BNN Trying To Silence The Canadian Copyright Debate?
,----[ Quote ]
| Given the above evidence one can only assume that The Business News Network’s
| intended goal is to silence the debate surrounding Canadian copyright reform
| by suppressing the rebroadcast of clips which may be unfavourable for
| industry lobby groups.

Why Did UK Anti-Piracy Group FACT Get Computers From A Criminal
Investigation... And Keep Them?
,----[ Quote ]
| A few months after the original raid, investigation and arrest, the police
| decided that there wasn't enough for criminal charges, and decided not to
| prosecute the Vickerman's. The police told the Vickerman's their property
| could be returned, so the Vicerkman's lawyers contacted FACT asking for the
| equipment back, at which point FACT refused, claiming it was holding onto the
| equipment because it was considering bringing a civil suit against the
| Vickermans -- which it eventually did bring.

Bad Idea: Tax Energy To Reduce Blogging
,----[ Quote ]
| The modern version of the so-called traditional media has failed us to the
| extent bloggers have to take the press into their own hands. This was the
| media that gave us Paris Hilton when we were hungry about news from Iraq,
| about government wiretapping, about corporate-government corruption. Much of
| that was distraction from whose corporate media hands were dropping coins
| into whose government coffers. This is the media that had to be called out by
| bloggers for falsified documents aired on CBS in 2004. This is the media at
| the mercy of AstroTurf organizations. This is the media that ignored much of
| what we wanted to hear about until we raised a stink online.
|
| No one, except for those with vested interest in controlling information, is
| willing to go back to a set of elites (prodded by deep-pocketed publishers)
| deciding what the idiot masses need to hear about. And definitely no one is
| willing to let the government try to shut us up via taxes.
|
| Remember the Boston Tea Party?
