TPB Away from keyboard censored

May 23, 2013 in revolution

from the Daily Dot

As discovered by TorrentFreak, at least four movie studios, Viacom, Paramount, Fox, and Lionsgate, have recently issued claims that they own the copyright to TPB AFK, a 2013 documentary that depicts the trials and successes of the world’s largest file sharing site, The Pirate Bay. Because of the takedown notices, Google has stopped showing links to the documentary in it’s search results.

Here’s a hitch: no one “owns” the copyright to the film; not only did none of those studios make it, it’s Creative Commons-licensed—anyone is free to distribute it with proper attribution.

pinterest sent me this email :

Hi mauxuam,

I’m sorry to say that we had to remove one of your pins from Pinterest. The reason is, it looks like the pin may have had nudity on it.

The pin was on your board “#witches” and it originally came from http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_llop82hVgV1qzdwigo1_400.jpg. Could you please remove any other pins like this from your account?

Right now we don’t allow nudity on Pinterest, because a lot of people use our site at work and around their families. We’ve outlined all this in our Help Center and acceptable use policy.

If we made a mistake and your pin didn’t have nudity on it, we’re really sorry. Please let us know so we can keep improving our process.

Thanks so much for using Pinterest.

Sincerely,
Ben & The Pinterest Team

just another example of internet bigotry
I am not interested in using their service anymore…full stop…
removed the pinterest pages on my websites and links to my pinterest account.
I will cancel my pinterest account too but I want to download some of the images I collected there first.

deleted the facebook pages for : salamaundra, cloudcyle, luccica, r36iduo, hekuli, athanor.
I will keep the mauxuam page on facebook for a bit without links to it, feeding it with all the feeds I cast, it will be automatic, very messy and unpersonal, comments will be erased.
