No one owns the truth it is in common by all peoples from all time and place regardless of government race or creed. The criminals hide behind laws and power taking you right to be human away for a buck. The music and writers existed before copyright existed, find the truth of history and tell me what you find I expect you personally to take responsibility for this and to report back. When did this start what is the excuse given for its existence? Report! Do you think you know? You are being used. Time for a re think of so called copyright as the ability to copy is not held only by a capital intensive industry cutting trees making pulp paper setting type by hand and filling warehouses with bound tomes to be distributed. It is a new world indeed. Time for changes not more evil crap from politicians.

We could use something like this and hopefully the various governments will carefully consider this before going forward with any decision on copyrights and net neutrality issues. But sadly, they probably won’t because most governments have been corrupted by Big Business.

If corporations get their way, concepts like “fair use” and “public domain” will go the way of the dodo. Image our taxes going up because school libraries and public libraries will have to pay the corporate piper. I wouldn’t be surprised to see these SOB try to collect for singing your nation anthem.

Despite corporations saying they are protecting the rights of artists and content creators, what they are really protecting is their greed and control of power.

”…information is a perhaps the highest refined state of energy, and as such, man has no object in trying to control it, nor has he any success in this endeavor, ever. As such, any information that has found its way into public domain, through means legal or not, is to be considered free and uncontrollable. Moreover, any person that through direct action, or through lack of thereof, facilitates the distribution of information thus it, is to understand that he/she loses control over the information for all and any purposes [...]
[...] Time has come for man to see that there are things above his control, no matter his status or his prowess. Faced with a multitude of spirits demanding the information, willing and able to do all in their power to obtain it, not even the Sun can obliterate their access. This is truly the testing ground for the personality of the private entrepreneur and his understanding of the age of the free Internet. This defines his way of communicating and conducting business with the generation that grew up to understand that nothing is truly impossible or hidden.”

I think people should finally throw off that “everything´s free” mentality that´s been force onto them and embrace what “Pirate” means today: someone who stands up for his/her/their digital freedoms. It´s long past just getting free stuff, it´s keeping the possibility of free thought, speech, opinion, religion (in which ever formit might manifest itself in the digital world), ideas, creations etc alive in current times when they´re being crushed to death.
Be a Pirate, a free soul on this endless Digital Ocean, who rather dies than allows his/her freedom to be taken away.
“Aaaargggg!”, I say.
