MPAA threat sparks White House petition for bribery probe Chris Dodd, ex–US senator and current CEO of the Motion Picture Ass. of America, may face a White House investigation after he made an extraordinary outburst that appeared to threaten politicians who had the audacity to take the entertainment industry’s money and then abandon SOPA/PIPA online-piracy legislation. “Those who …
Irish Donkey thinking is wrong. Its not only control of the internet, but the whole of the internet and importantly, powers to close down site worldwide at the merest hint of adverse postings!
Guilty till proven innocent.
And all this to maintain their (Mafiaas) cocaine lifestyle in the name of providing for the artists.
Wankers, bribers and corrupt to the core.
Where's my bulletproof coat?
how far you can shove the brown envelope up their a***s.
Politics is about lobbyists and self interests groups coming up with enough money to Buy The Vote.
It becomes self perpetuating, the more that is offered, the more that is expected, the more they want. On and on it goes.
Every now and again they investigate the bribery and corruption, find a scapegoat or find no evidence. Keeps the little people happy.
The catch, they are investigating themselves!
Will state that his mind was unbalanced when he made the statement, due to cocaine/drink/sex addiction and refer himself to a rehab clinic.
There will be a loud sigh of relief, a statement will be issued that no further investigation is necessary, they hope he will be better soon.
Three month later he will be back and collect $ his reward.
<insert your own phrase or saying here>?
Sadly, with the state of the US Legal System, nothing will ever come of it. His buddies (It's election years so they will need all the campaign $$$ they can get) will pass a law ensuting that the status quo remains the same.
Mike Mozart is a crazy person.
Aparrently the media companies want you to download films and put them up there themselves because cnet host file sharing programs (no really, that was his logic) if you believe him. He link the extradition of the british kid for linking to films to sopa (despite it having sod all to do with that) as well.
People like that are best ignored and left to rant in peace, the things he talks about might be issues, but not for the reasons he thinks and all he does is complicate matters.
He is not nearly as crazy as the people who believe they can continue to force other people to pay lots of $$$$ for content they can get for nothing on the internet.
Crazy maybe.... but he is my kind of crazy... needs to work on that voice though.... He's like Michael Moore on steroids.
He exposes big media hypocrisy and all people can do is cower and cry and call him a crazy person, meanwhile they know full well what's going on as their own government rapes them on the daily. When was the last time you got a break? Did you know that the only retirement you will be able to afford is a 9 millimeter bullet? How many fucking homeless people did you have to walk past on the way to work today? And still the government tell you there's no homeless people, you're just imagining it, don't listen to crazy people like Mike who tell you what's going on.
Step 1 get 20% of the population on psychiatric drugs, step 2 they piss the drugs out into the water and guess what you drink them whether you want to or not. And now you wonder why your mind's knocked for six. Why you can't put facts together or believe the truth anymore, only what the BBC and Fox news tells you. It's like which variety of lies do you want with your shit burger?
When was the last time your vote counted for shit? Oh that's right never. But don't worry, you'll get to be a slave.
The copyright mafiaa’s true modus operandi is revealed, still as that one time resident of the White House (was he???) Abe Lincoln once said “You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time”.
Oh, and this one as well, “'Tis better to be silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt”.
My prediction as to what difference this petition will make… Nil, the copyright mafia will just bribe more senators to get their way, then one day they will find that they too have gone the way of the dinosaurs.
Wait until our politicians can be digitally reproduced ad-infinitum and downloaded for free... then we'll be talking SERIOUS doo-doo...
But seriously folks, what is the solution to this Dodd doo-doo (pun intended)...?
Maybe we should all become politicians or at least petition signers.
If enough people could see this dirt bag FOX-ranting on You-Tube, then maybe he'd have to get a new job making license plates. He's already actively helped sabotage the economy before with stupid legislation:
"The Dodd-Frank law has 849 pages, compared with 66 pages in the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, a 2002 law that overhauled accounting rules following the Enron scandal. The landmark Glass-Steagall Act, which created the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and barriers between commercial and investment banking during the Depression, was a slim 34 pages"

Doesn't anyone see a pattern developing here?
The "Actually take these petitions seriously instead of just using them as an excuse to pretend you are listening" Petition (no joke; it actually exists):
-- -- White House "We the People" Web Site
-- -- -- -- https://wwws.whitehouse.gov/petitions#!/petition/actually-take-these-petitions-seriously-instead-just-using-them-excuse-pretend-you-are-listening/grQ9mNkN
The "Take these petitions seriously" petition.
The "Stop ignoring the 'Take these petitions seriously' petition" petition.
The "Damn it we are running out of quotation nesting levels so behave" petition....
The "You really aren't listening are you" petition.
Unfortunately, elected officials know that if it is easy to sign a petition, then the petition is not worth heeding. There are only two things the Washington crowd will listen to now-a-days, one being "large sums of money".
The second I hope we, unlike the Egyptians, never need to do.
Actually Chris, investigating these lobbyists and their pet politicians who have no shame and no regard for the people who voted for them would go a hell of a long way toward fixing the problems this country faces.
Or you can keep blaming the other political party for all the problems, then vote for the same corrupt morons you always do, who only give lip service to representing their constituents while stuffing their tailored suit pockets with big wads of lobbyist money and then wonder why nothing ever fucking changes.
You just can't get the staff.
Perhaps members of the Legislature should just publish a "shopping list."
Asking questions $
Adding/removing clauses from bill $$
Sponsoring new bill $$$
Senators surcharge CALL.
You might also consider a list of "alternative" remuneration in kind.
Lawyers are the reason we can't have anything nice in seemingly "democratic" countries. Once they've landed in a seat of political power, they don't seem to be forced to follow the same laws that the rest of us do, in terms of little things like racketeering, collusion, bribery.
Dodd has a number of strikes against him:
1) He's a former politician
2) he's a lawyer
3) He's the big cheese of the MPAA
Add em all up and it spells DOUCHE BAG!
I seriously wonder how much he took in "campaign contributions" he took from the entertainment industry, while he was in office.
Personally, I think it should be open season on any politician who takes money from a lobbist. period.
An enema nozzle is a useful piece of equipment, which can be used when somebody is full of $#!7 to relieve the condition, and can be rendered clean again with a simple application of soap and an autoclave.
Dodd does not improve the condition of being full off $#!7, he worsens it. And nothing will render him clean.
He is more like a necrotising bacillus, rendering all he touches unclean, existing only to feed himself at the expense of his host organism, until the host is finally destroyed.
