The latest daft idea to protect copyrights coming out of the Land of the Fee involves freezing all technology in the US until a Senate committee can prove that that any new invention cannot be used for piracy.
Yep, all new technology should be illegal until Congress says otherwise.
According to Tech Dirt, the former Register of Copyrights, Ralph Oman, claims that under copyright law, any new technology should have to apply to Congress for approval and a review to make sure they don't upset the apple cart of copyright, before they're allowed to exist.
Oman, who was the Register of Copyright from 1985 to 1993 and was heavily involved in a variety of copyright issues, has filed an amicus brief in the Aereo case.
Aereo is the online TV service that sets you up with your very own physical TV antenna connected to a device that will then stream to you online what that antenna picks up. This gets around some of the more silly aspects of US copyright law. TV networks sued Aereo, but were unable to get an injunction blocking the service. Oman wants that ruling overturned, and argues that an injunction is proper.
He claims that as part of the 1976 Copyright Act, Congress specifically intended new technologies to first apply to Congress for permission, before releasing new products on the market that might upset existing business models.
He said that anything even remotely disruptive and innovative must first go through the ridiculous process of convincing Congress that it should be allowed, rather than relying on the law.
If that was applied there would be no radio, cable TV, VCRs, DVRs, mp3 players, YouTube or anything really. Well, not in the US. This is because new technology always upsets some obsolete business models.
Of course this would throw the US into an "innovation dark age" where existing copyrights are protected at the expense of new ideas. Now all that is required is for the religious right to get a president into office and the US will become an Amish style paradise where everything is locked in the late 20th century. Or earlier.
As such, within the blind-blinded Ali Baba Den that is The Material, all activities that lack absoluteness/true-evolution/absolute-progress is merely the means to its end if only because nearly all activities within The Material is of Frivolity & Nonsense. For example, should one be human whilst witnessing the inability of a chimp to realise arithmetic, trying to inject arithmetic into that chimp is either of Sympathy/Cunning or of Cruelty and nothing else. The same goes for blind-blinded human "leadership", the duty of the blind being to make those who are reluctant to see for themselves the blinded.
The reality, therefore, is that those who are unable to perceive/experience/be-empowered by that which is higher than The Material, which in the case of Humanity is The Spiritual, will be limited by and through their materialism. Hence, those humans who are devolving from being The Living-Dead to becoming The Stone Dead [TSD] being those who are devolved beyond animal and vegetation, the duty of every human being to realise Consciousness via Conscience, the very reason why humans were gifted thoughts, one's thoughts being double edged swords. TSD is merely the concept of negating The Living in that TSD lacks the will or will-power to be constructive/evolutionary much like its antithesis, Angels, oka Anti-Bodies, being preceptors for evolution and therefore lacking any other will/will-power other than to sustain and maintain the evolutionary drive of another. Afterall, when a liver cell starts having ideas about Fame, Fortune & Immortality and begins to glitz, posture and hip-hop, cancer will be the result - which is EXACTLY how a cancer starts - when normally well regimented cells are being "groomed" by external agencies from "The Collective Subconscious" to be something else.
The higher you go being the harder should you fall, many of TSD were once highly evolved entities which is why they know all the tricks of the trade to devolving another, tricks like choosing someone who lacked humility and telling him that he was destined to spread the message of truth, consciousness, etc, etc. - usually via some experience, hot-heaty experiences being of-saviourship/to-lead whereas cold-freezing experiences being of-worship/to-follow. This is why "normal" human body temperature is near exact during all "normal" states, one important duty of The Liver being to regulate body temperature through the regulation of blood temperature which is also the reason why "Cool" and its airy-fairyness, "Kwel", are being used by zombies to posture/insist that they are "normal", which they are mostly not being mostly of saviourship or worship. This subtleness/cunningness of such self-delusion is why Divinity, being of omniscience, omnipresence and omnipotence, is only realisable/attainable by those who lack the desire for being some superman - those who are always desiring Fame, Fortune & Immortality without being Of Humilty, because they rationalised that they had been there and had done all that too - so what's next, dude? Just like, say, The Chosen Few and their Tag Alongs. Witness, therefore, the hubris of these entities as they lead the blinded within Humanity from their positions of "Leadership". Self means self-mastery otherwise one will only be left with the desire to master another or be mastered. Self-Mastery therefore means one's reality - that which are innately provisioned within all humans as Morality, Morality being the taboos innately within, taboos like not poking a needle into the eye - a taboo even for the "Been there, Done that"s. And how "Kwel" is that, eh? Not as kwel as those who would poke a red-hot needle into their eye. And with such bravados and irrationalities, the Modern and Young are stringing the Old Fogies out to dry - all because the "elders" lack Innocence & Wisdom to muster an absolute response other than the response from TSD in the form or wars, conflicts and control freakism. And how Cool is that, man. Yes, you'll all soon will be there and be done-for. Quick, take a 36.83MP shot and shoot it off to The Net B4 it becomes worn news.
When some chimp is trying to ape a human, feed it a banana or just ignore it. In that manner, no war nor Devolutionary/Frivolous & Nonsensical activity could even begin. Regardless of how loud the chimp is airy-fairying about its "Human Rights". A chimp talking about human stuff - not Cool but most definitely Hot or Cold, Hot being "The Right[-sided]"/The Future with Cold being "The Left[-sided]"/The Past whilst not forgetting that by merely/continuously highlighting "evil", one could never banish the evil which lucks within all dual-natured entities, much like those who constantly talk about "Awakening Consciousness" but lacking the means for doing so. Not through any means within The Material if ony because Consciousness is not material and the only non-material aspects realisable/uncontrollable by all humans is either Hot or Cold and never, ever, [Of] Cool[ness]. Maybe for a split moment as Hot transitions to being Cold to be ready for binning in/as The Past.
Eat two bananas and call me in the morning.
