"Save the internet"

<< < (12/17) > >>

Carol Haynes:
Actually it doesn't say nothing ...

Let us be clear—online piracy is a real problem that harms the American economy, and threatens jobs for significant numbers of middle class workers and hurts some of our nation's most creative and innovative companies and entrepreneurs.  It harms everyone from struggling artists to production crews, and from startup social media companies to large movie studios. While we are strongly committed to the vigorous enforcement of intellectual property rights, existing tools are not strong enough to root out the worst online pirates beyond our borders. That is why the Administration calls on all sides to work together to pass sound legislation this year that provides prosecutors and rights holders new legal tools to combat online piracy originating beyond U.S. borders while staying true to the principles outlined above in this response.  We should never let criminals hide behind a hollow embrace of legitimate American values.

Which is why I keep saying the only way America is going to save its entertainment industry is to stop consuming American films, TV, and music. Starving the monster to death is the only way to stop the nonsense.  So stop giving it your money - and more importantly, your attention. Walk away from it completely. Its only a matter of time before it dies and a new industry is born from the ashes. Y

But it needs to start somewhere  And you can start very simply: Stop feeding the Troll! 8) :Thmbsup:

Latest Wrinkle:

Rep. Eric Cantor has "killed" / "put to sleep to awaken another day" the House SOPA bill. Currently the Senate PIPA bill is still live.

Let's presume the Senate copy goes to sleep too.

Is this that old trick of tiring us out with one round of protests then ridiculing us the next time when it re-emerges somewhere else?

Hmm, just a wee bit off topic? I know my Dharma theory better than your average parrot, tho' t'is ages until I deserve to be called a student.

But how precisely do we apply the Dharma to saving the internet?
