Copyright laws threaten our online freedom

On MySpace and YouTube, creative people post audio and video remixes for others to enjoy, until they are replaced by take-down notices handed out by big film and record companies. Technology opens up possibilities; copyright law shuts them down.
This was never the intent. Copyright was meant to encourage culture, not restrict it. This is reason enough for reform. But the current regime has even more damaging effects. In order to uphold copyright laws, governments are beginning to restrict our right to communicate with each other in private, without being monitored.

WASHINGTON — Undercover investigators sneaked bombs and detonators past security guards and into federal buildings occupied by the Homeland Security, Justice and State departments, according to testimony to be delivered Wednesday.
The GAO also reviewed background material of 663 guards and found that 62% of them had at least one expired certification that the FPS requires for them to work.

I watched this on C-SPAN, they also showed a guard sleeping at his desk (because his painkillers made him sleepy), they told of another guard who was in the restroom “practicing his draw” with his weapon (Barney Fife?), and it discharged, another guard ran a baby in a carrier through the x-ray machine as the mother was looking in her purse.

That’s because the Feds only hire “quality personnel” to oppress us and they require “certifications and training” to bash our heads, shoot us, fall asleep and endanger lives in creative ways. Tax dollars at work. I can hardly wait until the “civilian security force…as well armed as the military” comes to a street near me! Uber Nazis must be stopped or they’ll kill us all!

I actually believe this simply because I know how incompetent the government is. Government is a parasite and can barely do anything correctly.
Trust me, I know people from college who went into the homeland security complex. These people appear intelligent and clean cut, but anything more than a 10 minute conversation with them reveals that they have absolutely nothing between their ears besides a rat on a wheel that constantly recharges their desire for power and money.
The real irony here is that the product the government sells so well–the illusion of SECURITY–is a total deception!! They can’t even protect their own security buildings! How are they going to protect Joe Blowe in Wyoming?
I really don’t think the fools of the human race will ever be able to comprehend that the only real security comes from LIBERTY.
And to the guy below who said that it is nearly impossible to sneak explosive items into a federal building, are you serious? Really think about it…

Only copies made for financial profit are restricted by copyright law, if I understand its intent. All other copies are legitimate and nothing can justify Big Brother. Big Brother is a crime against humanity, vastly more damaging that the harm individuals could do with their copy machines.

You are wrong. Anything that is copyright either for profit or no profit is protected the by Copyright Laws. It is to protect the so owner, writers. and so whatever has the subject copyrighted. I am a songwriter and I deal with copyrights and I would not play or release any of my songs in public due to the fact they can get boot leg recording and stolen and lost of money of the copyright owner just because you people wants a free deal. We own the copyrights and you can’t have it unless we say so. Stealing a product that is copyrighted is like stealing someone car, camera, whatever. It is personal product of the owner. The trouble is this country has no respect. You people wants to get the facts, study the copyrights before you

Actually, ape-man George W. Bush had some truth in his statement when he claimed that the constitution was just a damned piece of paper.
Every Chinese national did not “take jobs from Americans”.
America is a different term than that of the UNITED STATE of AMERICA. The term UNITED STATES of AMERICA has a so-called legal defintion. It is a corporation, plain & simple…that was birthed out of a territory commonly known as the District of Columbia.
The members of congress are Internationalists that have the UNITED STATES of AMERICA’s best interest as the highest priority; not us…not us the indebted workers forced to pay for our own servitude.
SO many generations have went by that do not realize this. Even VISA holders, greencard holders and those born in “America” do not even realize this. As workers for this corporate enterprise, we have been allowed privileges. This is why those that have taken their posts in congress are now openly putting the clamps to us. They are controlling our travel and call it privileges. Think of how many other issues they are calling not ‘rights’, but privileges.
Do these Internationalists really want to “spread Democracy” far & wide? You bet ya. Why? Because ( as others have been saying ), we were supposed to be a Republic. But, the Internationalsist that are holed-up in their Green Zone of Washington D.D., want it that way.
The Constitution was re-written from the united states of America to what it is today; the UNITED STATES of AMERICA and as such evrything that comes out of Washington D.C. is to ensure the survival of this corporate establishment. Isn’t it true that more often than not, immigrants will work for less wages and typically are OK with no benefits? Our employers want it this way. They want it this way so as to allow them more for themselves.
How many people know that the federal government ( these Internationalists ) are invested in stocks at the International level? Why do they do this? Well, for starters….becasue the UNITED STATES of AMERICA is a corporation and as a corporation it will seek to decrease expenses / have a healthy return on investments / and expand ( aka – spreading democracy ).
DId “China” take away jobs or did the corporation get together, write laws and pass these laws to better itself in commerce? In this process of moving jobs overseas, the result here has been unemployment. These Internationalists do not work for the united states of America. There interests and entire agenda is for the international expansion of the corporation known as the UNITED STATES of AMERICA and these global Internationalists are putting up the trimwork to their global framework.
“We” are not privy to any “constitution”. It is the paperwork for them and not us. Since “we” are not privy to their constitution as we have been conditioned to believe, we are merely recognized as ’strawmen’. Our person is tied to this corporate debt because for one thing, our birth certificate. Point 2 is because the States are indebted to the federal corporation known as the UNITED STATES of AMERICA.

I disagree with Chapman today on the Jones show. He stated that corporations are in control of the federal government.
Per ‘law’ and by the defintion of the legal terminology that is being used, the U.S. is a corporation.
What we have are different federal agencies / departments that are sub-components that fall under the umbrella of the United States corporation.
The entities commonly known as a “corporation”, such as General Motors for example, fall under the control of the federal agencies that pass legislation to ‘handle’ General Motors. It’s basically a pyramid chart and if it’s ‘federal’….then it is ‘corporate’. Federal & Corporate are synonymous…per the books.
Homeland Security Department; its federal…its corporate. S.E.C…..it’s another room down the hall that is housed within the corporation. Department of Defense; another corporate entity.
Now, the corporate federal governemnt has recently, openly siezed control of General Motors…they are becoming more and more bolder as they become more bolder on finally making Americans aware of their ‘privileges’.

An Addendum.
Posting Videos on YouTube with peoples copyrighted works is not about sharing.
There is a free program that allows you input the URL address of the YouTube page with the song you want, and it converts it to an mp3 file and saves it to your computer.
Real Player finds media clips and pops up a, Download this clip. message every time.
It saves the file to your computer as an flv.
Download a free flv to mp3 converters and once again you have stolen someones work.
It is akin to going into a store and taking out anything you want, (stealing), and sticking an “all you can carry for free” sign on it.

On the copywright article.
I love infowars and am always on the side of this site. But copyright protection is property rights 101. How could this article have it so backwards? The government monitoring stuff is a separate point. I’m of course against it. But the whole “file sharing” term is such a joke. It was invented to deflect what is really happening. the stealing of someone else’s work. Invented by those who start and profit off of illegal download sites.
hey everybody. Ever hear of a patent on an idea? Uh….same thing. You write a program, song, produce a show,etc..these are things that copywrite laws PROTECT THE INDIVIDUAL SO THEY CAN BENEFIT FROM THEIR WORK. This is a law that helps you get paid from your hard work.
I want to “file share” 10 cents out of everyones bank account. Hey, you won’t miss it. I DESERVE IT.

I think it is sad that our history has been copyrighted in the way that it has. Certain practices that we have leave our children’s hands empty and they look around and participate in the same schemes that enslaved the information from the previous generation.
Don’t participate in it. Don’t put your belief in it. They pimp idolatry which shuts off cognitive thinking anyhow. So why do you keep paying for it?

It will only be a few more years before GNU software is better than commercial software. And look at the practices that Microsoft has to employ just to keep it’s network going.
Some things are meant to be free. Some things are meant to be paid for. You can still copyright your work. But look at how GNU and free projects are flourishing. They are more efficient and take a crap load less enforcement.
Furthermore this corporatism is getting pretty pathetic. Copyrighting (SM) two word phrases never again to be used by anybody else. It is getting pretty sick what is being copyrighted. Costing business owners tons of hours of productivity just to make sure they stay legal in what they write on their own products.
All this boils down to for me is a recognition of things that waste our time. I don’t participate in things that waste time.

Over the past week, I have been hearing Infowars whineing about how people are stealing info and pictures from Infowars, when you turn and you do the same thing, did you ask for permisson. Right down the bottom of this pages it says ( Copyrights 2009 Alex Jones Infowars.Com is an Alex Jones company. All Rights reserved.)The reason why I wrote Copyrights before Alex name, that little c you see before his name means copyrights. What are trying to say here, Copyrights laws threaten our online freedom when you say you going to sued the people that use anything from Infowars or anything to do with Alex Jones. Alot of your info comes from the outside news media. It is not your product to use unless you ask the news media for permisson just you said ,they can sued Infowars just has well has Infowars.

In this instance copyright only affects you if you are making financial gain from anothers work/art. It is youtube not the “users” that are in breach of copyright because they receive finances from advertisers, which is a shame for genuine internet artists who merley wish to expose their art and ask for no financial reward in order to view their work.
I would suggest that youtube could remedy this sittuation very quickly and easily by offering PRS & MCPS a fixed some of money annually so that its clients may continue to forward their internet art and youtubes usage.
The truth of the matter is that the “Remix” culture is a large part of arts now and in the future, wether that be video remixs on youtube or musical remixs in DJ culture. MCPS & PRS are going to have to adapt their sytem to the modern world of art.
but more important than all of this…..Didn’t they find evidence of Nano Thermite in 4 seperate specimins of World Trade Centre dust ?!?!?!?! lets not be distracted by the SHINY

While our parents were Practicing Mindlessness© copulating at the Sock Hop® to music chosen by the corporate machine to create the Fanfare of My Generation®, the Government© was plotting behind closed doors to Enslave® us.
The Indians® made it along just fine not copyrighting their songs. Passed along generation to generation and nobody was hurt.
The joy of music was suppose to be first. The copyright and control of music breeds multi-million dollar losers to attract our attention away from the cause of our suffering.
Change reality by changing the way we think. Quit playing by rules that enslave us.

This is totally Hagaelian dialectic at work:
“Problem, Action = Solution…
The New World Order Wins regardless, so leave the laws alone….

Hey, TRUTH, I can rent out a new release DVD for $3.00 (or only $1.00 if I wait till the following Monday) and burn it onto a blank disc which costs slightly less than a dollar. So I can have a movie for between $2.00-$4.00. Beats the heck out of going to the store and shelling out $20.00, doesn’t it?
