First of all let me say that I have a low post count, I am recent to this forum, english is not my first language and I am a nobody... And I do not expect to be treated as anything else other than a nobody. If there is a possiblity of doing business and making money then I will take off my nobody hat and put on my sombody hat but not before that moment presents itself. I ask for nothing and I seek nothing

This lie about a "police state" gets brought up every single time anyone tries to tackle piracy. Google funds millions porpogating this myth because searches for pirated content is almost 40% of their traffic
(source forbes)
Youtube (google) propogates the myth because let us face it. No one is interested at all in some idiot's vacation videos. It is the films, television shows and music videos that keep people visiting youtube.
((( And if anyone believes the myth of viral videos understand that it is just "google directed" traffic. It works like a lottery, if someone youtube employee likes your video, he sends it a lot of traffic)))
Facebook propogates it because stolen content is also part of their business model. Let us face it, unless it is a photo of someone young girl posting flirty pictures... Facebook becomes really flat. Therefore they need photos, etc made by professionals and posted by so called « fans » or « lovers » of the image in order to keep people coming back. Again no one is interested in someone's vacation to disney world.
Pinterest... linkedin... etc etc. Their entire business model is other people's hard work and content. Therefore the moment anyone threatens that model they rile up the « no-life-always-on-line-junkies » and tell them their freedom is threaten.
And it is complete bullshit !!!
Freedom existed before the Internet
AND IN FACT it seems to me there was a hell of a lot more freedom going around before all this crazyness started.
I will tell you what is killing freedom.
1) It is the « fact-fuck-no-life » that sits on Facebook 24 hours a day searching for a pice of ass or a free cyber jerk off session that gets bored and starts downloading films to pass his time between pokes. If he just got off his fat ass and went to a park and said « hello » to a girl, he would loose weight and probably end up doing something other than his hand. This « fat-fuck-no-life » does nothing online worth protecting and he will not get off his dumb ass unless it is to protect his source of free downloads. And the « no-life-internet-junkie » is mega dumb! For exemple look at the Occupy mouvement, a bunch of Internet-junkies that took over parks and started blogging and trying to Facebook like social change and end gouvernement corruption.
2) Big United States corporation are kiling freedom.
(Sorry for any anti-americain sentement that may be expressed.. I am not doing it on purpose).
* Look at Apple, they use slave labour in China to build the « no-life's dream » of a a Star Trek future. Giving up what little money they have and killing jobs and the local economy
*Look at Google and how they are seeking to control the flow of all information and dialog in the world.
(just look at the people crying over their website's ranks if you think I am wrong on this)
* Look at the corporation of the Department of Defense (D.O.D) that invented GPS. You can not go anywhere in the world now without them knowing where you are if you have one of these devices.
I could make a list that spans pages but each time you see the same formula over and over again. It is a version of George Orwell's 1984 being played out.
Ignorance is strength.. Strength that flows from the dummies for the gouvernements and the corporations. So since you are concerned about freedom.. I will tell you how to stop the police state from happening.
Just switch off the consumer electronics.
Learn to read a map... Learn to talk to someone face to face... learn how to get laid without using your own hand and a tube site.
Because freedom is stepping out into the sunshine and ignoring the monsters trying to distract you from getting a tan.

In the mean time the « no-life-internet-junkies » threaten my honest business model based on hard work, skill and respect. You should learn that freedom is not something that can be downloaded. However hardwork, skill and respect for yourself and others are the allies of freedom and in abudance in a free society. Therefore I support all and any efforts to stop them. Including Adult King's file locker efforts.
