This is violating YOUR rights.
This isn't an attack on piracy, it's an attack on everyone's basic rights. - mentaldingo, on 06/09/2008, -0/+7If I could digg this twice, I would.
- Naralesca, on 06/09/2008, -1/+6We need to raise awareness of this. Personally I think that this idea is too absurd to be enforcable, even if it is passed, but the point is, it is an infringement upon your rights, and everyone who may be affected by this needs to be made aware (do you download the odd song from Limewire? Even if it is a rare one that you're not likely to find in shops? Then this applies to you).
- MlKO, on 06/10/2008, -0/+4Do the public have a say in ANYTHING anymore?
Why is it when they know everyone will be against the idea they simply don't ask...
Stuff like this makes me Rage - gentlememe, on 06/09/2008, -0/+4id like to say that im amazed that they would dream up something like this, but really im not. its entirely predictable that they would attempt to police the one arena where individuals have been allowed to express their ideas(practically for free). this must be stopped
- pilobilus, on 06/09/2008, -0/+4This could be just the boost Freenet needs, to go mainstream. Moves like the proposed
treaty were anticipated long ago... http://freenetproject.org/ - TheGodHand, on 06/17/2008, -0/+2More power to the state, baby! CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN!
I sincerely hope that one day Americans will finally start to wake up and see the Federal Government for what it is, and how much of a ***** it's turning the country in to. Either that or SkyNet wins the presidency by hacking Diebold and initiates Option Zero. Either way, epic lulz should ensue. - AnonymousRex1, on 06/10/2008, -0/+2i swear to ***** god if this happens i will take physical, destructive action against this treaty.
- az76107, on 06/10/2008, -0/+2we need to tell EVERYONE about this. EVERYONE. tell your friends, family, etc. go to every forum you've ever browsed, and link this article. we MUST digg this to the front page.
we keep talking about our power to change things, to be a force for good, well this is our chance. we need to drop all the ***** infighting among all of us, regardless of what site, ethnicity, etc. we hail from, and throw this into the spotlight.
this is our proverbial last stand. if this passes, the internet as we know it will die, forever gone and replaced by a fascist ghost of a dream of freedom that could have been.
we've all been so cavalier about our own little wild west, with corners unkown and untamed, but now we have to fight for it, we have to do everything we can. if we don't do this, if we fail, it's over.
this is it, ladies and gentlemen, this is the final boss of the internet. let's show these bastards that we're not going to take anymore of their *****. - paradocks, on 06/14/2008, -0/+2***** pathetic. Absolutely ***** pathetic. US, go bomb yourselves so your ***** government can stop proposing stupid and pathetic ideas which breaches OUR BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS IN OTHER ***** COUNTRIES.
I blame the US for everything, the exact reason humanity is ***** and pathetic. If this passes, then I'm giving up all hope on humanity. The End of the Internet is upon us. - †Terminus†, on 06/11/2008, -0/+2Hai, Iz this whar I start INTERNET REVOLUTION?
- Peterix, on 06/10/2008, -0/+2You're not the only one.
- dancehard, on 06/09/2008, -2/+3This has so many avenues for abuse it's just not feasible!
- metaphzle, on 06/11/2008, -0/+1Basically destroying the internet of a good amount of us. =(
- masterzman, on 06/10/2008, -0/+1
this topic relates to part III of zeitgeist
http://www.generalmclane.com - jhand69r, on 06/09/2008, -1/+2 This needs to be read
- inactive, on 06/11/2008, -0/+1Alright every poltician is on drugs and smoking too much pot.
- Nolimit, on 06/11/2008, -0/+1How are they going to be able to tell if what we have is stolen? The whole point of the digital revolution was so you don't have to carry around dvd's and cd's everywhere. Still an absolutely absurd idea, bring back the Constitution!!!!!!
- TheDeadMilkman, on 06/11/2008, -0/+1That the problem nowadays. We gave these people an inch of rope and they took a mile of it. Unless there is drastic action to show the companies and our governments that we are pissed. Nothing will happen. They will just continue to step on rights as long as we let them. Eventually it'll be only violence that gets their attention.
- NrGZaM, on 06/09/2008, -1/+2As already stated, this screws with everyone.
- shjoity, on 06/11/2008, -0/+1Make this article dugg!
- Zephistage, on 06/14/2008, -0/+1This is ludicrous. If this passes, I have lost faith in the American government.
And I'm a Republican. - majestichazard, on 06/11/2008, -0/+1Then it's your word against your own fascist government's. It gives them an excuse to confiscate your computer.
- Demilitarized, on 06/14/2008, -0/+1Hey, most of our rights to privacy are worth jack ***** now.
- SoulfulZen, on 06/17/2008, -0/+1Oh *****! Oh, ***** *****! Dude, we're all *****! Ladies and gentlemen, this is a travesty. This is, to paraphrase KMFDM, "A war of the Moral Majority, of corporate dot-com imperialism, of mindlessly bumbling stupidity and police-state terrorism." In short, over 2/3 of the developed world is going to be indebted thousands of dollars. Remember the Michigan woman who got fined twenty thousand or so for nine songs? Jesus, do the math!
- majestichazard, on 06/11/2008, -0/+1AND MY AXE.
- Physhi, on 06/11/2008, -0/+1Actually it also says that any ISP needs to be fully cooperational with these guys. In otherwords, if you're torrenting anything completely legal -- they can track you down, and search your stuff.
- bbbren, on 06/11/2008, -0/+1i've only torrented 2gb or so of music, but damn these guys are out of touch with people, they want any excuse to strip liberties from us, with exaggeration of piracy and terrorism. something must be done.
- majestichazard, on 06/11/2008, -0/+1fix'd
This has so many avenues for abuse it's probably going to pass with no trouble at all! - Skooma714, on 06/18/2008, -0/+1You mean the news corporations which move lock-step with the government?
- aidsandiabeetus, on 06/11/2008, -1/+1This goes beyond anything they have done before. Nothing could be so despicable as this.
- heavyoak, on 06/14/2008, -0/+0I am telling every one I can about this at this moment. the act of government will be stopped one way or another.
- elmokashfi19, on 06/11/2008, -0/+0This is another example that the government doesn't believe in the right layed down by our four fathers. Everything we have fought and died for over the years is getting spat on by todays society and it is disgusting.
- arekieh, on 06/11/2008, -0/+0wow you guys are pretty stupid.
How do they know something is pirated? What if ur OS is pirated? Even if u have movies on your computer, just say you ripped them to your computer so that if u lost the disc you would still hvae the movie. and guess what happened..... you lost the disc ;) - elmokashfi19, on 06/11/2008, -0/+0you have my support
- GootBluton, on 06/17/2008, -0/+0So police will not only be able to crash a party, but take away their stereo system for running a burned mix CD too
- lotb, on 06/17/2008, -0/+0this is *****
we at jeff nipples world will not stand for it - SoulfulZen, on 06/17/2008, -0/+0No amount of pot will make you stupid enough to think this ***** up. You have to be on PCP, heroin and coke to be this ***** in the head.
- hekoshi, on 06/11/2008, -0/+0America is so close to a revolution... the government is basically screwing itself with this
- Anonynamefag, on 06/14/2008, -0/+0I can't digg this hard enough...
- LokisWhispers, on 06/17/2008, -0/+0I'll believe it when I see it on a major news network. Not on Digg, Wikipedia, and a few papers. Something like this would easily make CNN and FOXNews the moment they caught wind of it.
- Codename46, on 06/10/2008, -2/+1The Digg sheeple are too busy performing fellatio on Obama.
