The copyright industry is trying<\/a> \u2013 again<\/a> \u2013 to forcefully conscript Internet Service Providers into doing their bidding. This time, the RIAA<\/a> and other organizations are demanding \u201cfiltering\u201d, which is a pretty word for censorship, of anything they don\u2019t want people to send to each other privately.<\/p>\n

Ask yourself this one question: is it any shade of reasonable that a private industry gets a governmental mandate to silence our phonecalls when we talk about things that the private industry in question don\u2019t want us to talk about? Because that\u2019s exactly what the copyright industry is demanding here, exactly<\/em> what they\u2019re demanding, as applied to the Internet.<\/p>\n

This demand is so audacious, so revolting, so utterly despicable I don\u2019t really know where to start. These are rent-seeking parasites*<\/a> who are so completely shameless they claim they have a moral high horse in demanding censorship of general private communications when it goes against their profit interests.<\/p>\n

This is completely in line with my previous column about how the copyright industry is so bothered by civil liberties and due process, they are trying to circumvent and eliminate both<\/a>. In particular, note how this fits with the line of action of having ISPs be governmentally forced to be non-accountable thugs of the copyright industry.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to notice three things here:<\/p>\n

First,<\/strong> it is not reasonable to prevent transmission of a particular movie or music, even<\/em> if it breaks the law. We have a judicial system where somebody is punished after<\/em> the fact, and after something called due process<\/em>. This demand is Minority Report<\/em> pre-crime bullshit.<\/p>\n

Second,<\/strong> this completely eliminates fair use as a concept. There are millions of cases where publishing something on YouTube is illegal in one context (say, just sharing it), and completely legal in another context (say, providing political commentary on the exact same piece). Blanket censorship, as the copyright industry demands here, would be completely blind to all the exceptions to copyright distribution monopolies \u2013 exceptions without which the copyright monopoly would be in direct conflict<\/a> with the First Amendment in the US and freedom of speech in general elsewhere. These exceptions, which are rights<\/em> and not defenses, are what allows the copyright monopoly to even exist from a constitutional standpoint. Blanket, automated censorship would just strike out this entire field, which is exactly what the copyright industry wants (until somebody would challenge its following constitutionality, but still).<\/p>\n

Third,<\/strong> copyright law is immensely complex, and cases are frequently being decided in Supreme Courts. Despite this, the copyright industry likes to pretend that it\u2019s dead simple, and basically they\u2019re arguing it\u2019s dead simple because the copyright industry is always in the right. (Hint: they\u2019re not.) So instead of due process in a proper judicial system, you would have an automated censorship process at worst, and being casually decided by a minimum-wage clerk at best.<\/p>\n

These are the same things the copyright industry is pushing for in Europe under the notion of changing \u201cnotice-and-takedown\u201d to \u201cnotice-and-staydown<\/em>\u201c, which is nothing but blanket governmentally-sanctioned censorship completely ignores all the checks and balances that have been struck over the years, decades, centuries.<\/p>\n

Why are we literally letting a cartoon industry regulate our most important infrastructure?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Note that this doesn\u2019t even go into the shamelessness of wanting to dump your problems on somebody else \u2013 the cost for any website operator and ISP to fulfill these insane demands would be enormous, just because the copyright industry thinks it is more important than the Internet. Why are we literally letting a cartoon industry regulate our most important infrastructure?<\/p>\n

On the other hand, the blame isn\u2019t really with the copyright industry: they\u2019ve just learned that they get what they want when they throw a tantrum, after all. The real problem and the blame lie with the politicians who keep giving them whatever they ask for just because they\u2019re loud.<\/p>\n

Privacy and freedom of speech remain your own responsibility.<\/p>\n

*) When somebody is demanding \u2013 and getting away with \u2013 getting extensive private levying privileges on things like an iPhone and a Playstation because they once complained about the cassette tape, making single mothers pay a premium for their kids\u2019 game console so that record executives won\u2019t have to change, I don\u2019t think twice about calling them out as parasites.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
