The least Warriors Could Do and Should Have Done

10 replies
hi,

the war against SOPA/PIPA and now ACTA is going nowhere and seeing the matters worsen, I have a strange feeling that everything might just collapse once this is initiated, so why not do really something to help fight it.

How'd you feel if your affiliate or adsense sites are just killed because you re-posted video or image you liked?

There have been many guidance of what to do (like signing petitions, etc.), but since this is the place where maximum of you guys will be owning their own websites, you can do this too...

Just add this "Stop Censorship" Ribbon to your websites, might be a small contribution.

Follow this awesome guide here: Let me google that for you

I did it on my blog: Nishant Arora's Technology Blog

    SOPA and PIPA were stopped dead in their tracks. ACTA is an International legislation/agreement. I think the Internet did a damned good job of halting SOPA and PIPA.

      I agree, they tried to take away our freedom of speech and it's good to know we have come out on top of this latest legislation.

    You should not be doing that anyway!!

    You should go to a stock photo site and buy the rights to use any image used on your website. The same with video.

    The only exception being if the video is posted on Google, and you embed it on your website, from the video site.

    You won't get in trouble for embedding youtube videos.

      I'd feel like an idiot - because I know better. In fact, anyone working online should know better.

      I chuckled because I've seen a couple sites with a similar "fight this" banner and my thought was the person needed to update his site as that battle is over for now. I didn't know this was another - or continued - protest by some site owners.

    Reading this, I'm just wondering how you would feel, if you'd created and owned the video or image that someone stole for their affiliate or AdSense site?! :rolleyes:

    Now this is a good idea to stop internet harmful legislation... We should all do our little ways of stopping ACTA or whatever legislation that may come along...

      I disagree, the first battle has been won, so the war is going somewhere. I agree that the war is not over yet.

      As to the op's second sentance; I think that this has been adequately answered in the thread.

      Personally I think that the Warrior Forum, et al, did a first class job of raising awareness of this stupid, spiteful and greed driven legislation proposed by the few (who perceive that they will gain) in order to stifle freedom and attempt to criminalize the many.

      Just my thoughts,

      Jeff.

    Well everyone who thinks the battle is over... is wrong... the battle just started... next... the banner points to the avaaz campaign regarding ACTA in the EU-Continent... so please try to understand instead of laughing this away.

    Thanks
    PS: I have the rights of the images I have on my website... do not worry about that.
