US Internet Censorship Bill, SOPA, is Coming Back
It sparked one of the biggest internet protests ever, and US lawmakers are trying to resurrect it from the grave.
In the early 2010's, one of the biggest tech stories of the time revolved around SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act). The proposed legislation, at the time, was a horrible bill where all

Es ist nun offiziell:
Das #nightofthelivingdead Remake von #TomSavini kommt nicht nur auf 4k raus, sondern auch endlich in der Uncut Version, die damals von der #MPAA abgelehnt wurde.
Das wird ein Fest! Und es übrigens eines der besten Remakes. Und ich bin immer skeptisch bei Remakes.Bestellt!

With the bar set extraordinarily high for NC-17 and AO for films and video games, the only reason for the MPA and the ESRB to apply those ratings is to condemn a work's contents, with the effect of damaging its commercial prospects, while at the same time making it seem mystical to all the daring. Who said anything about being informative?

#2004: "The Ninth Circuit had interpreted Betamax to protect the #filesharing companies. The #RIAA & #MPAA were never going to leave that precedent alone; the technology industry and the #EFF and #MarkCuban, too, were not going to leave this issue alone, either. No matter who won or lost, the Supreme Court had to settle the principle once and for all."

@freemo @d9dba0e072bdb353dfb0020de159126af47e69e133ea91bbd48e8bede37320e2 It is weird.
I have been watching more trailers as of late, and noticed that for the trailer for #AnatomyOfAFall, there was a warning from #YouTube because it discusses the possibility that someone committed suicide; yet for the trailer for #LaAbuela has straight up full frontal female nudity with no warning at all.
The only ratings system there is is run by the #MPAA, labeling trailers “green band” or “red band”, but theaters sometimes still play unrated trailers.
-
Remember when the #MPAA tried to convince everyone that downloading media was equivalent to auto theft? And how the message was so absurd that people still remember it as "You wouldn't download a car," even though that's never said?
It was a wild time.
(My favorite part was when they made this an unskippable lead-in on some DVDs, meaning the only way you could enjoy your entertainment without this inanity leading into it was... Bootlegging it).

GitHub has removed the ability to access youtube-dl's source code due to a DMCA request by the RIAA
... The clear purpose of this source code is to (i) circumvent the technological protection measures used by authorized streaming services such as YouTube, and (ii) reproduce and distribute music videos and sound recordings owned by our member companies without authorization for such use. We note that the source code is described on GitHub as “a command-line program to download videos from YouTube.com and a few more sites.” ...

@alcinnz It's one thing for the #EFF to form a united front with our corporate exploiters to defend #NetNeutrality against the cable oligopoly, or to fight #DRM #Crippleware pushed by the #MPAA, or some other issue where our interests are actually aligned. That's just good strategy (never fight a war on two fronts). But I have to agree with @aral and @Shamar on them having corporate-sponsored fellowships. We're seen what that kind of sell-out has done to #Mozilla, #Linux Foundation, and others

Disney runs schools in china. Disney runs literally entire cities, including cops and mass surveillance systems that operate in them.
How much do you want to bet they worked with #stratfor / are fully integrated into the fusion centers that track protesters and people generally throughout north america/elsewhere? #MPAA -
