The 911 truth set is up in arms about youtube’s new beta and digital rights management. Digital Rights Management means you have no rights and what you are allowed to see is managed. Not “censored” mind you it’s managed. C.R.A.P is an apt name for it.

They are advising people so inclined to archive 911 “news” footage for close analysis hoping we can beat the snot out of media with their own footage later.
“Controversial” stuff gets snuffed off the internet all the time.
In light of this primary I would suggest the same technique but I fear the inevitable.
Remember when AOL and myspace were “cool” new places on this new internet thing. Note the vacuous plastic face they present today, ever trying to monopolize by institutionalizing their software around their site exclusive of all else. Trying to make two-way communication back into one-way.
Smurf Control is what we call this.

It categorizes sites and puts them into the most Orwellian sounding classes. It is really blatant and offensive as censorship goes. Propagandamatrix is classified as “intolerance and hate”. I stopped access at work during lunch when my faves started coming up as “weapons”, yup that is correct, weapons.
Even Google is becoming non-descript. Gone are the pages upon pages of rants about the Satan inside concepts of digital rights management. Well it was several years ago, did bitching only delay it.
Vista, a bloated piece of crap only usable with ten gigabytes of memory wants the computer to totally personalize itself to me. Ha, no thanks I can wait a little on the SWAT team and the black helicopters.
Microshaft+Longhorn
And what does one get? Certainly not the page after page of YOU ORWELLIAN SATANISTS that appeared four years ago. No instead Microshaft has once again applied predatory business practices by institutionalizing them across the entire IT spectrum.
Hey, maybe with all the breadlines internet access will soon be long gone anyway. HR 1955 and S 1959, mine and my wife’s birth years….See ya’ll at the FEMA/Wackenhut/CCA “re-education” centers!

My husband & I have had to tighten the belt (understatement of the year), lately and will eventually have to decide in the next coming weeks whether or not I can keep my internet access. Food in our neck of the woods has gone up considerably and we almost can’t spare the extra “stuff” right now….I’m sure there are many, many more people like us living paycheck to paycheck that are having to make those decisions. I think it’ll be a shame to lose my little window to the world, I feel like I could lose my voice in the process. Internet access will be for the elite only soon.
But anywho….for those whom might want to strip their music and vids of DRM (CRAP)
good diary lhm!
about a year ago it was forecast that YouTube would grow too big and create the need for specialized video services. This has happened and there are plenty of other places to post and unedited, unmanaged videos.
Also, many file sharing services will allow you to host videos.
Look around for the alternatives.
