Now I made plenty fun of the internet when it discovered man's inhumanity to man in the form of the Soapy Pipes act, but boy-oh-boy is the recording/broadcasting industry lame by comparison:
We all share the goal of a safe and legal Internet.Fuck no we don't! We want review copies of the complete second season of Game of Thrones. We want last week's Top Chef and it ain't up on Hulu yet.
Your revolution is over. The bums won.

Nobody cites "the democratic process" as well or as often as the losing side in a policy battle.
WHO IS WE?
Would they have cast their clicks if they knew they were supporting foreign criminals selling counterfeit pharmaceuticals to Americans?
Would they have cast their clicks if they knew they were supporting WHITE SLAVERY CHILD SEX PORNOGRAPHY TRAFFICKING? Huh? Huh? Gotcha, America!
I feel unsafe using the internet. Just the other day I found myself watching a beautiful naked woman fellating a young man. It was horrifying! I only wanted an oatmeal cookie recipe!
I think we can all agree that the internet is way too risky. My heart rate goes up every time I log on.
What was it that Bill Clinton famously said about the internet? Safe, legal, and rare, I think.
comfortable, easy, OK
exciting, challenging, satisfying
more taste, less filling
health, wealth, wisdom
Interactive erotic software. The wave of the future, Dude. One hundred percent electronic!
The internet is so many things, not least of all a huge black hole down which so much energy flows.
Know what I mean?
Tell Mr. Clinton I prefer my Internet medium well.. or over easy, depending on which came first..
I only wanted an oatmeal cookie recipe!
Our friend Deb at smitten kitchen tells us:
I start with the standard recipe on every can of Quaker oats and then start making it better. I find it too sweet, so I dial back the sugar. It never has enough raisins in it, so I up them. I use only brown sugar (instead of a mix of brown and white). And sometimes, though not this one, I add chopped walnuts because they were made to go together.
And then I try not to eat them for breakfast. (It’s got oats and dried fruit, right? Like granola!) I, uh, don’t always succeed.

once the moon Nazis return, none of this will matter.
@ paul alexander,
earlier today i watched a beautiful naked woman fellate a young man, but it isn't on the internet because the man was me and the woman was a woman, not a movie. porn is for sadistic sociopath losers.
by the way, i still jerk off manually.
i jerk off mentally. less mess, lol
by the way, i still jerk off manually.
Is there another way?
"Policy makers had recognized a constitutional (and economic) imperative to protect American property from theft, to shield consumers from counterfeit products and fraud, and to combat foreign criminals who exploit technology to steal American ingenuity and jobs."
Corporations are people, too
"by the way, i still jerk off manually.
Is there another way?"
V. I. Lenin! Vladimir! Ilyich!
Am I really a sadistic sociopath loser? That would explain a lot.
paul, yr not a loser at all. just remember to be excellent to yourself.
Thanks nony, I just stepped off the ledge my friend.
if ya ask me (none do), today's building-tethered porn addict is tomorrows spree shooter!
you're so interesting
The deal is clear: you can monitor my online existence like it's a little black molly in the global bowl, laughably undeserving of a free man's dignity and privacy, and even sell my shopping-preferences-data/ medical records to all and sundry, in perpetuity... all I ask in return is a lo-fi divx of "Barry Lyndon" (in Portuguese) and some obsolete software cracks, gratis. Is that so much to ask?
PS I forgot to mention the bj gifs
i love paul ..
I bet them Somali pirates havent even signed up to iTunes Match
anne: We all love nerds.
Virtually every opponent acknowledged that the problem of counterfeiting and piracy is real and damaging.
To whom?
I'm in animation school, and last year the guy who created Rocko's Modern Life told us that the reason Rocko was beige is that the toy manufacturer that had the license couldn't produce toys in the original color. So the suits sat him down and told him he could either change the color or they'd scrap the show.
If I go to Nickelodeon and create the next Spongebob, I'm not going to own that shit anyway, so what do I care if it gets stolen from people who want to use it to sell shit toys and video games?
And if I make my living doing short films for festivals, than internet piracy at least means my stuff will be seen by more than 30 people.
Of course, if the entire entertainment industry collapses and I end up broke in the gutter, that's another story.
To Christopher @1:19
Animation school? Who's your teacher, Gepetto?
Seriously, though, your post led me to consider a retrospective of Western attitudes toward the artist, entitled ...
From the Sorrows of Young Werther to the Sorrows of the Young Worker
Ye gods, IOZ--Game of Thrones? You lose three respect points.
Game of Thrones is to medieval intrigue as Transformers is to science fiction.
I very much enjoy perusing the IOZ comment board for "foreign criminals selling counterfeit" goods at bargain prices.
"Is there another way?" ~CYBERJACK3000¡ Pssh, were you been?
Who's your teacher, Gepetto?
No, he teaches in the school of Puppetry.
Don't go into puppetry, kids. I've seen the way they treat pupeteers, and it's not pretty.
Nony asks: "Is there another way?"
E-stim.
I sometimes get the feeling that you want to take liberties with the roolz; that you're not wholly onboard with the entire project.
Christopher -
Oh - I see now - you meant "animation" transitively, not intransitively.
I thought you were in school to learn how to become alive.
My bad.
Nutella - dontcha just hate it how EL always comes back a second time in case there's someone that doesn't understand a bad joke he's just made?
Christopher,
Does the Entertainment Industry create the demand for artistic entertainment?
The Dull Sycophant
Back at ya Anne!
Alpha-nonymous Oorah-donis before me is really e-pounding alleged nerds today. Like a boss, etc.
Nutella - dontcha just hate it how EL always comes back?
"dontcha just hate it how EL always comes"
??????
"Game of Thrones is to medieval intrigue as Transformers is to science fiction."
I'd say the sex-from-behind scenes alone make that statement a lie.
Ahh, Lost yes, but this time lost in merry old I-Swear-It's-Not-England.
When are Anglos going to get over wanking on their pseudo-noble history? All these awful stories are just attempts to show how most tyrant families really had a lot of sweet, pure-hearted heroes doing the best they could in difficult situations. Like, uh, Obama.
So drop the Thrones and become an Obama patron if what you really want is political intrigue against a whitewashed backdrop. This one hears he even accepts small donations via internets. Get your Game on!
I like Paul too!
