Bill Maher gets OWNED by Guests for Supporting SOPA (Video), page

Please Bill, say it ain't so!

First of all, the argument he poses is that people are stealing from HIM! Poor rich man. And then goes on to say that he hasn't even read the bill. How can you weigh in on something without knowing the facts Bill?

Very interesting point brought up is that 80% of the pirating is done from China. How they came across that number I don't know but next is the point that America wants to "Manage" the internet. I don't even need facts to know this point but how is this even acceptable to some? Oh I forgot, it's only the wealthy that are really behind this.

Then we get into user generated content from the daily caller. "If someone posts their own thoughts and it may infringe on someone else, it can be taken down, the site can be pulled BEFORE there is a chance to argue the point". So much for due process and innocent before being proven guilty.

Scary stuff folks.

Mr. Maher...You have just become a sellout in order to support your own interests and in my book...unacceptable.

Great work distorting his viewpoint.

He never said he supported SOPA.

He said his movie has been pirated a lot and that he considers it stealing from him. So what? What is "anti-liberty" about that?

First of all. the title of the video is exact.

Secondly if you watched it, you will see that he makes it a point of stating that he is against user borrowed content and that he loses money because of it.

That is the premise of SOPA.

Peace

Thomas Jefferson said it best about copyright laws in his time

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it. Its peculiar character, too, is that no one possesses the less, because every other possesses the whole of it. He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me."


Taper being a candle for those wondering.

Which can draw exact similarities to file sharing.

when I light my Taper(candle) off yours I am not stealing your flame.

same as when I download a file I am not stealing the file.


anyhow demonoid and kat.ph is where you can go to oppose SOPA and others and support free sharing of information.

Switzerland just made personal piracy 100% legal: torrentfreak.com...

"all downloads of copyright content for personal use is 100% legal" now in Switzerland. Finally a country that is more free and has higher average education than the United States.

I used to like him... but he's really just a contradiction. So much for supporting Ron Paul who is against SOPA...or supporting so he wanted you to believe...

I find this whole thing funny.

I do not condone illegal downloading.


However I find that I don't feel too sorry for millionaires.


I do feel sorry for people losing jobs due to outsourcing and illegal immigration. They are not just losing some profit, they are losing their entire living.


But big corporations don't care about the people who helped them grow and become billion dollar companies.

Big corporations care only for profits.


Most of us get up every day and have to earn a living.

How many great ideas and systems were created by employees of large companies and then later these individuals are laid off for the sake of profit? Where is the compensation for "intellectual property" there?


Imagine typing a document or building some stairs or maintaining an elavator or cleaning an office and then getting paid for the rest of your life every time someone else uses it.

Wouldn't that be nice.

Instead we have to get up everyday and go to work.

Our fathers and mothers, you and I, support the machine. We helped it grow, by helping to build it and by buying its product.


If a friend of mine came over and sang me a song and then demanded I pay him for it, I'd laugh at him. I sure wouldn't put up with his drug and alcohol abuse. I certainly wouldn't put up with him beating Rihanna. I would tell him to take his song and shove it.



I just can't figure out why I continue to download songs and then pay for these peoples lifestyles..........
