  • www.ted.com What does a bill like PIPA/SOPA mean to our shareable world? At the TED offices, Clay Shirky delivers a proper manifesto -- a call to defend our freedom to create, discuss, link and share, rather than passively consume.

    Great TEDTalk. He avoids the trap of dullness that so many technical talks fall into and managed to make the issue of human concern without being overly-sappy or appealing too much to emotion. Well done.

    This is the best description and most complete analysis of the issue. This is just perfect.

    Brilliantly put. It's this clarity that marks Clay out as a voice worth hearing.

    This gave me chills. I'm 14, and in the last year I've recently been exploring the internet. I would hate if just now that I'm starting to get into TH-cam and Tumblr; suddenly, it would be taken away from me.

  • @KaiTendo174

  • @DanielBallantyne
    @DanielBallantyne 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is a fantastic summary of and argument against SOPA/PIPA. Thanks for putting it into terms that will resonate with most people. Shifting the burden of proof from the accuser to the accused is something we should all rigorously resist as it undermines fundamental democratic principles.

    @themilkguruu It's sad that people who aren't from the US know more about our politics than many if not most Americans. I appreciate your comment and your attention to our (and I suppose your) politics. The crap that creeps into legislation while the ignorant many enjoy their bliss doesn't need to exist. Thanks TED!

    totally agree with you! thats why i love the joker from the dark knight so much (sorry for being a little bit off topic) he says, that freedom can only be achieved through chaos, and the the one thing about chaos -> it's fair (this is not a direct quote, i'm just interpretating his thoughts)

    I am a firm believer in the non-aggression principle. I think theft is so immoral that I even reject the state on that basis. But copying is not theft!

  • @dominictemple
    @dominictemple 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Really liked this video, Clay Shirky has done an excellent explanation of the problems with these ridiculous pieces of legislation. Another video that talks about the upcoming problems is Cory Doctorow's "The coming war on general computation" which points out the terrible absurdity of these laws and why they will keep on coming.

  • @bugsz1
    @bugsz1 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Agreed. There are already commerce laws addressing copyright infringement. No more administrative rules and regulations need to be added.

  • @MrLenzi1
    @MrLenzi1 12 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Henry Ford, the first mass producer of cars, was sued for patent infringement. Thanks to patent laws mass production of cars was only really possible after Selden's patent ran out. And it still happened.
    If you install a software and agree not to share it, you enter a contract. If you do share it, that is a breach of contract and should have consequences. The bad thing that was done in this scenario is however not the sharing but the breach of contract.

  • @ThatOneInternGuy
    @ThatOneInternGuy 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The point of the vid is not just to inform the laymen about these two bills and why theyre bad, but that new iterations will be introduced, and that it is important to stay vigilant and informed about such bills that have not yet come to pass.

    • @StevenVillman
      @StevenVillman 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes... and this is *_still_* very relevant in 2017, because of the threat of the end of Net Neutrality if the FCC succeeds in ending Net Neutrality on December 14, 2017!!!

    Ah here's the original. The view still seem low for how clear and concise this video makes understanding the 2 bills, and what they are *really* about and why they need to say something. I actually linked this to all my co workers because it is so easy to understand.

    I just bought a new book and just finished reading it. I thought it was great and decided to let my friends borrow the book and read it. Essentially, in the eyes of MPAA and ESA, my friends are stealing and NOT PAYING to read that book, and should be punished (labeled thieves).
    That scenario is the same as downloading a music album from a friend over the internet. I see no difference. So if these laws pass, then they should disallow people from sharing physical media too. SAME THING!

  • @Nub12342
    @Nub12342 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    The fight is not over guys! We need your support again! ACTA, is an international trade agreement currently negociated by the European Union, the United States, Japan, Canada, South Korea, Australia as well as a few other countries, whose aim is to enforce copyright and tackle counterfeited goods (hence its acronym: Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement). Please thumbs this up to help raise awareness. It is worse then SOPA and will be passed in 6 days. It has been behind doors for years.

    @Sympat1cZz It was a gift from the french we didn't really have much to do with building it or naming it.
    "Give me your tired, your poor,
    Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
    The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

  • @theonetruekirk
    @theonetruekirk 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    @wstiii Depends on what is labeled as stealing. There has been trend toward
    labeling any use, even "fair use", as "stealing". If you wanted to compare and
    contrast two different scenes from two shows in an internet forum, with Sopa/Pipa you will get shut down due to "copyright infringement". Way to support narrowing our freedoms.

    The cartoon character bit reminds me of a bar in Green Bay called Grumpys. They used to have a hand-painted image of Grumpy the dwarf from "Snow White" on the door and they ended up getting in deep doodoo because of the copyright. Today, it's still called Grumpys and has a blacked-out image of Grumpy with a question mark on his face.

    Theft means that someone takes someone else's property without their consent. It means that the owner doesn't have it anymore. Sharing, copying, pirating, whatever you want to call it, means that he still owns it. There is no such thing as intellectual property.

    Gabe Newall himself made an excellent point about Piracy (Which is essentially a blanket term that can be swapped out with "Copyright Violation" these days), "Piracy is not a pricing issue, It's a service issue". I don't buy DVDs because i'm sick to the back teeth of having to watch 50 thousand titles telling me i'm a thief and a disgusting human being if i pirate content, Even though i've got the retail box for the DVD on my lap and i'm reading the promotional material.

    We need to right some wrongs. Haven't we been USED enough? This is an issue we have to understand and stay focused on because if we lose focus what chance will our kids and grand-kids have of being free to think, create, grow and stay human, as opposed, to living to consume and make money for the huge, multinational, monster corporations.
    I'm going to share and share and share information like this. Thanks Clay Shirky

    The other thing we can do more of is create and share our own stuff, music, novels, movies, animation, series. people are making great films for a fraction of the blockbuster costs. perhaps this is our chance to really get started on creating and sharing home-brewed media; get out there and reclaim the building blocks of our culture.
