“For some reason it was alright to produce documents about other countries, but as soon as the United States was embarrassed Julian’s life became threatened.”
— Christine Assange, mother of Julian Assange, in an interview with RT.
“In the midst of hate, I found there was, within me, an invincible love. In the midst of tears, I found there was, within me, an invincible smile. In the midst of chaos, I found there was, within me, an invincible calm. […] In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer. And that makes me happy.”
— Albert Camus.

“There is no entity in the world that controls our lives more than the Federal Reserve System.”
— Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (1995), the hypocrite extraordinaire who is now blocking the “Audit the Fed” bill from a vote in the Senate.
“I feel obliged to withhold my approval of the plan to indulge in benevolent and charitable sentiment through the appropriation of public funds. … I find no warrant for such an appropriation in the Constitution.”
— Grover Cleveland (Democrat), 22nd and 24th US President. During his term as President, the state of Texas was getting its ass kicked by mother-nature in the form of a drought. Congress, in both the House and the Senate, approved a relief effort package of $10,000 dollars, but when it got to the President’s desk, he did some research, and re-read the Constitution, and could not find anywhere, in the all the writings that our forefathers created, anything that allowed him to give other people’s money, so he vetoed it. He felt really bad for the people of Texas, and decided to give them money out of his own pocket instead; he gave $2000 dollars, still $8000 dollars short of the money that the Government was going to send, but asked the people of America for help. The people of Texas ended up with $100,000 dollars in aid. (via thinksquad)

“The struggle for freedom is ultimately not resistance to autocrats or oligarchs but resistance to the despotism of public opinion.”

Ain’t no perils in piracy.
Exactly one year ago Friday, I made the following post:
When intellectual property legislation is gone, I want to compete with iTunes. I won’t offer the audio and video at a lower price at first. Instead, I’ll promise that 90%+ of the money collected from sales goes directly to the artists themselves as opposed to record companies, movie studios, etc.
I’ll prove that people, if they can, have a desire to help the creators.
Now it looks like uTorrent beat me to the punch. According to Torrent Freak,
BitTorrent Inc., the parent company of the popular BitTorrent client uTorrent, starts a new series of experiments today in which it will help artists monetize the BitTorrent ecosystem. The company has partnered with the legendary DJ Shadow who agreed to give away exclusive content to BitTorrent users. The free content bundle includes software from advertisers, allowing the artist and BitTorrent to generate revenue from users who opt to install it.
We’ll see how the plan works. Either way, the tides are turning.
