hey, you can't do that: this is the full hour argument... -

But I think my argument might be weak; there seem to be a lot of people taking this particular video very seriously. So: I concede. -

I think you're right, but I don't feel like it's the right argument to lead with. -

One year ago today, we stopped #SOPA. Here are 5 Internet freedom issues we need to tackle the same way in 2013: https://eff.org/r.4bG6 -

And the Internet is about a lot more than that to me. -

Most of all, it frames #InternetFreedomDay as being about the unauthorized sharing of copyrighted materials. -

And it invites a framing of clueless privileged white kids who steal from black civil rights leaders and act self-righteous about it. -

It invites the unpleasant comparison between the Civil Rights struggle of the 50s and 60s with today's Internet freedom fights. -

It puts one of the practically sanctified families in American culture into the position of oppressor. -

No, I'm just 100% certain that everyone on the Internet who isn't me is doing it wrong. Somehow. -

It looks that way! It was the family who won the case back in 2003, but I guess they sold it. http://ur1.ca/ck7tt -
