May 20, 2012 - I used to be free on the internet, until I took a SOPA to the knee. This is where I find out knee jokes are copyrighted and I'm going to get a knock at the door.

Jan 23, 2012 - I think the greatest danger is that of false flag operations... If someone is speaking up to say, Fox News on a blog and gets allot of attention... Then Fox could start up 50 blogs from the same blog provider and fill them with copyrighted material.. And then have the ENTIRE blog provider shut down with every single blog on it.. And the government could actually do the same thing.. Don't like Guantanamo? Well i heard you got copyrighted material.. BOOM.. Silence...

They need to know that their pro-SOPA/PIPA propaganda treadmill and flagrant denial of the facts will not help them pass "SOPA 2.0" next month or later.

If I build a car and then sell it I don't have the right to let other people use that car. It's the same thing with music. Writers write songs and sell the licences to publishing companies and record labels. I still wrote the song but now the licence is the property of the publishing company. I don't have the right to send that song to rap review sights to have the review it.

Jan 21, 2012 - The fight is not over guys! We need your support again! ACTA, is an international trade agreement currently negociated by the European Union, the United States, Japan, Canada, South Korea, Australia as well as a few other countries, whose aim is to enforce copyright and tackle counterfeited goods (hence its acronym: Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement). Please thumbs this up to help raise awareness. It is worse then SOPA and will be passed in 6 days. It has been behind doors for years.

If a group of people are a "Corporation", this makes it easier to govern their activities related to revenue, taxes and employment laws if you can treat this "group" as a single entity. Similar rules apply to other business "classes" like LLC (Limited Liability Company) and Partnerships and Sole Proprietor. All for the same reasons.

proteusn7xr Says:

Jan 21, 2012 - Now anyone can become a "Corporation." A "Corporation" is simply a legal classification for a group of people. This group can consist of one or more people. That's right. One person can be a Corporation. I should know, I am. It has more to do with tax law than anything else. It is simply a "handle" so to speak, that the tax laws can "grab" onto. Its a way of taking a group of people and treating them all the same with respect to taxes.

proteusn7xr Says:

Jan 21, 2012 - A little more about Corporations: You think of a corporation as some mega wealthy, semi government with an ability to make laws. A corporation typically consists of a concrete and metal building, offices, desks, tables, chairs, and people. Now remove the people and what do you have left? Nothing. Corporations are just a group of people.

Jan 21, 2012 - Democracy and Capitalism are two different things. Democracy is a system of government. Capitalism is a system of economics. Yes, these two do influence each other in some ways. Perhaps that is what you where trying to say...

proteusn7xr Says:

Jan 21, 2012 - With Communism, the government has total control. The government may decide to tell you what your major will be in college, based on their determination of what skill sets the country needs. They determine where you live, where you work, how many children you can have, where and when you can travel.

proteusn7xr Says:

Jan 21, 2012 - Capitalism means you work a job generating as much income as your intellect allows, and the benefit you recieve from this work is directly proportional to your accomplishments.

proteusn7xr Says:

Jan 21, 2012 - Here are some very simple definitions: marxisim = put in what you can, get out what you need capitalism = you get out what you put in communism = put in what you are told to put in and the government decides what you need. Marxism, as defined by Karl Marx, "from each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs." This means that you work a job generating as much income as your intellect allows, but your pay will be the same as anyone else.

proteusn7xr Says:

Jan 21, 2012 - What has happened with SOPA is that a group of people (a.k.a. corporations) have gotten together to protect their interests, like RIAA. This group of people see that if piracy is allowed to continue, its only a matter of time before what they work so hard to create is simply worthless. They are banding together to protect their industry, their way of earning a living, their way of providing for their families, their way of putting food on their table. That is democracy.

proteusn7xr Says:

Jan 21, 2012 - People do control democracy. Coorporations are just a group of people, a special interest group if you will. Governments are also just a group of people. Groups of people get together and work together to lobby Congress to insure that their interests are protected. These are caled Special Interest Groups or SIGs. Sometimes they are sucessful, sometimes not. Some examples of SIGs: ACLU NAACP SEIU all Unions EAA AOPA AARP You get the point.

proteusn7xr Says:

Jan 21, 2012 - The principles of communism are simple: community property. That means in the purest sense, everything of yours is mine, and everything of mine is yours. From reading these blogs, the attitude of many would seem to suggest that they think that the only purpose of the internet is to share what you have with others. They seem to think that everything on the internet belongs to them. That's simply not the case. This should explain my use of the term "communist".
