White House needs to rethink its policies on illegal streaming

They might not know this but if they continue with that policies we can kiss 2012 bye bye.

Here is what I can foresee;

No more viral videos,

No more posting of links from another site,

2012 election will become obsolete because all the tools that made it
possible for Obama to become President will be illegal.

So my next question is, are THEY shooting themselves in the foot?

What happened?? :banghead:

if the President and his men do not understand the ramification of this policy then they need
to talk to an expert that can explain to them what's at stake.

This is madness, complete madness...

just as he did for the banksters. The people who actually voted for him can go eff themselves.

my hunch on this is, he is being misled considering all the other issues in front of
him like tsunami, collective bargaining, middle east revolt, high gas prices etc,
somebody at the White House is using all this distraction to their advantage, it is
up to us to bring this to light so he can see what is being done.

He may have no idea what is being planned.

I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

This is about making legal designations of what constitutes illegal distribution of content. The current laws have yet to really address digital content and its assorted distribution platforms. This isn't about Joe Normal using a Poison song as background music for his dog video. This is about sites like Justin.tv, Channelsurfing.net, CastTv as well as online upload/storage sites like Wootly, VidBux and megavideo - which enable individuals to pirate other people's content, upload it to a middleman server and stream it from there.

did you read this;

Hopefully they will over look this post of excerpt from their site.

Those measures are extreme. In its current incarnation, I would prefer the DHS be eliminated completely. The enforcement of copyright infringement laws should fall under the auspices of DOJ. I have been against the oppressive counter tactics of groups like the MPAA and RIAA since they first proposed measures such as embedding viruses and suing individuals for ridiculous sums.

Just the same, I am currently watching a bootleg stream of MSNBC. Some dude with a cable subscription streams it live through Justin.tv servers and makes money from his channel by serving ads and linking to affiliate programs. At present, there are no laws that forbid this. I know it's wrong. The dude with the channel knows it's wrong. Justin.tv knows it's wrong. Every once in a while MSNBC lawyers send Justin.tv a DMC takedown notice and they close the guy's channel. But within 15 minutes, the guy opens a new channel and the stream is back online.

What should be done?

that everything has to be paid for and accounted for, when would it end.

I stand by the little guy.

Ain't we suppose to prevent them from getting any bigger, we have already
established that M$M does not seek our interest, why should we enable them
then? This policy will do just that, taking away net neutrality by
preventing the sharing of videos, we all know once they sink their teeth in it --
it is over, they will never let go.

I agree that the corporate media is a bloated greedmonger and I applaud the urban guerrillas that subvert the overlords of capitalism.

It's funny but as much as I despise Apple for their horrid proprietary policies, I love the fact that by charging .99 per song, they have killed the price gouging business model of the RIAA.

The fact is, our modern society is in a state of flux when it comes to income generation. The ways we make money will be radically different 20 years from now than they are at present.

I place hope in micro-manufacturing platforms where individuals create and sell small stocks to a worldwide market using middleman services similar to Etsy and third-party payment processors like the dreaded PayPal. I foresee monolithic entities, such as mainstream networks, crumbling under the weight of their inability to adapt to the future.

and would love to see micro-manufacturing platforms as this will prevent
monopolies which as we all know leads to greed.

Creativity should not be stymied.
