Act Today To Save The Internet - Oppose SOPA
[LESS INFO] 10 VIEWS | ADDED 22:00:00 11/17/11
The House Judiciary Committee held a hearing today on the "Stop Internet Piracy Act" (aka SOPA). In typical Republican fashion, it was not broadcast on CSPAN and many interested parties were excluded from the proceedings. In fact, the only technology company allowed to testify was Google , who opposes the proposed law along with a coalition of companies which includes Facebook, eBay and Zynga , along with others.
If ever there were a law designed to fatten the pockets of intellectual property attorneys, it is this proposed law. It has the potential to change the Internet, and not for the better. Written by and for large media companies like Comcast, it places full responsibility for intellectual property piracy on the shoulders of site owners rather than users.
As currently written, any website that quoted another site's content, or linked to a site that quoted another site's content could be declared a rogue site by the content owner, whether or not that content is subject to fair use rules. Once declared "rogue", companies like Paypal and Visa could then cut off payments immediately without the benefit of a hearing or due process of law. Fair use? Free speech? Forget about it. Here is the official summary from the House Judiciary Committee site. >
This bill focuses not on technology but on preventing those who engage in criminal behavior from reaching directly into the U.S. market to harm American consumers.
We cannot continue a system that allows criminals to disregard our laws and import counterfeit and pirated goods across our physical borders.
Nor can we fail to take effective and meaningful action when criminals misuse the Internet.
The problem of rogue websites is real, immediate and wide-spread. It harms all sectors of the economy.
And its scope is staggering. One recent survey found that nearly one quarter of global Internet traffic infringes on copyrights.
A second study found that 43 sites classified as ‘digital piracy’ generated 53 billion visits per year and that 26 sites selling just counterfeit prescription drugs generated 51 million hits annually.
Since the United States produces the most intellectual property, our country has the most to lose if we fail to address the problem of these rogue websites.
Responsible companies and public officials have taken note of the corrosive and damaging effects of rogue sites.
That last line is dripping with finger-pointing, as the announcement goes on to extol the virtuous Mastercard company while excoriating Google. Mastercard, of course, supports this wholeheartedly, while Google opposes it, along with Facebook and other websites. The Electronic Frontier Foundation points out that s ites like Vimeo, Flickr and Etsy would likely die as a result of this legislation.
Rebecca MacKinnon, former CNN reporter and senior fellow at the New America Foundation, had this to say : >
The bills would empower the attorney general to create a blacklist of sites to be blocked by Internet service providers, search engines, payment providers and advertising networks, all without a court hearing or a trial. The House version goes further, allowing private companies to sue service providers for even briefly and unknowingly hosting content that infringes on copyright — a sharp change from current law, which protects the service providers from civil liability if they remove the problematic content immediately upon notification. The intention is not the same as China’s Great Firewall, a nationwide system of Web censorship, but the practical effect could be similar.
Abuses under existing American law serve as troubling predictors for the kinds of abuse by private actors that the House bill would make possible. Take, for example, the cease-and-desist letters that Diebold, a maker of voting machines, sent in 2003, demanding that Internet service providers shut down Web sites that had published internal company e-mails about problems with the company’s voting machines. The letter cited copyright violations, and most of the service providers took down the content without question, despite the strong case to be made that the material was speech protected under the First Amendment.
Indeed. MacKinnon goes on to point out that this bill goes far beyond intellectual property protection. In particular, the House bill is set up to hold companies liable for users' actions. That would kill YouTube forever, but more importantly, it sets up an environment where power is freely wielded by those with the resources to shut down those without resources. Imagine Fox News declaring this site "rogue", for example. Search engines would block all traffic and results, and our right to speak freely (and criticize them freely) would be infringed upon. The same is true of Media Matters. Those with the lawyers and the money would win by default.
The Occupy movement? Dead. They'd shut down the Facebook and Twitter accounts along with the live stream without cause. Simply call it "rogue" and be done. That's how totalitarian societies operate and it's anathema to anyone who understands the Internet.
BusinessWeek : >
As Brad Burnham of Union Square Ventures says in a blog post, what these bills do is expose a fundamental disconnect between proponents of an open Internet and companies and legislators who would rather create their own kind of Internet: a version of the Web that’s less chaotic, more respectful, and most importantly, a lot easier to control. As Burnham notes, that kind of Internet would make things a lot easier for content producers and entertainment conglomerates, but it would remove or imperil a lot of the things that make the Internet so valuable:
“The Internet is not just a series of pipes. Its core architecture embeds an assumption about human nature.
> The Internet is designed to empower individuals, not control them. It assumes that the if individuals are empowered, they will do the right thing the vast majority of the time.
”
Over the past few days, I've seen reports that this bill is dead and other reports that it's alive and kicking. There are many who are raising their voices against it, including Oregon Senator Wyden, who has placed a hold on it. Unfortunately, it's a bipartisan bill. It shouldn't be. No Democrat should support this kind of suppression online. None. No conservative with true respect for the Constitution should support this kind of suppression, and indeed, one of those who oppose it is Ron Paul, to his credit.
As much as it pains me to admit this, I find myself on the same side as Darrell Issa. Via The Hill : >
Issa said the rush to hold the hearing was based on the flawed assumption that the bipartisan bill would quickly become law and said the sponsors didn’t want to hear from opponents, but must now accept that there is real opposition to their bill.
“What they’re realizing is there are so many unintended consequences that they can’t just use Google as a piñata and bash on it here,” he said, citing the broad coalition of opposition encompassing the tech industry, the left and the right.
“I don’t believe this bill has any chance on the House floor,” Issa added when asked about the odds of the bill moving forward after passing the Judiciary Committee. “I think it’s way too extreme, it infringes on too many areas that our leadership will know is simply too dangerous to do in its current form.”
The bottom line here? Many of these lawmakers don't know enough about the Internet to understand the issues at stake. Further, as companies like Amazon, Apple, Spotify, Hulu and others develop ways to stream their content at affordable prices to users, piracy will likely decline. Dropping a nuclear bomb on the Internet is unnecessary to prevent piracy. This is really about control. Comcast wants control of what users can see and stream on their pipes, something I predicted back when they first proposed merging with NBC-Universal.
This attempt by mega-corporations to take control of the Internet needs to be stopped cold. There has been a huge online response expressing opposition, but it needs to continue. Please sign the EFF petition here , or call your representatives to register your opposition to a law which is unnecessarily draconian and serves only the interests of corporations who do not serve yours.

The BMW M5Normally, business class sedans are kept on a short leash. They diligently fulfil their duties, bringing their drivers and passengers from point A to B. But some models just don't fit in. Like the BMW M5.Since 1984 it's been one of the leading high performance sedans in the premium class. Now the Bavarians have unveiled the fifth generation of this super-sports car. The high-revving 4.4 liter V8 engine with M TwinPower turbo technology puts out a staggering 412 kilowatts of power. drive it! unleashed this animal on the race track. picture it! MIA - The Electric Citymobile for AllMIA is a SHE. That's according to her creator, the former VW chief designer Murat Günak. She's more than an electric car. She's a whole new brand and, if Günak gets his way, a revolution in mobility. Several versions go into mass production in 2012.They include a three-seater, a four-seater and a kind of van for cargo transport. The basic model with the smallest battery costs 23,500 euros - and will last for 80 kilometers between chargings. Some 10 thousand units are to be built next year in France. test it!

Its second generation has been on the market for a year now.It's 22 cm longer yet 30 kg lighter than its predecessor. The new Sharan sports sliding doors on both sides built to improve access to the second and third seating rows. After all, it's the variable seating that has made this model so attractive to families. drive it! put the new Sharan through its paces.

The headlights on modern cars are well hidden among the car's inner workings so getting to them often demands blood, sweat and tears.That means changing headlight bulbs is a staple job for many mechanics, and now more so than ever.

If you like the show, please leave a 5-star review! Anyone is welcome to come by the show to watch as part of the live studio audience - 4pm Friday Special Guest: Hugh MacLeod Your Twitter bio says you are a "Cartoonist, bestselling author and marketing apostate." I had to go look up apostate and it's defined as "a person who abandons his religion, party, or cause." So have you abandoned marketing? Tell us about social objects? what is a social object and how do they relate to social networks? How should marketers think about social objects? Marketing Automation: Doing It Right http://www.hubspot.com/marketing-automation-examples/bid/28757/Great-Marketing-Automation-Ontolo-s-New-Version-Announcement I've been doing a poor job of giving you what you really, truly need as a link builder. For some reason, I thought I knew what you wanted better than you did. Because of that, we've built some of the most complex link building tools in the industry. In this letter (reprinted in part uncensored with their permission), the CEO of Ontolo, Ben Wills, apologizes for having led their product in a bad direction over their last version and explains the thought process and decisions that spurred the newest version of their product, which they are releasing next week. Ben ends the letter with a note that he will be sending a follow-up email with more product specific information on Friday morning to follow up, and thanks the community for being involved. The email never directly asks for anything except the reader's forgiveness for being subjected to sub-par software. They used this letter in other channels besides email, by publishing it on their blog and social media accounts as well. Ben sets clear expectations for his follow-up - After sending this message on Wednesday, he notes that you'll receive another email on Friday with more information about the next version of their product. On Friday morning when the next email went out, the people who received it were excited to do so: Ontolo had built up some suspense and excitement for the next version of their software. Imagine if your leads were actually EXCITED to receive their next piece of email marketing from you. Marketing Takeaway: You don't have to kill kittens when you automate your marketing efforts.

Instead, choose a gmail account that is accessible to multiple members of your marketing team (e.g. companymarketingteam@gmail.com), and use that account to create your page.

Nearly The News #085
THE CIRCLE OF REALLY BAD DREAMS
Cap News is reporting that Disney Studios re-release of its classic animated film The Lion King, will offer a whole new generation of children the chance to be traumatized when the young protagonist witnesses his father's brutal murder and is tricked into believing he is responsible for the death.
"The scene where Mufasa falls from a cliff and is trampled to death as Simba watches helplessly was probably the single most wrenching emotional moment for millions of children in the 1990s," said Edwin Catmull, president of Disney Animation Studios. "That's what Disney is all about."
Catmull noted that since the new version is in Disney Digital 3-D, the experience will be even more poignant for today's youngsters, who will feel like Mufasa "is falling to his death right on top of them."
VEGAS BOOKIES: SHOULD HAVE TAKEN THE OVER
Gamblers in Vegas are scratching their heads over the continuing marriage of Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries. A casino spokesman told NTN that the over/under on how long the relationship would last was two months, three days. “Some bettors are going to take a real bath,” said the source. “But I guess love wins out… or they just haven’t closed their merch deals for their divorce special yet.”
OWS: CHAPTER SIXTY FOUR – VEGAN CABINET POSITIONS
And finally…
Occupy Wall Street, the grass roots movement that has been holding sit ins across the country, has responded to criticism that it is just an unfocused bunch of hippies, lefties and college kids, by releasing a list of demands totaling some six hundred pages.
“We got really cranked last night, took out our Ipads and the words just flowed,” said an OWS spokesperson wearing a mask. “We want more vegan mayors in government, no more bank profits, and like, stop killing animals for lipstick testing… cause that sucks too.”
Other demands from the group include an overhauling of the feds monetary policy, breast feeding rights for the transgendered, and Cheetos.

Nic Windley answers a question about what’s happening in the world of business, marketing and sales when it comes to engaging customers and generating leads, sales and loyalty especially in the digital space. The biggest challenge especially in the B2B world is being able to communicate with people when they actually need you, instead of throwing message at large audiences in the hope that some might be in a position to buy. Buyers have new processes today and make decisions in very different ways than they did before and now is the time to realign your business generation activities so that they are more aligned with your buyers allowing you to be more relevant and ditch the waste.

China's Migrant Workers Ready to Strike, Report Finds
For more news visit ☛ english.ntdtv.com Follow us on Twitter ☛ http Add us on Facebook ☛ me.lt China's economy has grown over the past decade, but the wealth hasn't been spread very evenly. Many of China's migrant workers still work for low pay and have few rights. But a recent report is showing that a new generation is ready to do something about it. Here's the story. It's a life not many could imagine -- moving away from home and family to eek out a meager living working factory job after factory job. But for China's 158 million migrant workers, these are the facts of life. [Wang Long, 24-Year-Old Migrant Worker]: "I don't have a definite direction. I work in this factory today and the other tomorrow. What could I do if I get old? That's not good, if I cannot have a formal and stable job after my 30s. How will I raise my family in the future?" But a recent report released by Hong Kong-based China Labour Bulletin on October 11th, is showing a trend -- a generation of younger migrant workers are willing and able to fight for their rights. Over half of the 158 million were born after 1980 and belong to the so-called "new generation" of migrant workers. They're adept at using the Internet to mobilize and in 2009 staged about 30000 labor protests, according to the report. [Geoffrey Crothall, Labour Bulletin Spokesman]: "They're very good at organizing protests and keeping each other informed of what is going on, what their demands are, what the response of management has ...

La necesaria b?squeda del sustento convierte a los matorrales en el mejor amigo para las mujeres Triquis, cuando el viento y el sol las descubren la b?squeda suele convertirse en una actividad peligrosa sujeta a violaci?n y muerte, como el muy presente 7 de septiembre de 2010 cuando Natalia Cruz Bautista y Francisca de Jes?s Garc?a mujeres Triquis que intentaban ir por alimento para sus hijos e hijas, fueron interceptadas de manera agresiva por paramilitares y una de ellas violada y la otra herida de bala en el hombro, ?se meten con nosotras por que saben que ya no tenemos miedo? nos dicen a un grupo de mujeres que fuimos en busca de unas entrevistas y regresamos con inmenso aprendizaje. Un grupo de mujeres con vestidos rojos resiste no solo en las calles, en sus caminos, en su comunidad, sino tambi?n en el z?calo de la ciudad de Oaxaca, ellas unas cuantas pero con la fuerza suficiente para organizarse y protegerse entre ellas, con la fortaleza y convicci?n que un desalojo ya es poco para tanta balacera en San Juan Copala, balacera a la que lxs ninxs han estado acostumbradxs desde hace meses, balacera que ha asesinado a compa?eros, compa?eras, esposas, esposos, hijas, hijos, costumbre que ha costado vidas, pero que ahora las mujeres triquis con todo su dolor, con toda su rabia luchan de manera pacifica, contundente y con fortaleza para romper el cerco medi?tico y paramilitar que obstruye el acceso de alimentos, de salud y educaci?n a San Juan Copala, las mujeres Triquis conocidas por sus huipiles rojos, y condenadas por generaciones a las vejaciones hoy est?n exigiendo su derecho a la libre autodeterminacion de los pueblos. En el Z?calo de Oaxaca las mujeres pasan y pasan visten de diferentes formas, algunas con lentes negros para cubrir los ojos del sol, unas desconcertadas observan a las mujeres Triquis en su andar, otras asombradas miran a lxs ninxs que juegan en las cercan?as del campamento de las mujeres Triquis, otras solo pasan sin observar, sin poner atenci?n a las demandas, sin mirarlas a ellas siquiera, distra?das y enga?adas por los amos del capital, por la cosm?tica que atenta contra su ser, por la moda que despoja los huipiles, otras indignadas convierten la lucha de las Triquis en las suyas, algunas con miedo de estar alg?n d?a en el lugar de ellas solo saludan y sujetan a sus hijxs de la mano. ?luchamos por que somos mujeres? dice una de ellas, mujeres que ya no est?n de acuerdo a seguir sometidas, mujeres que ahora son las proveedoras del alimento arriesgando as? su propia vida. Mujeres y hombres Triquis que a travez de los anos su lucha ha sido criminalizada, por los criminales que despojan, violan y asesinan a los indios e indias de sus tierras. Mujeres que hoy se levantan y salen de su comunidad no para huir, sino para dar a conocer su palabra y su resistencia, como pueblos indios, como pueblo Triqui, como madres, hijas, como mujeres. Por que en donde sea que sus pies las anden ellas seguir?n siendo Triquis, por que el rojo de sus hupiles es una inspiraci?n y una constante resistencia. Por que la justicia llegara para David Garc?a Reyes, Paulino Ram?rez Reyes, Antonio Cruz Garc?a, Rigoberto Ram?rez Gonz?lez, Teresa Bautista, Felicitas Martinez, Virginia, Daniela, Cleriberta Castro, Bety Carino, Natalia Cruz Bautista y Francisca de Jes?s Gracia, Jiry Jaakkola, Timoteo Alejandro, Antonio Ram?rez L?pez y Antonio Cruz Garc?a, Rigoberto Ram?rez Gonz?lez y Pedro Santos Castro, Celestino Hern?ndez, H?ctor Antonio Ram?rez y El?as Fern?ndez menor de edad (9 a?os). ENGLISH----- The Triqui Weaving The weaving of women has become more constant, grandmothers, daughters, granddaughters weave with their threads, with their hands, with their words, weaving resistance, opening roads with their worthy rage, moving forward for themselves as they have done so many times before, roads that can now be easily confused by the red on their huipiles (traditional indigenous dress) because of all of the bloodshed in their community, the huipiles (traditional indigenous dress) are embroidered and worked by the hands of the Triqui women, women that alongside their people have been repressed, humiliated, until reaching a point where the majority that live in the outskirts of the city have been misled and deceived thinking that we are masters and mistresses of our lives, receiving what we do not need, surviving with what we do not want and forgetting our needs. I choose to forget those that propagandize, those that repress and fill the dignified roads of San Juan Copala with blood, those that shame the land with each act of displacement, with violations, with murders, those that hate that the Triqui people will once again rise up and demand justice, fighting for what is theirs. The women of the red huipil (traditional indigenous dress), the women with their braids, the women with their baby by their breast, the weavers, the triqui women stand up to demand food for their children, husbands, mothers, for their people, food, which is necessary to survive and justice to live. The bushes become the Triqui women?s best friend because the necessary search for livelihood is a dangerous activity subjected to rape and murder, like on September 7th, when Natalia Cruz Bautista and Francisca de Jes?s Garc?a, both Triqui women, intended to go in search for food for their children were intercepted by paramilitaries aggressively and one of them was raped while the other was shot in the shoulder. ?They mess with us because they know that we are no longer afraid,? said a group of Triqui women to us who went in search of interviews and returned with immense learning. A group of women with red dress resist not only in the streets, in their journeys, in their communities, but also in the zocalo (city center) in the city of Oaxaca, there is only a few of them but they have enough strength to organize and protect each other, with the conviction that a forced removal from the zocalo (city center) is a small thing to endure because they have been enduring constant gun fire in San Juan Copala, gun fire that for months the children have become accustomed to, gun fire that has murdered comrades, wives, husbands, daughters, sons, a custom that has cost lives, but now the Triqui women with all their pain, with all their rage fight peacefully, in order to break the media blockade and paramilitary obstructing access to food, health services, and education to San Juan Copala, the Triqui women are known for their red huipiles (traditional indigenous dresses) and condemned for generations to abuse, today stand up to demand their right to self determination. In the zocalo (city center) of Oaxaca women that are dress differently walk by, some with black sunglasses to cover their eyes from the sun, some are bewildered and observe the triqui women, others are amazed and watch the children playing near the encampment of the triqui women, others walk by without observing, without paying attention to the demands, without even acknowledging them, distracted and deceived by the masters of capital, by cosmetics that threatens their being, by the fashion that strips them from the huipiles (traditional indigenous dresses), others become angry and make the Triquis struggle their own, some that fear that one day they will be in the same place as the Triqui women only greet them and hold their children by the hand. ?we fight because we are women?, said one of them, women who are no longer willing to remain subdued, women that are now the providers of food risk their own lives. For years the struggle of Triqui women and men has been criminalized, by the criminals that rape and murder the Indians from their land. Women that rise up now and come out from their communities not to run away, but to let their word and their resistance be known, like indians, like Triqui people, like mothers, daughters, like women. Wherever their feet takes them they will always be Triquis, because the red in their hupiles (traditional indigenous dresses) is an inspiration and constant resistance. Justice will come for David Garc?a Reyes, Paulino Ram?rez Reyes, Antonio Cruz Garc?a, Rigoberto Ram?rez Gonz?lez, Teresa Bautista, Felicitas Martinez, Virginia, Daniela, Cleriberta Castro, Bety Carino, Natalia Cruz Bautista y Francisca de Jes?s Gracia, Jiry Jaakkola, Timoteo Alejandro, Antonio Ram?rez L?pez y Antonio Cruz Garc?a, Rigoberto Ram?rez Gonz?lez y Pedro Santos Castro, Celestino Hern?ndez, H?ctor Antonio Ram?rez y El?as Fern?ndez who is a minor (9 years of age).
