Globally, Governments are enacting much needed legislative ammmendments to the original laws and constitution of the land.

 

These legislative imperatives are urgently needed by global commercial interests to insure the criminalisation of everyone over eight years old that either uses or attempts to do any business on the Internet.

I came across a great quote today:

It is so powerful in it’s simplicity that it could even form the basis of an amendment to the constitution of any country.

“So, while big business can afford to pay for you to promote broken copyright regulations… I, the modern consumer, don’t have to pay for movements like anonymous to defend my right to get entertainment the way I want it.

What do I want?

1. I want to download movies; all of them, even the old ones that will
   no longer make a buck for corporates to sell so don’t get
   re-released.

2.  I want to be able to read and make comments about the
   movie/music/books/whatever at the source of the download.

3.  I want to NOT pay for unnecessary and un-environmental plastic
   packaging of entertainment.

4.  I want NEVER to be denied an option to watch a movie, read a book,
   listen to music that is available in other countries, but not in
   my country because of broken copyright laws and regulations that
   you are trying to protect.

I feel sorry for you Neil. You are like a galant captain, going down with his sinking ship. Don’t trick yourself. The copyright laws you are trying to protect are losing. They deserve to as they refuse to evolve and change with the environment around it. Swap teams Neil. Help bring about the much needed change that the Australian public is demanding.” Anonymous Location The internet Date and time February 27, 2012, 7:54AM A quote from the Comments section of the following Article: http://www.theage.com.au/it-pro/business-it/preventing-online-theft-benefits-all-20120226-1tw39.html Another comment linked this great explanation of the topic: http://theoatmeal.com/comics/game_of_thrones So when do we want SOPA/PIPA and ACTA ? Err, Straight after the industry fix the little problem they’ve got delineated by the above comments which will amazingly make the need for SOPA, PIPA and ACTA immediately disappear.

Dear Reader, want to make a change ?

Send the above four items with the Oatmeal Link to every politician you know.

Suggested letter to your local politician:

Cut Here:  ——————————————————————————————————————–

Dear [Insert your local members name here]

 

We the tax paying people of this nation, who elected you to into office so that you could serve our needs, require  that you give consideration to the following items …

The Content Manifesto: (items 1-4 above)

1. I want to download movies; all of them, even the old ones that will
   no longer make a buck for corporates to sell so don’t get
   re-released.
2.  I want to be able to read and make comments about the
   movie/music/books/whatever at the source of the download.
3.  I want to NOT pay for unnecessary and un-environmental plastic
   packaging of entertainment.
4.  I want NEVER to be denied an option to watch a movie, read a book,
   listen to music that is available in other countries, but not in
   my country because of broken copyright laws and regulations that
   you are trying to protect.

Should you fail to give heed to our requests, then please either reduce our taxes by 38% [hereafter to be known as the discretionary entertainment budget allowance - May also be referred to as the Hollywood Bail-out] so that we the people can afford to be entertained so that we the people will continue to be motivated to work for the taxes, [where jobs are available,] that you need from us or please update your Resume, because we the people won’t be voting for you again.

Of course “we the people” now have cameras on all our phones and are creating enough content on Youtube every eleven days to completely replace all of Hollywoods last 100 years of content creation so if you pass SOPA, PIPA and ACTA, we the people will still have our peer created content, but you won’t have Hollywood lobbyists buying you lunch any more, nor will you have a job.
