Everything is a Remix by Kirby Ferguson (Must watch.)

Hello, I am going to post just 4 vimeo videos here (I know it is nothing new but whatever). Those are not new, and I will probably discuss them later. They are from an author that I like named Kirby Ferguson he has a site and a twitter. He has this amazing 4 part series called "Everything is a Remix", he also did a video on SOPA that I will add in the post below that was a bit about that. He also has new project coming (I admit I didn't contribute I was at a very difficult stage of my life back then but that always had my support.)
He says it will start before the USA elections so it is in November or before and I am SOOO excited to watch because he is an amazing film director.

Oh yes Everything is a Remix, is a documentary about nothing on this Earth being original because since of dawn of humanity we've been copying and modifying each others cultures, thinking lines etc while saying that is something really original. With nothing more to be said I hope you enjoy. Cheers ;)

So lets talk about... Political Prostituition.


Yesterday I was at the pirate bay. I am not going to show the link because I can't really show anything illegal here. Any it related to the video above and to the link to the site political-prostitution. And I am amazed to hear about SOPA related things more than 6 months before. During my search yesterday I also saw the site demonoid was also shut down. I think a bit around the world America is trying to save Hollywood by shutting sites and by extraditing people so in order to save Hollywood. The truth is Hollywood is became somewhat of a nuisance anyway. They just can't create new content, so they contemplate on doing remixes of old movies, over and over again and this is not even news. Smosh recently made a video joking exactly with that. (See the link below.)


See its funny knowing the the good people of Youtube can make better content with much lower budgets. And I don't care if Hollywood is pissed at the World because the World is competition. What pisses me about is the level of corruption in politics. By that I mean our politicians (even here in Europe yes), are standing for the big shots instead of supporting who elects them. How far is that for the people, if our leader don't root for us. We pay the taxes don't we? Why they need to take on millions given by big shots and make a blind eye to the people.
Dvds are extremely expensive, music too. So we need to pay barrels of money to all the content we want to watch? So they can be even more rich and mess with us again. Is our choice between watching less content or pay more money? Because if we paid for all we watch we would be starving!
On a last note (and I know I am writing about my personal agenda but that was explicit since the beginning of the blog) we need to find politicians with more virtues, we shouldn't let anyone enter into politics (I know I didn't vote for half of the people on my parliament, and somewhat that scares me). Or instead we should give more power into our countries decisions. You know a bit more of direct democracy. Don't you agree?

I agree that together we could make a change. By the way since I am giving this older post link, check also other of my ideas under the tag Floating Debt Speculation. Go head don't be shy, and tell me after what you think ;) . Thank you all!

Ps: If changethis doesn't help me with the manifesto I will make it and share with you all here and at squidoo, give it a month or two.

Pps: Go watch the political prostitution site above, it is important. It speaks mainly about US trying to extradit anyone who shares illegal content even if it is indirectly? Isn't this mad? I bet there are terrorist more worth of extradition U.S. ;)

Update: If you want to know more about this Non Sense of SOPA, see this amazing video by Kirby Ferguson that explains all. (It was from the time it was a REAL menace.)
