Annapolis.

La conferencia de Annapolis fue una broma. Las palabras de Ehmud Olmert, primer ministro de Israel, derrochaban odio y descontento hacia el pueblo palestino. Varias veces se refirió a ellos como "esos palestinos" y "los llamados palestinos". En pasadas ocasiones, el seños también se ha referido al pueblo palestino como "el problema palestino". Esto es realmente curioso, ya que durante el Holocausto, los nazis llamaban a los judíos "el problema judío".
Osea que no nada más los israelitas han aprendido de Hitler como llevar acabo una limpieza étnica rapida y eficaz, también han copiado expresiones suyas.

Los oprimidos se convierten en opresores.

Los masacrados se convierten en genocidas.

Los perseguidos se convierten en inquisidores.

Muchos me podrán llamar antisemita por mi repulsión hacia Israel, pero si somos objetivos, cualquiera que tenga un poco de conocimiento acerca de la historia del estado judío tendría que sentirse un poco nauseabundo. Yo no soy una persona que perdone genocidios ni robo de tierras.

Los israelitas (notese que dije Israelitas y no JUDIOS)
deberían de hacerle una estatua a Hitler, porque sin el holocausto Israel simplemente NO EXISTIRIA

Ahora, pongamonos a pensar: Si el dia de mañana, el Ku Klux Klan se decidiera a crear un estado para la gente blanca, serían blanco, valga la redundancia, de odio y críticas severísimas. They would never get away with it. Lo mismo si el Opus Dei declarara un estado sólo para los católicos. La comunidad internacional los tacharía de racistas, excluyentes, retrógradas y fundamentalistas. Entonces, ¿porqué Israel sí se sale con la suya?

Dicen que es justo que se reconstruya el estado de Israel. Entonces yo digo: Ok, restauremos también el estado Romano, y el Babilónico; y porque no? El Azteca también. Al fin y al cabo a ellos también los guió dios a la tierra prometida, su tierra prometida, Tenochtitlan. Aparte de que eran unos chingones.

Todos los argumentos del sionismo son estúpidos, racistas y discriminantes. Es un estado de apartheid y de odio. Israel, simplemente, no debería existir.

Odio la existencia de Israel.
Odio el sionismo, no a los judíos.

Record Labels are Cunts

Trent ha actualizado su blog, y ha posteado lo que pegaré aqui a continuación.
Solo confirma que las disqueras son asshats y espero que a todos los ejecutivos les explote el corazón dentro de sus pechos. Los odio. Cada vez me convenzco más que mi decisión de no comprar discos nunca jamás fue la correcta.

Several years ago I persuaded my record company to let me begin posting my master recording files on nin.com, in order to see what kind of user-generated content would materialize from my music. I had no agenda… the main reason I did it was because I thought it was cool and something I would have liked to do if it was available to me. A lot of really fun stuff started to happen….communities developed, web sites were created, even traditional radio got in the game and began playing the fans' mixes. I felt the experiment, despite not having a specific purpose, was a success. So much so that we're now releasing a remix album that includes some of this fan-created material as well as the actual multitrack master files for every song from my latest record, Year Zero.

One piece was missing to me and that was an official nin.com presence for aggregating all of the fan-created remixes. Several intrepid fans had stepped up and done a great job providing a destination for people to post these, but I felt all along this was a function I should more directly support. So, upon release of this new remix album, our plan has been to launch an official site on nin.com that would provide a place for all fan remix material and other interactive fan experiences.

Or so I thought.

On Saturday morning I became aware of a legal hitch in our plans. My former record company and current owner of all these master files, Universal, is currently involved in a lawsuit with other media titans Google (YouTube) and News Corp (MySpace). Universal is contending that these sites do not have what is referred to as "safe harbor" under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, and therefore are in copyright violation because users have uploaded music and video content that is owned by Universal. Universal feels that if they host our remix site, they will be opening themselves up to the accusation that they are sponsoring the same technical violation of copyright they are suing these companies for. Their premise is that if any fan decides to remix one of my masters with material Universal doesn't own - a "mash-up", a sample, whatever - and upload it to the site, there is no safe harbor under the DMCA (according to Universal) and they will be doing exactly what MySpace and YouTube are doing. This behavior may get hauled out in court and impact their lawsuit. Because of this they no longer will host our remix site, and are insisting that Nine Inch Nails host it. In exchange for this they will continue to let me upload my Universal masters and make them available to fans, BUT shift the liability of hosting them to me. Part of the arrangement is having user licenses that the fans sign (not unlike those on MySpace or You Tube) saying they will not use unauthorized materials. If they WERE to do such a thing, everybody sues everybody and the world abruptly ends.

While I am profoundly perturbed with this stance as content owners continue to stifle all innovation in the face of the digital revolution, it is consistent with what they have done in the past. So... we are challenged at the last second to find a way of bringing this idea to life without getting splashed by the urine as these media companies piss all over each other’s feet. We have a cool and innovative site ready to launch but we're currently scratching our heads as to how to proceed.
More to come….

By the way, the potential implications of a lawsuit like this one go well beyond creating hurdles for a Nine Inch Nails remix site. Here is an excerpt from technology site Ars Technica regarding a similar lawsuit Viacom has filed against YouTube:

The DMCA's Safe Harbor provisions aren't just important to video sharing sites; they're important to almost every sector of Internet-based business.
"Nearly every major Internet company depends on the very same legal foundation that YouTube is built on," said von Lohmann. "A legal defeat for YouTube could result in fundamental changes to its business, potentially even making it commercially impossible to embrace user-generated content without first 'clearing' every video. In other words, a decisive victory for Viacom could potentially turn the Internet into TV, a place where nothing gets on the air until a cadre of lawyers signs off," he said. "More importantly, a victory for Viacom could potentially have enormous implications for Yahoo, eBay, Amazon, MySpace, and many other Internet companies, because they all rely on the same DMCA Safe Harbors to protect many facets of their businesses, as well. The stakes are high all around."

Indeed.
