My Opinion About The Current Web Crisis (SOPA) (Mega Upload)
Megaupload.com had 150 mil registered users... Think about how many of those users actually meant good to the web and was providing for their family from doing business through megaupload.com without breaking the law.:rolleyes:
Ok, so the Gov have shut/shot it down because they have breached piracy and internet laws.
Unlawful activities are being done there and on other sites such as the illegal distribution of music, videos, pics you name it(stuff)!! While those activities need to be reduce, one must come to grips that it wont stop suddenly on the net even if SOPA is place into effect. Ok so maybe the site was doing more "harm than good". However personally i feel that just suddenly knocking the site off the face of the web is also going to do more "harm than good":rolleyes:. I don't want to go into explaining that, but one can just imagine how much valuable/priceless content was kept there by normal law abiding individuals.
Suddenly Shooting!! down the site is not going to solve the problem. As seen so far this as sparked a Mega Internet War and this is just going to escalate from here on.. I feel that the Gov want (SOPA) this because of 2 main reasons. (1) is to protect their self more than any thing else. The word they like to use is "classified info" too much of their wrong doings are being leaked on the net and to stop all of this they need the net to be censored. (2) Also personally i feel that the US Gov acted on ego and with the intention to protect their affiliates such as Universal Music etc etc.. These bills don't make no f**ing sense, they have already decided what they are going to do. The Internet is one of the largest if not the largest man made entity, and oh yh, it does not have have a owner. So guess what ? the Gov have taken it up in their own hands and are going to forcefully run this ****!!!. Whether we like it or not.
Protecting affiliates.
Why they chose to do this to megaupload.com after they announced that they were going to start distributing music and will be paying the artists a significant amount of the royalties. I guess Universal Music did not digest that too well:p. Oh yeah i also heard today that youtube was asked to remove a recent commercial, in which they did. This commercial had world renown musicians supporting megaupload.com new music endeavors such as Swizz Beats, kanye West, Jay-z etc.
I guess little by little we are all being trained to be like robots, we are currently being programed and told what to do by the button pushers.
If you disagree and think i don't know one **** about what i am talking about? fine
Please share what you think .................................................. .........
