It’s an ongoing battle between p2pers and content producers.

Just recently the Motion Picture Association of America has argued that it should not need to prove infringement in order to win a judgement against somebody they suspect is violating their copyright. If these people get their way the “Innocent until proven guilty” concept will no longer exist and anyone they accuse is automatically guilty.

Things are going to far…

It’s bad enough that piracy is treated a a serious crime, as I mentioned In an earlier article but it is getting to the point where we are losing even our most basic rights. Such as the ability to use the Internet for free and open communication with the likes of Virgin Media and Comcast seeking to cut off and regulate what users can and can’t do with the connections they (the customer) paid for and it’s all in the name of “Copyright”.

The Internet and consumer’s are under attack because of Copyright laws. The MPAA also want the ability for content producers to take control of YOUR equipment to stop you from using it to record programs never mind the fact that you brought it and own it, they want to control it

BitTorrent, the protocol that has revolutionised content distribution by making it possible for even the little guys to distribute content to a vast audience is also under attack by the big media providers who wish to outlaw the protocol and stampout fair competition.

Then theres the Organised Crime connection with copyright enforcement.

But what if these copyright laws never existed? Would our internet still be under threat if it wasn’t in corporate intrest to Monitor, Censor or otherwise disrupt the distribution of information?

I feel that we would all benefit without copyright laws in our society, why should I pay a blank media tax to a corporation who gives me nothing in return?

Is it any surprise that primitive people are more likely to believe in primitive delusions?

Professor Lynn said religious belief had declined in the 20th century

Professor Richard Lynn, emeritus professor of psychology at Ulster University, said many more members of the “intellectual elite” considered themselves atheists than the national average.

A decline in religious observance over the last century was directly linked to a rise in average intelligence, he claimed.

People with higher IQs are less likely to believe in God, according to a new study.

I just received a call from 0282050499 by a company called Wiz Quiz,
it was an automated voice message asking me to partake in a quiz.

THIS IS A SCAM….

I have seen several of these over the years and they will add charges onto you phone bill if you follow their instructions just hang up if you receive a call from them on 0282050499.

If your wondering how they got your number, they didn’t they are auto dialling people which is Illegal in Australia but unfortunately it’s very hard to prove these autodial practices.

This scam company appears to be operated by a person named.

I don’t have anything else at the moment because this scam has only just been brought to my attention but if anyone has additional information I would appreciate it.
