Family sticks together, except that one that moves out and rarely visits.

The US, Canada and UK have refused to sign an international communications treaty at a conference in Dubai.

The three countries had objected to calls for all states to have equal rights to the governance of the internet.

Russia, China and Saudi Arabia were among those pushing for the change.


With the fact that those 3 nations pushed for this course of action could only mean trouble, im glad the UK,US and Canada have refused to sign this.

It could only bring more censorship to the internet which shouldn't happen, even the creator of the World Wide Wide web sir Tomas Berners lee was against the censorship of the internet.

Thoughts on this?

Ahh it's you. Been a while hasn't it? We WILL finish this.


Just you wait.

50 years from now we'll all tell our grand children about the first internet wars.

There is, but the guy might have also just been banned. Either way, I'm just a proxy.

This.

Giving equal rights of the internet to China or Russia? -blam!- no.

  • 12.13.2012 9:59 PM PDT

More research needed: Australia didn't sign it either.

I find that Teh-Ziod is NOT attractive for the reasons
she/he does not correct format sentences, therefore for intelligent matured members of society that may interact with her/him, may find her/him UNattractive for the reason that she/he does not comprehend with their level to successfully have a conversation therefore it will be socially an awkward interaction which may be wanted to be avoided

second i do not find it physically possible for a PERSON to be a ice cream truck.

I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

Hopefully we can prepare them for the next internet wars that are sure to come.
OT: Yay. This is all I can say.

Signatures are for little kids.

I don't like censorship.

I love it when kids these days look up the most shocking grusome stuff they can find on the internet then go to forums complaining about how depressed they are.

Hilarious.

Gamers don't die, they just go offline.

"...and the fanboys will unite to slay the Call of Duty threat for the greater good of gaming."

I'm sure those harbingers of peace and freedom (China, Russia, Saudi Arabia) who championed this treaty only had the world's best interests at heart.

Thanks; he sent it to me this morning and I took my sweet time posting it, so it's understandably a bit out of date.

Censorship = bad
Piracy = bad

But how can we stop piracy without censoring? It's quite the puzzle.

Too bad being completely and utterly wrong isn't a bannable offense.

Video games do digital distribution well, as do indie film-makers and indie musicians.

With those kinds of people it's the attitude of 'if our fans like it, they'll buy it. Yeah, some people aren't and that's inevitable'.

I mean, movies and music are going to lose profit from people simply shoplifting their DVDs/CDs. I think me might just have to live with the fact that piracy exists, and have to compensate for it.

Join the Halo Haven group!

Well, looks like the US and UK have finally come to their senses and decided that all these treaties will only lead to more censorship and SHOULD NOT be signed. Or at least, I hope that's why they aren't signing.

Allow piracy?

A lot of countries ain't sticks in the mud when it comes to Piracy unlike the US which is pushing for it to stop.

In the UK we can legally record things and can buy the required tools from a shop, but downloading something is illegal.

Figure that one out.

Them too:

Negotiators from Denmark, Italy, the Czech Republic, Sweden, Greece, Portugal, Finland, Chile, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Costa Rica and Kenya have said they would need to consult with their national governments about how to proceed and would also not be able to sign the treaty as planned on Friday.
