Sopa PIPA and the great run around.

Sopa PIPA and the great run around.

The trouble with don’t drop the sopa and pipa legislations is at the end of the day our repersentivies do not understand nor care about technology  and how it effects the public at large. They only care about how it affects industry.

There is only one way to manage IP/Copy right abuse by the masses and that is to follow the monetary flow distribution of it leaves in its wake. To do that we need to focus on whole or parts of whole copy righted items.  In other words if a part can be added up to other parts and make a whole item then it needs to be policed, and this dose mean policing links and apps.
To do that fair use needs to be expanded to define clips, which should be based on time and quality factors, then we look at the intent of the distribution is it for profit or not, if not then it cannot be touched by the powers that be.

Though Intent, fair use and due process you level the playing field, due process is an independent government funded organization that records what is copy righted and who owns what. Take downs are channeled through them and they look at whatever it is and see if it passes fair use and expanded fair use then see if the intent is freedom of expression, news or for profit then make a decision based off the facts at hand and move the incident in a pass or fail motion up to the pre trail phase if it has been found to be profiteering. Site’s outside the US are recorded and the information passed onto the CP owners at their request for a small fee.

In order to after global operations you need an organization using the same standards as the US one and these sites have the same level of due process to determine if its news, freedom of expression or profiterring.

Until something like this happens and manages to not get corrupted by the powers that be common daily software piracy will never end.

What is Cigital disobedience?

What is Cigital disobedience?

What is Cigital disobedience? It’s a term I made up(for the lulz) based on the obvious civil disobedience.
Half of it is scoffing current copyright laws the other half is thinking of ways of taking back the rights of the public to copy, archive and share through non-monetary gaining activities as at the end of the day those who made or own the copyright/ip should have first dibs over what can be made from its distribution. Key words “non-monetary gaining activities” this IMO is the key to keeping it a natural part of the modern world rather than what we have now which is artificially expanding file sharing to a point where it competes directly with legal alternatives of Copy right/IP distribution.

Basically you can comment or share a clip and post it online BUT the trick is no money can be made off it. Sites like youtube would have 2 choices other than the norm of deleting videos . One run advertisements that go to a media conglomerate fund that distributes total earnings to each of its members. Of course such a thing would have to be made but that would be rather easy to do. The other alternative is to run the page with no advertisements at all.

I really think this would catch on if (I were smarter lulz) people gave it some thought.

This is not without flaws, but freedom has always had flaws. Can we be reasonably free people and have the current oppressive copy right/IP system? I do not think so, knowledge and inspiration have no price or single description thus we must make it easy to share any and all information within reason.

Of course if we take out the DMCA and any and all copy right law that limits all but non-monetary gain file sharing, you still have loopholes like google can post links, file lockers can share files and people can run a site sell merchandise of that site that focus on file sharing.

This is where due process comes into play. You need a system in place that knows what is copy righted IE things are registered in 3 levels a low level non registered general license ala a GNU/GPL.

A second level for slightly less common things which are registered for say 50$ and adjusted for 50$. Say you put some time and effort into a character, story or paid for a commission and want to register it. You fill out a form add in copies of things that you made or had made for you with the address or web site and signature of the artist, send it in its either approved or denied if approved you are sent a bill with a form number and other information. And have 60 days to pay the bill or have to reapply. Copy right disputes are handled by the committee and may be passed to the courts if both sides cannot agree. It defaults to the courts if simply ignored by the committee. Fines for members for stealing/copying another’s copy right or making up placeholders to lock in a copyright are 500-5000.

The final level is the corporate level where all the major players put in their copyrights, these take priority in search protocols, when a takedown is called is into dispute all the paper work to prove ownership of it is at hand digitally to show who owns what and who has monetary gain rights to the copy right in question. Registration is 5000, adjustment is 500, and fines start at 50K and end at 500K to spurn abuse of the system.

If you are not registered your dispute is treated as an open license (on the same level as a GNU/GPL) where you have limited monetary gain protection. IE protected from profiteering/counterfeiting off your copy right/IP but little else, registering insures you have the most protection while allowing for the most freedom of the public.

Of course the more money you have the more likely it is you can buy a court’s ruling but this has more paper work and processes to allow for more free activities with any and all copyrights.

So until we have a more fair copy right system keep on breaking them but strive to build a less mangy pirate ship if you can.

Zippys crazy tax idea

Update the financial services bit a bit more, focusing on interest and not taxing long locked in savings accounts. Added some stuff about small biz and trying to make it so nothing more can be added due to it being corrupt by big biz.

Zippys crazy tax idea

A 20% consumer tax, all other federal taxes and fines involving money withdrawing or interacting with your money are ended, you get a tax card that’s tracked via a person’s SS number. This consumer tax seeks to charge 20% for everything that’s sold, rented or serviced. IE you sell something 20% you rent something to someone 20% you buy a service from one that’s 20%. Yard sales will be exempt for up to 20K in a year. This also means most things sold over the net would be taxed, maybe exempt up to 10K. You try and skirt the system your tax card is revoked and you have to pay full tax.

(updated) Finical services would be taxed at 20% of whatever gain is made by an individual IE if someone profits they have to pay 20% of it to Uncle Sam there are no early withdraw or and/if/or/but penalties or charges.  Locked in for a set amount of time for 5 years or more is not taxed, early withdraw on the interest only is taxed at a 20% on that interest rate of what’s withdrawn unless you can show hardship and even then the tax on the interest is paid off in small monthly payments of 10%. This why you can only gain anything if you leave it alone one of the corner stones of saving. Even with that in mind I am thinking a minim of 10 years for the lock in no tax on it.(updated)

Now you get 4 levels of single person and 4 levels of family (a child or dependent of 1 or more) this way you can amend the tax for the times if need be.

Level D for singles at 30K or lower and 70K or lower for family you get 15% off the tax plus no tax on food items.

Level C for singles at 30K-70K and 70-100K for family you get 10% off plus no tax on food items.

Level B for singles at 70K-100K and 100-160K for family you get 5% off.

Level A for singles at 100K-150K and 160-200K family you get 2% off.

Over 150K for singles or 200K for family you pay the full tax.

Small business tax card: 1 or more employes at a maximum of 500K for  business propose alone not counting owners salary/payment get 10% off.

There shall be no other additions or revisions other than lowering the monetary number for high tax discounts.

Free market = Fascism

Free market = Fascism

The free market is a lie. A free market is one where the strong control the weak, thus you would have copy rights,trade marks,ect as those with power will always seek ways to conglomerate it. The free market is a lie and we shall always need reasonable regulations to stop the unreasonable conglomeration of power and special interest.

“Linking is not a crime”: Czech Pirate Party declares war on Big Content

I have no problem with linking or indexing being a crime the trouble is you have to go after what is “trying” to make a profit off distribution of licensed copyrighted items.If you are not making a profit then you can do no harm to the system, its when you make money and grow thats the heart of the problem but no one wants to discuses that rather they want you to stop posting and talking about copy righted items as they own any and all “distribution” rights to them…. Such draconian thinking has to end and we need to get over this thought of owning an idea like a piece of property…

Awareness of zippy word naw’age!

Most do not know of the horror of my writing ability. My main writing project has taken over 20 years to work on and conceptualize.Of which I have pictures made for my characters and such, fleshing out designs and such one commission at a time.

I also do random writing’s projects from 30 min to 30-60 hours they are one offs with lite or a lotta details brain stormed out in a short time fram. These are ways for me to learn words and meanings and eventually grammar itself as I was damaged in elementary school and it made me feat hand writing and reading.
