You also copy a work when you read it. Into your mind. By your logic, anyone reading a book is stealing property, if they didn't pay for it. Madness. Not what the Constitution meant. And Copyright is supposed to EXPIRE! And now it does not, forever and ever. We didn't break the deal, the "owners" of ideas did. You want your sweet deal back again, put the time limits back on. Until then, forget it. AFAIAC, the new copyright unlimits are stealing OUR property that was supposed to be in the public domain! Who's addressing that theft? The dollar amount of that theft is enormous, the intellectual cost, incalculable. We can't scan orphan works, because copyright geniuses want us to prove that the copyright has lapsed, rather than have the holder claim it his. So nothing gets copied from the past, and millions of old works will eventually burn or be tossed into shredders when funding for libraries finally gets low enough to make them shut down the buildings.
To go around the internet, to make a new, untraceable communications network that no one can listen in to, may require quantum-entanglement communications systems that act at a distance without any physical interaction. More like a telegraph system or a CB/Ham radio like comm system. Very limited, but untraceable. Could only work if people physically trade comm boxes that have cascades of particles that are pre-entangled. By collapsing wave functions in order, one could send binary information, Y/N, which could encode whatever you like. I can imagine it, but cannot begin to think of how one would be built. The pieces aren't here yet.
The dark nets will become illegal. FAST. Faster than you can imagine. All they have to do is wave the twin wands, National Security and Pedophiles, and anyone broadcasting or receiving encrypted packets will become a Very Interesting Person. You all underestimate how fast this is happening. And they will, in fact, lock you into a personal IPv6 address when it finally rolls out. Trying to go around it will not be a matter of tech savvy, but daring men with bulletproof armor to crash through your windows and doors. And the US is making sure it happens everywhere in the world, more or less at once.
Fine, if the copyright expires. That was the deal, back in the 1780's. But the deal was unilaterally reneged on when copyrights became eternal. You want copyrights? Put a limit on them. Right now, the art and stories of the world are set to be owned by corporations until the end of time. And we are building a world-wide surveillance state to enforce that "property". There will be nowhere you can go, electronically, without the government, thru corporate proxies, looking over your shoulder and logging what you are looking at, what you are reading, what you are copying. Forever.
No. They have not. The Supreme Court decision happened in 1892, IIANM, when a former railroad lobbyist turned clerk of a Supreme Court Justice inserted it into an unrelated decision. The corporate lawyers ran with it, and it became impossible to call back. The trusts and tycoons had been try, without success, for decades to have the SCOTUS declare corporations people. One pro-corp lobbyist in a powerful position did the trick when law and reason wouldn't.
In 1992, the SCOTUS declared money to be speech.
In 2010, the SCOTUS removed all limits to corporate spending on lobbying, citing 1992.
Result: corps, government licensed creatures, now have become the government, cuckoo-like, replacing the substance while the shell remains.
The end of the internet, as I used to prophesize on Slashdot over ten years ago. It will become cable TV and a wiretapped phone, along with the history of everything we access. And with IPV6, we will get assigned personal IPs - there will be enough for every amoeba on the planet to be tracked. And don't bother telling us about how we will hack around it- that will be an international felony, and they will show us what happens to people who think they're cute. Ask Kevin Mitnick or Assange.
the distribution chain doesn't exist anymore. eBooks come from Amazon servers. The servers don't hold inventory, don't need monthly orders, don't need a percentage, don't have to rip the covers off and send the ebooks back if they don't sell, don't need a parking lot or a restroom. Bad or Good, this is it; we don't need the distribution chain anymore. The damned, aching shame is that this didn't happen fifteen years ago. The publishers kept us frozen in 1975 for far too long.
Not many cried when millions of industrial workers fell into poverty. Now the literary types will join them. Where anyone will work is beyond me.
In a recent budget proposal, the defense agency argues that its analysis can expose terrorist cells and other groups by tracking their meetings, rehearsals and sharing of material and money transfers."
Al Queda did none of those things. So why? To track unruly citizens, of course. Not the flow of cash to the Caymans, either - no one is interested in that.
If you watched that video, he only sprays tiny, cute, very young women. Tony has a problem with girls he can't screw. Tony Baloney likes to hurt girls he wants but can't screw. Tony needs his ass kicked, badly. And Tony will get away with it.
Lemme give an example. The Tea Party. The very name of the "movement" is a perversion of history.
The Tea Party was not a revolt against a tax increase on tea. It was a revolt against a tax removal on tea by the British Parliament designed to benefit the crown corporation. The Tea Party was an anti-corporate rebellion, for godsakes, yet somehow the "Tea Party" of today gets their history wrong in the very meaning of their name! And no one points it out in all the years since they formed, not in any debate or interview I've seen. A people with a fake history cannot learn real history, nor can they make history other than screwing everything up.
There is no "people". They don't hear anything that disagrees with corporatism on TV news, papers, or websites. Everything is fair and balanced, which is to say, with any historical context, waaaay to the right. The "people" don't read history, don't know history, don't care about history, and are impervious to the idea of revolt in any way bu refusing to pay taxes.
Anything critical of capitalism - or corporatism, really, 'cause they are not the same - is simply not covered anymore. The protestors are considered pinks by the people who own things, among which are the people who own all the media outlets, and by extension, hire the reporters who cover the events. A reporters who would try to present anti-corporate discussion, other than with derision, would soon be marginalized and then unemployed and unemployable. See what happened 2001-2003 to the very few reporters who tried to disagree with the march to war. They were dumped and disgraced, never to be heard from again. Any reporter knows what happens to any reporter writing to the left of Reagan - you gone.
Remember Seattle? No-one does, accurately. Long, peaceful protests against the corporations, then suddenly: Anarchists! OMG! At least a dozen, springing from the protesters, smashing and running and breaking and somehow, not getting caught. Then, of course, in immediate sync, governments across the world instituted a world police state in which the very act of protest caused police violence. In Canada, the UK, the US. Very convenient.
I'd bet much that most "anarchists" are specially trained agents of god-knows-who, governments, quasi-govercorporPR ad hoc committess, whatever. They activate and infiltrate, then disappear.
End result: anti-war protest, Chicago, 2003-ish, where I personally witnessed every unmarked cop car in the city parked on lower Wacker drive, poised to take on Armageddon, or as we know them, anti-violence peace marchers. They rounded everyone up and arrested them. We've not had a mass peace march since. Not to mention the media channels broadcasting nothing but "these pinks are holding up rush hour!", instead of examining WHY the war to come was insane - as it was. The protestors were right, and the cops and everyone else were wrong.Too damned bad no one cared to cover them other than commie-pro-Islam crazies. We'd have about a million more live Iraqi innocents, and twenty thousand fewer brave Americans with their junk burned off.
I must say you are not getting the way of the future here. There won't be any machines you can build yourself. The best and newest mobos will not support anything but Windows. You've been outmaneuvered - they've been working on this for over ten years.
Just as you can't shut off GPS tracking on your phone, or the mic for that matter, you will not be able to bypass the switch on the mobo. Try to deactivate it, and the encrypted embedded software will prevent the board from booting, period.
And remember this: any encryption on that subsystem will enable Microsoft to invoke the Digital Millenium Copyright Act against anyone who "breaks" the encryption. You might have rights to mod the hardware, but you have *no* right to break the DMCA and decrypt the bootup blocking software. This is a trap sixteen years in the making. Welcome to the future we warned you about.
He destroyed the documents, claiming he took them to keep them safe, because Assange could not do so. Among them info on right-wing groups. And he created a new WikiLeaks competitor.
This guy is operating a right-wing, pro-government honeypot to trap informants. Can't be more obvious. Any real info he took from Assange he's destroyed. Anyone who gives him real info will likewise be destroyed.
Nice to legally know how many times the law-breaking illegal striking workers illegally broke the law while illegally hampering the legal acts of their employer, illegally. Not to mention that they were illegal and broke the law.
You do know that all strikes were once illegal? The governors and US Presidents used to call upon the National Guard to shoot strikers dead. Because they were, you know, illegal. Because the law said they couldn't do stuff illegally. Their employers could break the law, of course, because it's hard to jail or shoot a corporation. And they've bought all the laws they need, so it's pretty hard to find a law they can break.
Not to mention the whole ex-President-illegally-invaded-Iraq-and-killed-a-million-people-thing-for-nothing thing, still going on, but no one cares about that. Them strikers and unions are the real threat. They might want more money from fabulously rich employers, and that's just not legal.
To be fair, officeholders like Congresscritters don't think this stuff up. They are presented with these laws pre-written by police and intellectual property proponents. They are just responding to their superiors' wishes. Don't make the mistake of thinking that our representatives are in charge of lawmaking. Corps, law enforcement, national security nuts and IP lobbyists are behind the police state proposals. Without an outcry from the citizenry, congresscritters have no way to buck this legislation. They could, but without our backup would be tossed from office by the abovenamed interest groups, esp. the IP proponents and the corps behind them who can now spend, anonymously, infinite amounts of cash to remove opponents from office.
Cars - mandatory GPS and radio tracking in five years. Sooner, probably. They'll claim it's for safety, then for charging road use tax, and of course it'll be used by anyone with a law enforcement credit card to view what we're doing. And we'll never be rid of them.
Q: Can quantum entanglement be used to create a communications system without radio or wires? I don't ask this idly.
1. How do they know child porn is out there? I certainly ain't looking, so how does everyone know this? Could it be that law agencies are lying about the problem, inasmuch they couldn't possibly have any data? That they are using this nonsense to lock us down forever? 2. Whatever k-porn is out there, it's the US feds hosting it. 3. Want to find kid porn aficanados? I'd suggest watching the ones policing for it. They've got the collections. Where else would they be? If you want to arrest johns, follow the vice cops. They know where all the prostitution goes on, and they get it for free. 4. Told you so. The internet is turning into a monitored communications system for a worldwide open prison, and the wardens will be the only ones who aren't monitored. We survived 125+ years of phone service without every phone tapped. So why? So they can see everything we download, everything we see, everything we type, to make sure we pay for everything that IP loonies want to be paid for. And copyright never expires.
Yep. Your real name and address, please; number of children, where they go to school, ages? Where do you work? Where are you right now? You can trust us: we're the free market and we never will hurt you.
