edit: just watched and it is edited to take out all of the language so if hearing the word ‘fuck’ is so important you may want to wait.

Richard O’Dwyer: Upholding Copyright or Maintaining Civil Liberties

by

“Hello Cyan.”

Copyright is an important institution, serving a beneficial moral and economic purpose. But that does not mean that copyright can or should be unlimited. It does not mean that we should abandon time-honoured moral and legal principles to allow endless encroachments on our civil liberties in the interests of the moguls of Hollywood.

– Jimmy Wales, Wikipedia founder

When not undressing me with his eyes, Jimmy Wales promotes Wikipedia and its causes.  You might have heard of this website  This week one of the causes front and center is 22-year old Richard O’Dwyer, a Sheffield resident who is being extradited to the U.S. for the crime of posting a link to a website.  Yeah, it’s getting that bad.  Tread lightly, people.  We’re in dangerous territory in which a multi-billion dollar industry is going to throw its weight around with the help of both the U.S. and U.K. to make an example out of a kid who hasn’t finished college.

A video interview with O’Dwyer can be seen here because WordPress is picky about its embedding.

Check out the links previous and if you choose civil liberties over copyright, sign this change.org petition and maybe we can get some traction before you yourself wake up one day with a subpoena from Walt Disney Company to see your online activities.  You know what I’m talking about.

“You disgust me. Now get over here and kiss me.”

God Bless America (and killing too, very very much)

Firstly I’d like to thank the owner for letting me be a part of this.

CYANLIANAS you are awesome.

onto more important matters.

Awesome new movie that’s hardly got any press. Have you ever wanted to see a middle-aged suicidal man become bestest best friends with a 13 year-old girl and then go on a cross country killing spree, like together, as a team? HAVE I GOT A MOVIE FOR YOU!

See the thing is

I WANT TO KILL PEOPLE

I WANT TO SMASH THEIR HEADS AND WATCH THEM BLEED

And, watching people kill other people on the screen makes me happy. Jhonen C. Vasquez wrote a lot of super anyltical smart guy crap that i don’t really neccessarily agree with in introductions to some of his releases of Johnny the Homicidal Maniac. But who cares about all that crap. Let’s talk muvee!

Joel Murray and Tara Lynne Barr

Joel Murray and Tara Lynne Barr

Starring Joel Murray(the crazy dad with the clowns that calls his daughter a whore and kills himself in Shameless US) and Tara Lynne Barr(It’s okay if you want to have sex with her she’s eighteent folks)

From the press package:

Frank (Joel Murray) has had enough of the downward spiral of American

culture. Divorced, recently fired, and possibly terminally ill, Frank truly has nothing left
to live for. But instead of taking his own life, he buys a gun and decides to take out his
frustration on the cruelest, stupidest, most intolerant people he can imagine — starting
with some particularly odious reality television stars.

Frank finds an unusual accomplice in a high-school student named Roxy (Tara Lynne
Barr), who shares his sense of rage and disenfranchisement. Together they embark on a
nationwide assault on our country’s most irritating celebrities . . .

Written and Directed by taboo-busting filmmaker and comedian Bobcat Goldthwait
(Shakes the Clown, Sleeping Dogs Lie, World’s Greatest Dad), GOD BLESS
AMERICA is a truly dark and very funny comedy for anyone who’s had enough of the
dumbing down of our society.

Bobcat Goldthwait,

Bobcat Goldthwait,

Written and directed by Bobcat Goldthwait who i rly only think of as Mr. Floppy from Unhappily Ever After.  Apparently him and Jimmy Kimmel have some sort of semi scret homoerotic relationship going on.  Dude hasn’t worked without him for like at least a decade.  And, when did he get a haircut?  His voice still sounds distinctively like shit though so i guess there is that.

So, it has two of the elements of a great film; there is violence and fire.  But, not nearly enough sex.  Although there is sexual tension.  Two out of three!!

The Newsroom

“Not the best country.  But it can be.”

This show is absolutely brilliant. If you watched West Wing and loved it, and was a little confused about what happened to Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip (it tanked five episodes in), you’re going to get chills watching this show.  I think HBO’s got a news show I wouldn’t mind replacing all cable news shows with.  Aaron Sorkin is turning his attention to what’s wrong with infotainment and how dangerously misdirected its fans and viewers are and he’s taking no prisoners.

The last 45 seconds of the show was…so emotional.  I felt like singing –

But it was 2 am in a cramped loft with neighbors nearby and I came to my senses.

A must watch to anyone that’s actually been in a newsroom and knows what shennanigans take place to make the news entertaining, light and easily digestible; in other words fluff.  A must-watch for those reasoned individuals that are sick and tired of being stupid, happy and catered to.  It’s an invitation to get informed and concerned.  It’s just a show, I know.  But it makes me want to believe that on some level, people are bored with nonsense sports commentary, panty-shots and Kardashians masquerading as news.

I know what it looks like for a human to catch, throw, kick or run with a ball.  I don’t care who does it best.  [Next.]

I know where I can get panty-shots.  Don’t try to scandalize me in the checkout aisle, I can do it myself anytime. [Next.]

Go to hell, Kardashians. [Full stop.]

My god, if I hear another group of grown men talking about how well adults can or cannot play a children’s recreational game, I’ll go mental.

What am I, the crazy one?

What the fuck are you still doing here?  Go watch this show.

…or I’ll send my newsroom after your ass.  The one sitting on the floor bites.

Mass Effect 3 Extended

We’re Back.

The Mass Effect 3: Extended Cut is a downloadable content pack that will expand upon the events at the end of Mass Effect 3. Through additional cinematic sequences and epilogue scenes, the Extended Cut will include deeper insight to Commander Shepard’s journey based on player choices during the war against the Reapers. The Extended Cut will be available to download at no additional charge for Mass Effect 3 game owners starting on June 26 for PC and Xbox 360 customers worldwide. Playstation 3 customers in North America will be able to download the Extended Cut DLC on June 26 and the rest of the world on July 4.

This action by an established game studio is unprecedented.  Yes, other cross-platform games have been modified after the fact thanks to the always on connections consoles can have to the internet, but to rewrite and modify end-game material for Mass Effect 3 is a huge admission for a company that raised the bar so high with ME 1 and 2.  What prompted the re-write?

Badvertising

According to the FTC’s rules of the road for advertising and marketing on the Web, “advertising must tell the truth and not mislead consumers.”  A strong case was made to the BBB and after months of complaints the outraged fans have end-game DLC to show for it.  Below is a compilation of advertising misleads assembled by one disgruntled youtuber.

Bioware’s Reaction

From ME Facebook Page: March 19 at 12:12am

We are aware that there are concerns about a recent post from this account regarding the ending of the game. In this post it was stated that at this time we do not have plans to change the ending.

We would like to clarify that we are actively and seriously taking all player feedback into consideration and have ruled nothing out. At this time we are still collecting and considering your feedback and have not made a decision regarding requests to change the ending.

Your feedback and opinions are of the utmost importance to us. We apologize for any confusion this has caused. Our top priority regarding this discussion is to keep communication with you, our loyal fans, open and productive.

Additionally in a subsequent Facebook fan page posting:

Bioware will keep listening, because your insights and constructive feedback will help determine what that content should be. This is not the last you’ll hear of Commander Shepard.

– Mass Effect 3 director Casey Hudson

Looks like Mr. Hudson made good on his promise but the official ME FAQ wants to make some distinctions beforehand:

The Extended Cut is an expansion of the original endings to Mass Effect 3. It does not fundamentally change the endings, but rather it expands on the meaning of the original endings, and reveals greater detail on the impact of player decisions.

“Meanwhile, thanks to everyone who contacted their MEPs, either directly or via email. It does make a difference – indeed, several politicians have admitted that it was the unprecedented scale and force of the protests that convinced them to take another look at ACTA, which otherwise would have passed without difficulty.”

-Glyn Moody, ComputerworldUK Writer

“ACTA contains some troublesome provisions for policy areas such as internet freedom and access to medicines. By regulating several policy areas in one document, ACTA enforces laws in an undesirable and dangerous way.”

-MEP & INTA Committee Member, Marietje Schaake

“The way is now paved for a quick and total rejection of ACTA by the European Parliament! With a political symbol of such a global scale, the way will be open for copyright to be reformed in a positive way, in order to encourage our cultural practices instead of blindly repressing them,”

-Jeremie Zimmermann, La Quadrature du Net

Incoming: Megabox

Concept art for Megabox sent through @KimDotcom’s twitter feed on 06/21/2012.

Way back in December of 2011, Megaupload founder, admitted embezzeler and insider trading enthusiast, Kim Schmitz, aka Kim Dotcom [legally changed in 2005], announced a streaming music service called Megabox.  It was going to be “a cloud-based music locker, download store, and do-it-yourself artist service.”  The idea was to put artists first, consumers second and distribution third on scales of importance.

Not a terrible idea in my opinion.

Well, if you don’t know already: Megabox stalled when New Zealand authorities [in cooperation with the U.S.] raided his home and placed him in custody under the charges of criminal copyright infringement in relation to his Megaupload Web site.  Back in February, he was released on bond but restricted to the 80km around his palatial estate [“Whaah, I can’t go 50 miles away from my PALATIAL estate!”]  His wikipedia page says that he was also barred from using the internet, but obviously that’s been rescinded.  He’s launched a new twitter account.

Although I do have misgivings about the dude after reading the details of  his misadventures in business [and that’s coming from a guy with a subversive website.]  I’m all about shaking up status quo, but this character’s a major…entrepreneur and I’m just wondering if file-sharing is his latest…hobby topic.   Yes.  That’s what we’ll call it.  Regardless, he’s got a great idea and I’ve always been an idea guy and will be there opening service day.

INTA rejects ACTA and other nonesense!

My goodness!  I think I’d be a full-time activist if TV didn’t calm my ass down.  This is what happens during summer sign-offs: something shiny and/or political catches my eye and I fixate on it until everyone I know is sure I’ve lost it.

Well it looks like ACTA’s season finale is finally taking place on July 5th.  In this morning’s penultimate episode, INTA slaps ACTA so hard she fell into the pool!  Here’s footage from the EU!

Ok, that didn’t really happen.  Or did it?  I can’t tell anymore, I’m so bored.
