mister-sister:
so some incoherent thoughts that have been brewing all weekend:
I guess I am feeling really weird about this Chris Brown media storm? I don’t think it is unwarranted (abusers being held accountable for their actions is important), that isn’t what’s bothering me. What’s bothering me is I’ve seen a…
My only problem with it is that Fassbender is still a good actor. Chris...

We Don't Need SOPA Because DMCA Is Already Broken... →
wilwheaton:
Geekosystem has a fantastic post about the DMCA, how broken it is, how it’s frequently abused (with no consequences for the offenders), and how disastrous it would be if something like SOPA or PIPA were law, because it would certainly be abused in the same way, with much more serious consequences.
It’s almost funny, in a I-want-to-cry sort of way. SOPA and PIPA seem to be...
