I can't but feel angry and profoundly disgusted about the menacing notice the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) left on the once lively and cooperative community website Lokitorrent.com. It isn't the oficial result the law brought for this case what matters, if they think "community site" is a deceptive definition for a file sharing hostsite, it is TO THE COMMUNITY THEY IGNORE that the ultimatum has been addressed. That is as clear as spectacular and sensational they wanted it to be.
It is not to discuss the nature of p2p file sharing but the methods of lobbies. Not to just shutdown the site but to occupy it and spread paranoia. Isn't it a typical totalitarian modus operandi? They even demonstrate ironic as well as authoritarian resources.
I see it as an extrajudicial abuse, offlimits and beyond responsibilities and factual legal rights.
I see this procedure as not surprisingly intimate related with the present USA "way of policy" and global decadence of representative democratic institutionalization.
Fear and menace isn't the language of justice, it can't be or else we are already admitting and agreeing on the actual violence serfdom modern society is. If force is an auxiliary mean, not the way, then justice must argue and rely primary on rationality and civilization, not raw or media propaganda coercion. We all know how the actual mechanics of Power are, but besides it, the rhetoric of legality should be educated at least not decisively prepotent. Because legality is supposed to be the basis of civilised behaviour, superior to basic despotism reasons. I, netizen, citizen of the world, condemn totalitarian language, be it stalinist, fascist or freemarket. It is a shame and a danger for us all that corporate interests can act in such manner under the shadow of legality.
I agree this kind of attitude will provoke antagonism, and i really hope for it.
Because i think its more than "unmature", it's
offensive. Authoritarian.
