Although there are few isolated cases where DMCA was abused to stifle discourse, they are far and between.
- 70seconds 11y ago> "Want to read everything"? How is NSA wanting to read everything (if they don't already) any different from Chinese authorities reading everything? Different my foot. Looking at the quality of discussion here it seems we're living in that dumbfuck's paradise. For they say: when you are dead, you do not know you are dead. It's only painful and difficult for others. The same applies when you are stupid. There is little difference in intent, monetary pursuit, lust of power, size of investment and scale of techniques used by either centre of powers. For exactly the same purpose.
- rsanders 11y agoThe Chinese authorities are preventing their citizens from reading things they find counter to their aims. You don't have to create this false equivalence to find both actions undesirable.
