule that handwriting expert testimony cannot be introduced as evidence in a court because it violates the copyrights of the person who wrote the words?
Thus I have Discovered that P2P open source file sharing is absolutely necessary for the protection of copyrights. Yeah, I'm just that good. Please notify me immediately if you find this post in any torrent files such as for example a file which was theoretically named everything_ever_made_by_Walt_Disney.tor so that I may undertake appropriate legal actions to defend myself. I also humbly request infinite deputized voluntary intern help in vetting every data bit available on the internet for the purposes of determining that no copyright violations regarding my content are being wrongfully claimed or distributed. I will also likewise be glad to reciprocate in helping to determine that none of your copyrighted stuff is also illegally contained in files. Thank you for your assistance, and welcome to your first day as an intern in Open Source Legal Discovery Inc. ^_^
May your file sharing Legal Discovery Searches, be fruitful. And yes, you can put OSLDI Intern on your resume.
That's strictly a "non-internet". That's a centralized traditional broadcasting system. Why then bother voluntarily paying for such service, or voluntarily without pay "attempting" to contribute to the value of the content available on such service? An "internet" connects every "trusted" with every other "trusted". At that point, completely and wholly undermining the entirety of the system is exactly a one click patent breaking uploading of a virus ala Jeff Goldblum in Independence Day (Happy 4th of July BTW! ^_^) away. That is, *by definition*, the weakest, least resilient system you could possible unintelligently construct. Realize that as of this moment, every place everybody connects to *and* every place everybody does not connect is a synthetic decentralized form of "trusted" computing.
Such a centrally controlled system is toast for security violations (but let the Chinese believe otherwise -- Great Wall meet Berlin Wall, "seemingly" randomly and spontaneously), and that's why vast amounts of information would be intentionally withheld from it, to avoid uncontrollable corruption, undermining its economic value. These few companies would also possibly be forever sealing their reputations in a non profit maximizing way. Maybe that's why students don't protest anymore, by for instance, taking over college administration buildings or television stations. It would only accomplish watered down diffuse results given the decentralized viewing audience which could from anywhere direct the hilarity from multiple sources to temporarily centralized sites. Mocking is more efficient.
Trust is a *two-way* street subject to the Economic LAW of Trade. That which is received is by definition valued more than that which is given away in exchange in all cases without exception, otherwise there is no flow of data, only ignored garbage "noise" (here's looking at you television). Inefficient hated bumbling government can't compete with market reputation, not by an order of magnitude to an order of magnitude power. And it's just inevitably labeled and regarded as pure propaganda, making "surprise attacks" extra effective.
Well then I guess such misguided efforts will have the unintended beneficial side effect of helping the field of Astrology, or is it Cosmology, improve and sharpen their scientific methodology, assuming we know the full possible spectrum of light, and all points in between. I hearby make a motion to ban the classification of the color "Forest Green" as a piratical usurpation attack upon the True Colors (or the metric system spelling equivalents) Green and the 1337 criminal conspiracy color "Doo Doo Brown".
If we're not careful, a careless click of an infrared remote control button could inadvertently launch an uncontrollable chain reaction transmission of all the content ever made. And what does the remote control do anyway? Allow people to cheat the content they view by changing channels when commercials appear? Skip over the heart and soul of artistic endeavor with subjective carefree glee? Abominations! Threats! Crimes! I for one feel we should preserve the pristine reflection of our Moon, and not allow rogue Pirates to vandalize with advertisements, of benevolent or malicious intent, Her Face with digital display shots for money, fame, or any reason at all.
Bring on the Absurdity. What are we going to do after we win the War except entertain ourselves with crude jesting, thus resurrecting the the defunct profession of the deadly unlicensed mercenary Jester? Are you Not Entertained?
Such is the difference between should and shouldn't, between could and couldn't, between would and wouldn't. There's always nonetheless an exciting element of a 'n' sided dice roll involved in such demonstrated districts. Conquer your fear! That's what mmorpg training is all about. All is fair in War and Gaming, exploits included. Pick up the phat loot drops on your way out.
Peace, through superior fire power (name that movie ^_^).
Vote for me for Emperor, by Deed or Action. I will with the utmost of exquisite balance and benign benevolence relieve you of such burdens. Plus if you vote for me, mi is first up against the wall. Et tu, Mob?
No. You are Wrong. DRM will solely exist at the ISP monopoly/duopoly backbone level, the sole Judge, Jury, and Executable of "legitimate" traffic. Fine, if you want to build your subsidy not included multi-billion dollar network without DRM "trusted" monitoring, go ahead... otherwise you are a "pirate" if you don't conform to the network and broadband standards of the official network, corporately owned and subsidized by politician votes.
What kind of routers and cisco nodes do you think the corporate backbone ISP's are going to demand? Who gives a fuck what you want at the household level...
Once Trusted, what happens regarding any "Fuck You!" hiccups or burps? We just pretend Tyler Durdan didn't manually paste that giant cock into that G-Rated Disney movie? Everything would have to be manually filtered through some central point to safeguard against that, and unfortunately such material resources are finite. One.35mm film frame is just as relative as a 9mm bullet, is just as relative as the amount of information which can be sent per smallest of deciphered unit of time.
And it still doesn't identify individual *persons*, including the minor offspring of politicians. I'm sure lowest common denominator red necks are willing and ready to accept cable television boxes which video scan all areas of households to ensure only safe activity is occurring within said premises. Just wait until more and more, by definition of any all legal actions, whether civil or criminal, people become aware of such monitoring. Authorized child stalking and child pornography here we come. *Exactly* like the War on Drugs, except where everybody has crackhead kids selling to undercover officers who get off on that shit!
No we're talking about *spectrum* regardless of human visibility, just like "dog whistles" are irrespective of human hearing frequency range. Light = 1. Dark = 0. Encryption = Infinitely Indivisible (With Liberty and Justice For All) Repetitive Time Frequency b/t Signals.
So you are saying Light can only travel at Light Speed, if it travels through a corporate cable? How were sound waves ever able to be encoded and then subsequently decoded from one radio transmitter to one radio receiver? Information is inescapably recorded and transmitted regardless of the wishes of anyone. If a tree falls in a forest and nobody is around to hear it, does it make a noise?
You're too Generous. It would be more Lucrative to Bait those Politicians into making Mistakes. I say, give them the Opposite Impression, for Shits and Giggles, and most Especially, Financing!
Karma Chameleon, you come and go, you come and go. What happened to independently peer reviewing each and every post upon its merits? I love the smell of P2P "noise" in the morning! It means they are scared. Let's ask Ron Paul some conspiracy kook questions, because we're are too afraid to ask legitimate policy questions that differentiate upon the merits. A whole helluva lot of people smelled that a mile away, and thus unlike the United States Marine Corps (or at least Army), our doors are flooded with ever higher quality candidates. Five to One? X to 1? It's a greater positive ratio viewed from that direction.
Astro-turfing Attrition is to be Expected. Use it to your Advantage.
Tomorrow we Dine in Mod Hell! What's the Difference? Everyone who counts, reads from negative one onwards anyway, especially on certain topics. Negative Ghost Modder, the Pattern is Full.
And thus high quality media content like "Smokey and the Bandit", and "BJ McKay and the Bear" once again becomes cool. Next thing you know, corporate companies like Walt Disney will start making End Game movies glorifying and celebrating pirates! Rated 'Rrrrrrr' nonetheless! Or rated 'M' for Moses...
Nah. I got your point. Very good one! I just wished to give it an official sounding military name. How do you like "Operation Little Red Riding Hood"? Nice, eh? Eh? Are you Awed and Shocked?
But I like the "stuffing" idea. Thanksgiving should eventually incorporate a holiday element of blasting media, like say *Two* Thanksgiving (American style) Football Games! Attention! All Bits on Deck! Let the Kickoff Competition of who can download and upload the most shit upon that day being! Gentlemen and Female Racing Drivers... Start Your Torrenting! Whether it be on-line or sneaker net key chain sized flash drives, 'tis the start of the season for being thankful and giving! ^_^
Wait. You mean content creators somehow expect or desire that their creations at some point be seen, heard, felt, touched, or Be otherwise exchanged to others? Inconceivable! A Moment of Silence, if you Please, while I Gather the Operation Rousseau Society Will Thoughts of My Pets, er Peers.
