The entertainment and news media are promoting a most dangerous trend.
Hollywood and the media have been behind the prolific tightening of copyright laws that are intended to tighten their control and enhance profits and propaganda capability while muzzling news.
They intend to copyright the English language and Facebook intends to copyright your life.
They (Google etc) currently manipulate and eliminate derogatory search results for their friends, of which is essentially manipulating history.
They fraudulently charge concert goers huge ticket prices only to listen to a deceptive lip synched recording.
Who has the votes, SCOTUS? What case?
If this is how the internet will be, I’ll completely quit. Think it can’t happen? It did with cable TV.
Linking millions of people together...
Linking like minded folks together....
What if millions joined together to not pay income taxes?
What if millions of people stopped working for a week?
The people in power fear this....
I'm not surprised..that they are fighting to stop linking.
We are going to be in a big fight down this road........
All this will do is reshape the production of news. Small independents will welcome the income from Drudge like sites. The small independents will prosper and the old media will rot.
Drudge posts only links and a bare-bones synopsis of the subject matter - how can that be a copyright violation? He is actually directing people TO the various websites, giving them free publicity and increasing their “hits”.
