ABOUT MediaFire THE CHINA-LIKE CENSORSHIP REGIME

ABOUT MediaFire

I HAD A FREE ACCOUNT ON THE SO CALLED MEDIAFIRE, THE FREE FILE HOSTING AND SHARING SERVER.TODAY I WANTED TO BROWSE MY FILES, AND TO MY GREAT SURPRISE THERE WERE NO FILES.ALL THE FLIES WERE DELETED WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WARNING.IT’S A DISGRACEFUL ACT FROM THE GROUP OF WEBSITE ENTHUSIASTS WHO PREACH FOR THE FREE CIRCULATION OF KNOWLEDGE.IT’S A REALLY DISGUSTING ACT.

SO, ALL THE MEDIAFIRE LINKS POSTED ON “SINCERELYOURS1.BLOGSPOT.COM” DON’T WORK ANY MORE.

I MAY VENTURE TO TELL THOSE PEOPLE THAT I CAN PROVIDE DOZENS IF NOT HUNDREDS OF LINKS TO THE SAME FILES THEY DELETED FROM THEIR SERVER. IT'S AN IGNOBABLE ACT OF PIRACY.THEY MAKE ME VOMIT. UUGGHHHHHHHH.




D-DAY

BAD NEWS FIRST: BIG BUSINESS IS SWARMING CAPITOL HILL THIS WEEK AS THEY STRUGGLE TO GET THE INTERNET BLACKLIST BILL PASSED. HERE'S TECHDIRT'S TAKE:
THE WORLD'S LARGEST LOBBYING ORGANIZATION, THE US CHAMBER OF COMMERCE...ALONG WITH THE BIGGEST LOBBYISTS REPRESENTING THE RECORDING AND MOVIE INDUSTRY, HAVE RAMPED UP THEIR EFFORTS TO GET PROTECT IP APPROVED AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.:
THIS IS THE FIRST STAGE OF THE ENDGAME TO GET THE LAW PASSED. TO BE HONEST, I'M SURPRISED THEY'VE EVEN HAD TO GO THIS FAR, BECAUSE FROM THE BEGINNING IT LOOKED LIKE THEY HAD THE EASY SUPPORT. THE FACT THAT THEY FELT THE NEED TO BREAK OUT THIS LITTLE STUNT SHOWS THAT THE OPPOSITION TO PROTECT IP HAS ACTUALLY DRUMMED UP ENOUGH NOISE THAT SOME POLITICIANS ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE VERY REAL UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES OF THE LAW.




FOR US, ONE PRINCIPLE IS VERY BASIC: THE SAME RIGHTS THAT PEOPLE HAVE OFFLINE - FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION, INCLUDING THE FREEDOM TO SEEK INFORMATION, FREEDOM OF ASSEMBLY AND ASSOCIATION, AMONGST OTHERS - MUST ALSO BE PROTECTED ONLINE.


HERE THEY GO AGAIN: THE BIG BUSINESS LOBBYISTS WHO ARE BEHIND THE INTERNET BLACKLIST BILL ARE ALREADY MAKING THE SEQUEL.

BAD NEWS FIRST: YESTERDAY AFTERNOON THE SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE PASSED THE NEW INTERNET BLACKLIST BILL -- THE PROTECT IP ACT.

PROTECT IP WOULD LET THE GOVERNMENT FORCE INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDERS, SEARCH ENGINES, AND OTHER “INFORMATION LOCATION TOOLS” TO BLOCK USERS’ ACCESS TO SITES THAT HAVE BEEN ACCUSED OF COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT — CREATING A CHINA-LIKE CENSORSHIP REGIME HERE IN THE UNITED STATES.
