The Pirate Bay Talks SOPA PIPA

The pirate bay Released a message about the whole idea of Sopa and Pipa. This is exactly what I have mentioned before. but with better form than what I tend to write.
In sum, sopa is just to just to ensure the entertainment industry’s monopoly on entertainment media, by creating laws that prevent people from using a method of media distribution, than what they already hold the capitol over. We are not ran by a company, a company is funded by us, we like to have the option to say ” no the entertainment you offer us is not good, we are not paying for it” and if they need to up their game, they should. Because as a person who like a good movie, I will on any day pay to sit in a theater with a massive screen and an audio system I could never own or afford.
I don’t steal. and I don’t like paying for low quality agenda based, crap media.

INTERNETS, 18th of January 2012. PRESS RELEASE, FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE.

Over a century ago Thomas Edison got the patent for a device which would “do for the eye what the phonograph does for the ear”. He called it the Kinetoscope. He was not only amongst the first to record video, he was also the first person to own the copyright to a motion picture.

Because of Edisons patents for the motion pictures it was close to financially impossible to create motion pictures in the North american east coast. The movie studios therefor relocated to California, and founded what we today call Hollywood. The reason was mostly because there was no patent. There was also no copyright to speak of, so the studios could copy old stories and make movies out of them – like Fantasia, one of Disneys biggest hits ever.

So, the whole basis of this industry, that today is screaming about losing control over immaterial rights, is that they circumvented immaterial rights. They copied (or put in their terminology: “stole”) other peoples creative works, without paying for it. They did it in order to make a huge profit. Today, they’re all successful and most of the studios are on the Fortune 500 list of the richest companies in the world. Congratulations – it’s all based on being able to re-use other peoples creative works. And today they hold the rights to what other people create. If you want to get something released, you have to abide to their rules. The ones they created after circumventing other peoples rules.

The reason they are always complainting about “pirates” today is simple. We’ve done what they did. We circumvented the rules they created and created our own. We crushed their monopoly by giving people something more efficient. We allow people to have direct communication between eachother, circumventing the profitable middle man, that in some cases take over 107% of the profits (yes, you pay to work for them). It’s all based on the fact that we’re competition. We’ve proven that their existance in their current form is no longer needed. We’re just better than they are.

And the funny part is that our rules are very similar to the founding ideas of the USA. We fight for freedom of speech. We see all people as equal. We believe that the public, not the elite, should rule the nation. We believe that laws should be created to serve the public, not the rich corporations.

The Pirate Bay is truly an international community. The team is spread all over the globe – but we’ve stayed out of the USA. We have Swedish roots and a swedish friend said this: The word SOPA means “trash” in Swedish. The word PIPA means “a pipe” in Swedish. This is of course not a coincidence. They want to make the internet inte a one way pipe, with them at the top, shoving trash through the pipe down to the rest of us obedient consumers. The public opinion on this matter is clear. Ask anyone on the street and you’ll learn that noone wants to be fed with trash. Why the US government want the american people to be fed with trash is beyond our imagination but we hope that you will stop them, before we all drown.

SOPA can’t do anything to stop TPB. Worst case we’ll change top level domain from our current .org to one of the hundreds of other names that we already also use. In countries where TPB is blocked, China and Saudi Arabia springs to mind, they block hundreds of our domain names. And did it work? Not really. To fix the “problem of piracy” one should go to the source of the problem. The entertainment industry say they’re creating “culture” but what they really do is stuff like selling overpriced plushy dolls and making 11 year old girls become anorexic. Either from working in the factories that creates the dolls for basically no salary or by watching movies and tv shows that make them think that they’re fat.

In the great Sid Meiers computer game Civilization you can build Wonders of the world. One of the most powerful ones is Hollywood. With that you control all culture and media in the world. Rupert Murdoch was happy with MySpace and had no problems with their own piracy until it failed. Now he’s complainting that Google is the biggest source of piracy in the world – because he’s jealous. He wants to retain his mind control over people and clearly you’d get a more honest view of things on Wikipedia and Google than on Fox News.

Some facts (years, dates) are probably wrong in this press release. The reason is that we can’t access this information when Wikipedia is blacked out. Because of pressure from our failing competitors. We’re sorry for that.

THE PIRATE BAY, (K)2012

Does the Entertainment Industry control us? or are they controlled by profits from us?

Sopa Bill in Route

Sopa Censored

Sopa Censored

A bill is being passed to change the way you are allowed to use the internet. this bill,law will prevent you from being able to warn people of what you witness.
Stop Online Piracy Act (sopa) bill is in route to be passed or dismissed. This bill will allow companies to make claim that another company’s website has items on their site that infringes their copyright. In turn, the accused site is required to remove said items, and the time frame to do so, is not much at all. Also to be shoved through at the same time is the bill for Net neutrality’s debate.
People are calling this a Censorship sweep. Internet communism, the beginning of NWO.
There are hacker groups talking about going on a huge hissy fit in the real world, while others are already digging up personal information of the people backing the bill. They want to see how they are connected to other events going on, and how involved they are in this passing of confinement laws.
If that is the case, I think I would quit working for those companies, or lead a group going on strike, just to prove I am not worth ruining the life of.

I myself am on a rickity fence. I see what some are trying to pass this sopa bill for, but I also see that the backers of the Sopa are near sited and not looking at the big picture of what the full potential outcome will be. They just see “ok good stuff for me, must mean success” but the end is one more confining scam that will silence people who need to speak.
I myself run a couple review sites. This one in fact. If I write about a company that seems to be doing people wrong, I should have legal open rights to warn others of what I had happen to , and let them test it out and see if it happens to them also. but by mentioning said company’s name I have stepped on their copyright and could face time in prison if the issue does not get resolved in a short time.
I know you are thinking that it should be slander, libel and many other regular laws. but you are missing out on YOUR side as the consumer. You are being a defeatist and saying that a company should have more rights than you. A company should be allowed to sell you items that are known to break easily, at a price that is regular with it’s competitors who might be of better quality.

We deserve the right to speak.

SOPA is a scam and will lead you into a consumer concentration camp of “tell me what I can enjoy next” maybe you are too near sited to see your lifetime that way. and probably don’t care for your children’s future. But someone needs to.
