lk737 at All U.S. Internet Providers will be policing downloads by July 12, 2012Please repost this? I have never begged for one of my posts to be boosted. I am just so worried for my friends and want you to know.
According to this article, dated March 15, 2012:
http://www.digitaltrends.com/webnews/ma
"File-sharers, beware: By July 12, major US Internet service providers (ISPs) will voluntarily begin serving as copyright police for the entertainment industry, according to Cary Sherman, chief executive of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The so-called “six-strikes” plan is said to be one of the most effective anti-piracy efforts ever established in the US."
The article goes on to give details. After six notices, internet providers will decide to throttle a person's internet speed, or cut it off altogether. I don't know if they will crack down on torrents only, or if it is up to the internet provider. I get the sense it is up to the internet provider. So some people could get away with downloading non torrents, while others might get their internet service cut off. I urge you to click it and read, as we all know people who download.
No more downloading eps of your favorite shows for vidding, gifs, or fanfiction art. No more downloading screencaps possibly. I'm so sorry my friends. I don't even know if BT Guard will work to protect you, but I would google it if I were you. It is a professional service that supposedly can protect you from the invasive eyes of your internet provider.
Just, my friends, please make each other aware. Please be aware of the date JULY 12TH. Mark your calendar and double check with your internet provider by then. If you start receiving notices of downloaded activity, this is why. And your internet service could be throttled or cut off.

- Mon, 18:04: Dressing Up http://j.mp/iIvi7e
What I do know was that I found it a little odd to see people wearing "Chinese-y" outfits at the festival. I should just call them costumes because that's what they were. And sure, I'm willing to hope that maybe some of these families had spent time in Hong Kong or something, and that maybe they did have some awareness of Chinese culture. But, I saw an ENTIRE family all dressed up in color coordinated shirts. And by entire family, I mean the three kids and what appeared to be their mother and father. (I should mention. They appeared to be white.)
And I'm down with other people being curious about different cultures. And I'm willing to admit that I'm not the most knowledgeable about Chinese culture. But, what I'm not down with is people thinking that that's how Chinese people dress. And I'm not down with exotifying any Asian culture without really examining some of the politics and values that go along with this. Why is this so acceptable? Why do people think this is a good idea?
And I'm pretty sure that if we went to an Korean/Korean American festival, I wouldn't be dressing Tae up in a han bok.
But, at the same time, I don't know what to say to people who do dress up in costumes like this. I don't want to come off as being completely rude and angry, but at the same time, if no one ever says anything, nothing will ever change
You Are Easygoing |
 You try to stay relaxed and open to whatever comes your way. You don't get hung up on plans. Each day is an adventure for you. You live with a light-heart and an open mind. Your life is what you make of it. And you make darn sure that's it's a good life! You are naturally a social creature. Even if you're all alone, you prefer to be people watching out in public. |
