‘Amo Internet’ is enough.

suffices suffices. :)

I’m nothing if not concise. Oops – said too much.

“Amo Internet” is enough.

I wonder if the blocking is by domain name or IP…

Let’s just say that, with a little algorithmic assistance, one could create rather a few infringing IPv6 addressed sites at comparatively low cost…

Opposition to the creation of super-special extrajudicial punishment-on-complaint mechanisms has comparatively little to do with your position on copyright law and rather more to do with your position on rule of law.

The contemporary fad for treating the copyrights of major entertainment conglomerates as being just too sacred and special for nonsense like ‘due process’ is incidentally related to copyright, in that it is the self-interest of certain large copyright holders, rather than some other special interest group, that has shaped it and its accompanying legislation; but opposition to it can stem from having a non-maximalist position on copyrights and/or a position on the importance of rule of law.

Given his use of CC licenses, I’d imagine that Navarro is not of the maximalist school; but we have no reason to suspect that he opposes all of the existing protections enjoyed by copyright holders…

Your statement is about as sensible, and nearly as inflammatory in its smarmy last line, as “I take it that opponents of the death penalty wouldn’t mind being killed by axe murderers then, amirite?”

Once again the Copyright Cartel has used their money and influence to get laws that allow them to abdicate their responsibility to protect their copyrights.  They mere have to suggest it is infringing and expect it to be blocked, this has been done time and time again in different parts of the world and it ends up being used simply for censorship.

These citizens are standing up for their rights to not have the USA decide law in their country, you are maybe not familiar with the US Government seizing a perfectly legal, under the laws of Spain, and then pretending it was perfectly ok for the US to apply their law to another country.

The courts found against the seizure and STILL refused to return the domain to the owners.

The copyright cartel keeps pushing demanding more draconian laws when it has been made very clear it is their own failure to adapt their business models that is the main driving force for “piracy”.  They are determined to treat the world as disconnected and needed “windows” so they can try to get more money.  They are annoying consumers who are looking for ways to get the content they would pay for… if only it was available.  They treat consumers like scum to be ignored, pursuing “pirates” and the dreams of lost money because someone might have downloaded a file.  They do not consider some people might listen/watch and decide it was crap and delete it.  They do not consider people might want to hear more than a 30 second snippet to decide a song is worth their money.

So I am glad they are flooding this office with reports, a law was imposed not for the benefit of Spain but because the US demanded it on behalf of their corporate sponsors.  I am guessing that Navarro now has many more fans in Spain because of the support for trying to stop this stupid law.

Just don`t say “el internet”, in Spain most people just says “internet”, or if you are a moron or an humorist “los interneses”.

Or is it so that only creators who chose to license their works using a license that “we” like deserve to have the license respected?
