Mwhahaha it amuses me that you don’t like Studios and labels making money out of artists but don’t mind if Kim Dotcom gets outrageously rich of the back of their work. Hypocrisy……. Surely not!

I have also heard that the US government is attempting to bring public domain works back under copyright, have to admit I’m not a US citizen & have not seen any articles about it, not even sure where I heard it but must admit it did raise some concern that as well as extending copyright they are now after the Public Domain, a very worrying state of affairs I think you’ll agree.

On a side note one of the petitions above says “in the US or not” can you explain how coz when I looked the site itself says US & Sign Up says US citizens so how do I go about this being in the UK? Sorry if I’m being dumb :D

Yup. The American people aren’t the issue. The US government is the problem.

also, mpaa riaa and authors would be busy instead of sending you takedown notices with checking forums and sending you “hey, this content is mine/i represent this author, send me some money when someone downloads it”.

This concept would also stimulate people to create because they could get money for quality content and use viral marketing, but not fully dismissing large corporations because if i am too busy creating and don’t have time or skills to promote myself over the internet, let them handle the marketing and financial stuff. I already see different marketing packages that you could buy from them for promotion that are guaranteeing x downloads.

the only difference between filesharing as we know it and this is that the filesharing company isn’t greedy as hell.
Old farts wouldn’t get fired because their skills in marketing, events and similiar would still be needed, and young people would get a new channel in which to present their creativity to the world instead of transformating itself into full blown consumeristic society…

Cool :)

Just shows how sneaky those behind ACTA have been, coz that Treaty is utterly evil and despicable to the extent of being genuinely fascist in it’s proposals to similarly destroy innovation and freedom.

You would get it for free, just like now, by following a link on a forum or similiar link aggregator, waiting 60 seconds or watching a short commercial, because you don’t need premier membership and it won’t kill you waiting a bit..
