I am NEVER in awe of the stupidity of ANY Government official.
It's simply a case of dicks with money telling dicks in Government what to do and when to do it. That's it.
In this case it's the entertainment industry paying Washington to police their interest. Or simply put, "Here's some cash bitches. Now go do what we want".
YES Sir Movie bigshot. "By the way, can you get Johnny Depp to come to our Whitehouse Halloween party? That would be freaking awesome!"
Sure Obama... just run these two bills through and give this list to Mr. Holder. Now run along.
It's all about cash and who gives the most. It's no coincidence those bills weren't voted on the day after Google and a few others went to the Whitehouse.
Imagine.
If you use the same reasoning these dumbass officials used to go after Megaupload, they could shutdown the whole freaking internet, every cell phone company and every ISP known to man.
No joke.
The court documents against Megaupload basically say: Kim Dotcom owns a site that has copyrighted works on it and gets paid from memberships and ads.
Users upload copyrighted works which members can download said stored material with no payment of royalties to original copyright owners.
Hmmmm... Let's think about that.
What about Google?
No. Dude. How about Google Docs?
Oh, wait. Wet dream! What about Google Cache?
Freaking douche bags.
Does Google not produce links you can click on that go directly to copyrighted material?
Well I'll be damned. THEY DO!
And does Google not gain a profit from advertising using the same servers that give away such access to this copyrighted material?
Double damn. THEY DO!
So what's the problem?
Oh yea, Google donates cash to Washington politicians and to presidential campaigns as well.
You see, Obama (Currently - makes no difference who the stooge is) doesn't know who the hell Kim Dotcom is but certainly knows who Larry Page and Eric Schmidt is.
Cool. You see where this is going.
Now what about Att&T, Verizon, T-Mobile etc.
Do they not charge a monthly fee to be a "member" of their service?
And do they not allow it's "members" to share videos, songs, ringtones, whathaveyou - even allowing it's members to freely pass, exchange, giveaway such said material to other members of their service?
I freaking do believe they do....
Now riddle me this batman.
Do they not store what members trade freely between each other on "their" servers?
And do they not give these "members" direct access to the internet where, if they so choose, members can gain access to copyrighted material?
Ppppllllleeeease make it stop. We're just a phone company for Christ sake. We can't track what our members trade amongst themselves. But check this out...
I can tell you where Joe from Kansas is right now using 4g GPS.
Poor Kim. You gotsta grease the wheels of politics ya stupid rabbit. Tricks are for kids.
Ok. Don't wipe your ass just yet. There's more shit to come. Check this out.
How about the biggest mega-scammers in this game. Our ISP.
Do they not charge and profit from each and everyone of us month after month while giving us complete access to anything and everything copyrighted or not?
Lock up the internet folks. It was all a fad. There's nothing to see here. Move along.
Because If Kim Dotcom is responsible for not policing the contents of what is being uploaded and downloaded on Megaupload...
Then your ISP, Google, Facebook, Youtube, MSN, Yahoo (are they still open?) your cell phone, and practically every gadget run company is fother-muckin GUILTY!
However, the Government has other ideas. You see...
You can't handle the truth. Son, we live in a world where money talks and bullshit walks. In that world is a world that has no wires and that wireless world has to guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, lowlife citizen? We have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Megaupload, and you curse the U.S. Government. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what we know - that Megaupload's of the world, while tragic, probably saved elections; and our presidents existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves elections. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want us on the internet, you need us on the internet protecting the interest of the rich mega donors who keep us in office in turn keeps us protecting you.
We would rather that you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise we suggest you pick up your wallet and start giving us more of your hard-earned money. Either way, we don't give a DAMN where the money comes from but who gives us the biggest chunk to keep us in office is who we're going to take care of and do what it is they want done - everyone else isn't entitled to shit!
{I credit good Ol' Jack Nicholson for the above inspiration and every douche bag Government official around the world for my IBS - Irritable bowel syndrome for you regular people.}
