Alex Jones: Mancow, Ventura Interview Scrambled by Big Brother!

See video of Alex Jones discussing Mancow Muller’s radio show being scrambled during a interview with Jesse Ventura on certain subjects such as the FEMA camps and Fast and Furious. Also in it, Mancow claims that a TV show on this on TiVo was erased, which was featured as a season pass.

FYI: Scrambling on C-band satellite and satellite radio has been happening since the 1990’s due to blackout restrictions and legal reason, before digital satellite and cable came around with error messages telling subscribers why a channel is not available in their area.

Japan: Download a pirated file, and it’s a two-year jail sentence

We love Japan and their entertainment industry -  the anime, manga, J-pop, etc. But this seems to be the Orwellian approach to copyright enforcement on the Internet.

It doesn’t seem to involve any strikes approach of warning Net users of downloading questionable materials. Japan recently amended their copyright law that will jail illegal downloaders for up to two years and a fine up to two million yen ($20,000). The uploading of copyright materials still stands at a 10-year jail sentence.

For the folks in Japan, start protesting on this if this concerns you the most – because to make this possible, the Internet providers along with copyright owners will have to track your Internet usage in a effort to catch the infringers.

UK Internet Copyright Police to Mail Out Notices by 2014

In their latest updated plans to deal with P2P file sharing networks that host copyrighted materials belonging to intellectual owners, it is said that ISPs in the country will mail out via post office copyright infringement notices to subscribers instead of email/pop-up notices over the Internet.

Perhaps they learned that email/in-screen copyright strikes notices are useless and can easily be ignored? Putting out the copyright alerts by regular post mail maybe the best effective way of tacking those alerts to the subscribers. Then there’s a chance the subscribers may have to acknowledge the copyright notice by mail in writing.

Internet Copyright war in India? Pirate Bay and Vimeo censored

Huge news for Internet users in India, the Pirate Bay and Vimeo have become inaccessible in the country.  It's hard to say whether this was done under the direction of the Indian government, or the ISPs acted alone.  The reason may be obvious here, that the Indian regime is seeking to block out sites that infringe the intellectual properties of others, such as the entertainment industry.  This may have come after a British court told its ISPs to block out the Pirate Bay, and possibly others similar to it.

It appears the Internet copyright/piracy fight is already underway for the Indian people - Are they're prepared?

Alex Jones's YouTube channel under copyright attack by Bent Pixels

Alex Jones of Infowars.com is in a bind, that his YouTube channel is being targeted by copyright claims coming from Bent Pixels over the voice of Joe Rogan, who he interviewed on the Alex Jones show. Can Alex Jones resolve this copyright dispute before his channel is gone?

Is it possible that a person's voice and/or appearance be copyrighted? Perhaps the YouTube Content ID system tends to be very sensitive and sometimes inaccurate.

Could The Pirate Bay be next after MegaUpload?

A British court is telling its ISPs to block out the Pirate Bay, but could this happen in the US? Also it comes recently after its ISPs are told to provide customers with services that will restrict Internet porn, such as software or services they can subscribe to or download.
