Woahhh, Canada seems to be increasingly anti-telecommunication.
Maybe all of this internet and connectedness means the end of nationstate governments and big business monopolies/cartels. They're fighting to protect it. I hope Canadian citizens aren't suckers.
Yeah, maybe it needs to be reduced in some parts, since Obama cannot send emails because of it. Or is that another law/act?
Though it definitely needs to be increased in other parts.
I understand BitZstream's point though. ThePirateBay seems to have been created with the intention of letting others spread copyrighted material illegally (hence the 'pirate' bay), whereas Blogger seems to have been created with the intention of letting others create content.
There's a difference.
And this post does not reflect my opinion about thepiratebay case. It's really silly that such an argument as the above came forth out of replies to a post called "let's not argue".
Seriously, this isn't about Islam, or the Armenian issue, or Atatürk.
This is about all of Blogger getting banned over intellectual property rights. That's it. I already posted the updated article in my previous comment. Let's stop the negativity.
Let's work together instead of arguing on which country is better.
The fact is, the situation sucks. Digiturk (not Oktar!) was able to get all of Blogger/Blogspot banned due to dated or poorly composed laws. It sucks, but it's the reality.
What we need to do is spread the message, get it out in the open... A lot of media hasn't even picked up on it yet, I had to contact the media myself to get them to report on it (gave a short radio interview to radio 3FM in Holland this afternoon).
Spread the news. Talk about it. Blog about it. Social bookmark it. Whatever you do. This is not just about Turkey and their laws, but the future of the internet. It cannot become acceptable that countries (or ISP's) block off parts of the internet on false pretenses.

No more speculation.

Exactly! And fk the labels and artists who still continue to be associated with them.

Well, it has come out that it wasn't religion, but Digiturk (a cable company) that got it banned. http://www.basbasbas.com/blog/2008/10/26/digiturk-causes-turkish-ban-of-bloggerblogspot/
