No idea what you're talking about. Language has structure for a reason.

Your second sentence made me laugh. The OP's message reads like a Western Union telegram. All we needed was STOP inserted along with the dots...
I'm leaving CTU right now...STOP.. I see Jack Bauer entering the building...STOP...I will follow him...STOP.. I think he has the latest WHO CD...STOP.

[Qqmike]

How about just Stop, alone, by itself.

Excellent idea.

Ok........Stop.

@woodsmoke In your comments you are highlighting the fact that since Barak Obama become president of your land that somehow he is responsible for you not being able to download videos of music that you have bought on CD's.

Can you then highlight which laws he has passed to prevent you from downloading copyrighted material from You Tube which has nothing to do with the CD's you have bought a while ago?
Also from my understanding of the US political system, laws can only be passed by the majority who vote for them in your houses of representative and senate. Now from my knowledge of watching political programmes here in the UK the two houses in the US are dominated by Republican politicians so any laws that your current President (who is a member of the Democrat party) are not likely to become law with a majority Republican house.

So if laws have been passed to prevent you from downloading copyrighted material then surely it will have been voted in by the Republicans and not the Democrats.

I blame Bush...

...although I'm not sure for what.

GREAT QUESTION!! Nick!!

You would think..........wouldn't ya! ??

But noooooo in the U.S. there are many "autonomous" organizations that have absolutely no legal standing which are "paid enforcers" for many evil multinational corporations.

And this.....being written by a guy that most people think of as "conservative"........... lol

One of them is the RIAA, Record Industry Association of America and MPAA, etc. I provide a link to the latest thing....and it was THE FIRST HIT when I merely typed in RIAA into Google.

The RIAA has absolutely no legal standing in the U.S. but it is the "enforcer" for the "music industry" which is now largely dominated by the multinationals like Sony.

The "sue" people and also act as a defacto "court" to try to shut down.......ILLEGAL COPYING....lol the evil machination of things like Download Helper that Linux people put on their Firefox browser......

Sony does not want you to download a video and watch it using a stand alone non paid player like VLC.

Sony wants you to go to YouTube and watch the video there so that you can see adverts which is another way for Sony to get paid even though it is an advert for say........ General Motors....

I just discovered today...........literally.............. that there are now versions of the "Hero" video by Nickleback which Download Helper cannot download, but there are other, third party, uploads that can be downloaded.

I legally use a song such as Hero in the genetics section of Biology(I'm subbing for a teacher today) as a "before class" video to spark class discussion of "mutation" etc.

It is perfectly legal for me to so do in the U.S. as a "one time... ...education inspiration" use............. However, the RIAA regularly has the colleges "patrol" all the teachers files to make sure that a download has not been there for more than one day.....if there is a video that has been in a folder more than one day..........the teacher gets an e-mail to visit the Gnome at the main building who lectures you on being evil and stealing from Sony and that the college could be sued by Sony for copyright infringement.

Now....has the RIAA actually DONE that lately?

No..........it is the "threat"........... intimidation .......

A perfect example is that of SOMA fm.

There USED to be many free streaming internet radio stations in the U.S. Run by people like you and me.

The RIAA as a mouthpiece for SONY went to England...where there was a "paid subscription".........no advertisings...... service, like Last FM they cherry picked the number of songs that an "average" person listened to divided that into the subscription price and figured out the profit per song for the company and then sued all of the "free" stations in the U.S. saying that they needed to pay a royalty equivalent to that or be put off the air....

SOMA FM actually went to testify before congress and the RIAA about how the royalty calculation was invalid and.......was ignored....

All of the "free" internet radio stations in the U.S. have been basically shut down except SOMA FM which has so much notoriety that the RIAA left them alone but....that is why they have to raise so much money each month, mainly to pay royalty fees even though they very seldom actually play a "full song"...if you have listened to the station.

This has gone back and forth through several administrations but Bush actually tried to get RIAA to leave the free stations alone as long as they were not actually playing a "copyright song"........AND Bush actually tried to increase the number of 12 mile (short range) FM radio stations for Hispanics and did so for a while but again.........the COMMERCIAL stations did not want those EVIL free radio stations....(financed in large part by the federal government).

So.........to the point about the present administration.

SUPPOSEDLY "he" is ALL ABOUT THE LITTLE GUY................that is what he keep saying.............

So....if he really is...for the little guy....... why is it that he "turns a blind eye" ............to what the RIAA does.........

There is no way that I......personally ....can believe that a man as smart as him .........after all these years in office has not had the RIAA thing come across his view............

The RIAA is the "enforcer" for all those musicians that he has playing in the White House...........

So...........by "not noticing".............. the little guy gets it in the neck and the EVIL BIG CORPORATIONs continue to rake in the money.

Here is just the latest example of the RIAA actions:

Following in the footsteps of the MPAA, the Recording Industry Association in America (RIAA) is also taking a swing at torrent sites and has complained about them to the US Government.
TorrentFreak indicates that the report includes many of the sites that we’ve come accustomed to see on the blacklists of copyright owners, such as The Pirate Bay, Kickass.to, Torrentz.eu, IsoHunt, Rapidgator, and social network VKontakte.

“Some observers continue to suggest that the protection of expression is a form of censorship or restriction on fundamental freedoms, and some pirate sites cloak themselves in the language of freedom to justify themselves—sites like The Pirate Bay,” writes RIAA’s Executive Vice President Neil Turkewitz.

“We must end this assault on our humanity and the misappropriation of fundamental human rights. If the protection of expression is itself a restriction on freedom of expression, then we have entered a metaphysical Wonderland that stands logic on its head, and undermines core, shared global values about personhood,” he continues.

Now the references are to "torrent sites" such as Pirate Bay........

But the only reason that I.......here in the U.S. am not named is that.........I don't dare actually run a music torrent site......even if it ONLY plays.........."non copyright music"

Because............. when Obama reauthorized and EXPANDED the Patriot Act..........

it NOW includes the "possibility" of harm........... not just ACTUAL harm but the "POSSIBILITY" of harm to a U.S. corporation, such as..........umm Sony.........lol

If I.......... run a torrent providing "music" I ..........might..reduce the income of a corporation and cause "harm" to the corporation............even if I don't provide "paid" music.

So.............that is why there are no music torrents in the U.S.

SOMA FM testified that "he" "the station" might have to go offshore fortunately it has not, but if the fundraising drops below the copyright fees....he will either shut down or go off shore.

if one looks on ShoutCast one will see a LOT of streaming music stations in the U.S. but......they all have advertisings and are almost all associated with a physical building that houses an "over the airwaves" station.

A codicil to this is that it is a well documented phenomenon that "most" people who listen to streaming music then go and purchase the cd....but......the RIAA doesn't care because the reason for the existence of the RIAA is not to help the corporations........ it is to keep the RIAA in existence....... they have very nice jobs.... paid very well.....

There was a music station a few years ago, about which I posted, that was OFFSHORE from the U.S........

The station was streaming music to THE WHOLE WORLD ...........but not the U.S. because..........it had not obtained a "liscence" to stream music into the U.S. It later got the liscence.

The point there was.....that he was physically blocked from streaming into the U.S. by "the keepers of the net"...

There are You Tube videos of major bands...... financed by SONY........... which are not viewable in the U.S. because of "copyright restrictions".... the same video that we see here but with "extra stuff" that is viewable in Europe, for instance, because of different copyright laws than the U.S.

So.....again......the U.S. has a fence being built around it............for our protection.......... which will be used to "keep evil players out.....".......such as ISIS or whoever, but which can also be used to keep a streaming music station in japan from streaming music into the U.S.....

And this under a President who says he is for the "little guy" and not the evil corporation.

LONG WINDED AGAIN WOODSMOKE!!! lol

The OP is obfuscating the obfuscation

[whatthefunk]

Woodsmoke, your point is lost in your ramblings. How can I respond to your post when I have absolutely no idea what your point is, even after reading your post three times.
