Europe moves to kill the Internet.

Europe is very socialist leaning this doesnt surprise me at all.

plus im sure there are some very big payments being made by the old media companys to try and hold on to their dying biz model

**squishypimp** · 10-17-2006, 01:19 PM

don't control it.
know nothing about it.
why don't they just stick to what they know and surrender to someone.

It was also the EU who had reams of paper covering catering and where it would prob cost $180 ish to prepare a sandwich. There's no end to imbeciles when they are let loose on the public.

Ministers fear that the directive would hit not only successful sites such as YouTube but also amateur ?video bloggers? who post material on their own sites. Personal websites would have to be licensed as a ?television-like service?.

Absurd

British criminal law already covers material that might incite hate or cause harm to children, Mr Woodward added. The Government?s definition of online broadcasting covers feature films, sports events, situation comedy, documentary, children?s programmes and original drama. It excludes personal websites and sites where people upload and exchange video images.

?The real risk is we drive out the next MySpace because of the cost of complying with unnecessary regulations,? Mr Woodward said. ?These businesses can easily operate outside the EU.?

Smells like someone wants to control "broadcasting" - in all it's forms. But least they get the point that nobody cares what their laws are if they don't operate under them - simply locate to a more favorable country.

Doubt this bullshit will get far.

do they take these poeple when they are babies and quaranteen them so they know nothing about real life before entering office or what?

Oh no

- Once a nation or group of nations consider they have power, the first thing they do is abuse it. That element never fails and the EU is no different.

**Dirty Dane** · 10-17-2006, 05:33 PM

When do people learn that EU is not same as Europe?

**Spunky** · 10-17-2006, 05:37 PM

Dream on Europeans

Totally correct!

There is a vast difference between the nations in Europe and an asylum of bureaucrats in Brussels who shuffle paper 24/7 and hardly read the content - despite it may be yet another "directive" which is supposed to end up as law.

**AtlantisCash** · 10-17-2006, 05:54 PM

i think, Europ gos back to the middle age darkness with their actions at this days, they shouldn't consider them selfs as some fucking democracy warriors anymore.

the similar thing one olso wants to try at Turkiye at this days, Police wanted that all INTERNET users's details to folow any actions on internet that after hacking events increased.

Damn where the fucking world gos?

i guess that older uncles can not update them selfs for new age technology & they do show how they all damn ignorant humanity motherfuckers.

well. do you guys ghink that propose could be put in to practice?

**AtlantisCash** · 10-17-2006, 06:12 PM

Bumpity bump bump

**scottybuzz** · 10-17-2006, 06:12 PM

To be honest, the rival MP who wants to be the new Prime Minster made his own video webblogs. The whole idea is completely retarded.

**MaddCaz** · 10-17-2006, 06:13 PM

damn too bad b....

**AtlantisCash** · 10-17-2006, 07:13 PM

is that just for video blogs or does porn sites count too?

i mean - anythink wrong with our business & how will they check any sites out? here is the internet, if they found something wrong what they don't want, they can just block it as what Iran does.

if so, maybe can Bush think to attack them to?

:O

Europe moves to kill the Internet.
