I had a dream that Interest, Jubilee, and TheMediator came over for Christmas, to my house. We all opened presents, drank eggnog, and had a bunch of fun. Interest got a bunch of rice. I guess it is cause he is asian. Jubilee got bread. Don't know why, and TheMediator got an apple.
Odd dream.

I hit Top 8 Diamond League on SC2 - then went on a losing streak, dropping
nine
games in a row, and fell to Platinum. Good evening.

So do people actually look before posting? As the Portuguese thread seems to get a lot of the contest posts in it for some reason.

Because people keep sending me this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJIuYgIvKsc
I feel the need to tell people why I don't think it's a particularly good speech on the matter. Now the guy in question has done his research and brings up valid points. Yes, without question, there is hypocrisy in the industry when it comes to piracy, however this is not news nor is it the ace in the hole we've been looking for to bring these companies to their knees. Big corporations are hypocritical you say? Surely not! Hypocrisy isn't a "gotcha" for them, it's a state of being, it is the very air they breath. While acting rather smugly, the maker of the video has completely missed what's really important, informing people WHY this bill is bad. Catching companies out is not the way to stop this bill, education for the masses is. Yes, we get it, these companies profited from piracy. This is not a revelation, this has been known for a long time. This isn't going to convince a politician any more than convincing a pig that rolls in muck everyday that this particular brand of muck is disgusting. This kind of shady nonsense happens ALL THE TIME in American politics (it's not exclusive to America but America does have the largest lobbyist culture and the most money in it's politics of any country in the world). What matters is not what these companies have done in the past but what they will do if this bill passes. The consequences of this bill are dire. This is not about playing "spot the conspiracy", it's about the future of the internet and freedom of information. Regardless of the rather obnoxious nature in which this fellow expresses his opinion, which may very well put off many and makes the cause look far more wingnut than it needs to be, the real point is that it muddles the message. The message should be loud and clear, SOPA is bad because of A B and C. D E and F will happen if SOPA passes which prevents G H and I. It does not need to be any more complicated than that and the more complex the issue gets, the less people will actually care about it.
Stay on message, focus on what this bill actually does, not what the companies supporting it have done. These companies are incapable of embarrassment and discrediting them by saying "oh, but they did naughty things too!" is not a strong argument. SOPA is bad because it has the potential to cripple future innovation, strangle existing channels of freedom of expression, severely damage the competitive marketplace and gives sweeping powers to people who absolutely cannot be trusted with them, to censor and destroy for the benefit of their shareholders.

I had to stifle a giggle. It matches up surprisingly well at the start.
