Professor Lawrence Lessig, Harvard Law School:

“As we’ve seen, our constitutional system requires limits on copyright as a way to assure that copyright holders do not to heavily influence the development and distribution of our culture.”

“Copyrights have not expired, and will not expire, so long as Congress is free to be bought to extend them again.”

“In these times, the hardest task for social or political activists is to find a way to get people to wonder again about what we all believe is true. The challenge is to sow doubt.”

“If the internet teaches us anything, it is that great value comes from leaving core resources in a commons, where they’re free for people to build upon as they see fit.”

“So uncritically do we accept the idea of property in culture that we don’t even question when the control of that property removes our ability, as a people, to develop our culture democratically.”

WB7: If you are looking for cogent reading on the subject of the role of intellectual property rights in a “wired democracy”, I recommend Professor Lessig’s writings. They can can be obtained readily online.

You may be thinking of Biggy Rat, from the old King Leonardo Show.

A lesser known cartoon show than Rocky and Bullwinkle.... but is was a great show!

Of course there was also Mighty Mouse, but he was pretty goodie goodie.

No, I remember him as well. If you look at the very old silent "Mickey mouse" clips, which may have possibly preceeded his Disnet debut, he was not the happy-go-lucky goodie-two-shoes Mickey most people think of.

so, will the fed internet id's be free of charge? or will they make us pay for the privilege of being able to access the internet safely and securely?

There are fascist types saying it is necessary to track Internet identities to counter Internet libel and online sedition. If the kooks and crooks band together the Internet as we know it is doomed.

Same here.

Unfortunately, and ironically, many of the classics like "Fahrenheit 451" and "1984" and "Animal Farm" are not used in English classes anymore.

Two kids through pubic schools and neither have been exposed to these important books (I fixed the "omission").

Speaking of book-burning ... a 21st century of case of book-burning by the US government and its bribed federal judges.

The political refugee from the US in Brussels that I know, a non-Zionist Jew, was actually a victim of neo-Nazi US threats to burn his books, threats by a well-known friend of the George Bush family, which led to a bribed US judge instantly banning his freedom of speech.

And Jimmy Wales, CIA 'asset' and founder of Wikipedia, a Jew himself, supports these book-burning threats, and supports Google censoring and blocking the websites of a non-Zionist Jew.

One of the immense global frauds of this day, is that the CIA is pulling a major PR stunt with its Wikipedia site, Jimmy Wales falsely posing as head of a 'free knowledge' company, when actually Wikipedia was long-ago proven as a CIA operation, along with Answers.com being Mossad, based in Jerusalem.

The oligarchs are having a big big laugh today - fooling global sheeple into 'supporting' the CIA's Wikipedia.

Wikipedia is a US-gov't run scheme for suppressing the truth with hoaxes on selected targets, the perhaps 10 % of Wiki important to US - Israeli intel.

Websites with real knowledge are being censored by Google, while CIA and Mossad are dominating search results with lies they plant on Wiki, pumped to the top by Google, and most people never get past believing lies they are fed on Wikipedia.

The game is that 90% of Wiki is allowed to be fake 'neutral' so the other 2% - 10% can be used to slander selected targets for the US regime. People get used to 'trusting' Wiki ... so Wiki is used to deploy false info on topics where people are likely to get their first and only impression from Wiki.

Wikipedia management have been shown to send e-mails from CIA contractor e-mail addresses. Google Inc. blocks from search results, some of the sites about Wikipedia's CIA connections.

Wikipedia founders and management have criminal backgrounds. Mafia porn king Jimmy Wales, a Jew involved in harming children and murder, now a super-close personal friend of the President of Israel, Wales thanked and honoured for supporting Zionist crimes, helping slander and murder Muslims via Wikimedia, Jimmy Wales helping to slander and murder Jews who are anti-Zionist, helping to attack dissidents to the USA ...

Wikipedia lawyer Fred Bauder, molester of women and involved in extortion ... and so on.

The CIA-seed-money Google Inc. spent many years artificially pumping up Wikipedia pages to the top of search results, and multiplying Wikipedia 'results' 50x while suppressing duplicates of almost all other material.

Our political refugee from the US in Belgium, whom I know - I use a photo of his for my avatar here on ZH - was an important journalist on US corruption before Google Inc. began blocking all of his sites. Years ago, he wrote one of the articles Google Inc. is now blocking, about how Wikipedia is run by the CIA.

Here you see Google censoring material about Wikipedia being a CIA site:

Will you please stop with the copypasting across threads, bitch with an agenda?

You know, if you folks spam cross-thread with the same accounts, it's just kinda too obvious..... or maybe not, considering how many people fall for it, according to the up-arrows (or was that initially simply your team's work too? I mean, it's kinda amazing how your copypasted posts, regularily get 5+ upvotes IN MINUTES!!!)

I don't know how well the google CIA censorship thing is working - I was curious so I googled "CIA Seed Money Helped Launch Google" and I got plenty of hits.  Top of the list was PrisonPlanet.

I know there's censorship going on and of course SOPA is very sinister and we all know why they are really trying to bring it in, but they haven't fully censored everything yet... not yet.

Anyway, from the test I performed, it seems that google haven't censored the above phrase, so censorship isn't total yet.

SOPA will set a very bad precident if it goes through - it's only downhill from there.

Here's the short story: The CIA is a significant shareholder in google. Has been since a long time. But at least originally (may be different by now, considering google's recent behaviour)... that was NOT because google was one big CIA created conspiracy.... instead, the reason originally was a much more boring one: Google being the biggest search engine, it provided an ideal aggregator of popular opinion, as well as via cookies, profiling and datamining.... so, google simply had access to very useful information for the CIA.... and that's why they joined in.

As for wikipedia.... the sensational-sounding rants of that retard, make it sound as if wikipedia was founded and is run by the CIA...... but if you look at the actual provided links and information..... they state none of that. All they state, is that wikipedia being an "encyclopedia that anyone can edit"... that power has in the past also been used by politicians, the CIA and corporations with questionable intentions, to edit articles dealing with themselves. All the sources state, simply is that "the bad guys are writing on wikipedia too".... oh wow, and that is supposed to be surprising????

Maybe. I'm not really complaining (reasons - 1. you're doing it for free. 2. the signal to noise ratio still is way higher than 99% of the web). It's just me being the perfectionist i am, thinking that "if he'd post bi-daily, he could be even more awesome".... but then again, this would mean that you do not post some ideas... and you may discard pics, that i would enjoy, so :)

As for sacrilege: Wouldn't - considering the topic - the more fitting place for him to flee to, be cyberbunker?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CyberBunker  (to view article today and circumvent the halfassed blackout - just disable javascript)

Background info: Cyberbunker basically is one of the last servers in a political "no laws zone".... most other "data-havens" have been taken down in recent years. Cyberbunker also is the current supposed location of piratebay, as well as their encrypted VPN service, that lets people circumvent any blocks, and make their inet-traffic encrypted towards their ISP (thus, circumventing gov surveilance).

The "Republican Congress"? You mean the Wall Street-Hollywood Zionist Congress. Just heard ex-Sen Chris Dodd on the radio PR'ing for SOPA, last I heard, a "Democrat". As if it matters.
