Dear Viacom…

This is no longer about right and wrong for you…it is obviously about who you can squeeze for extra cash.

Because Google provides the world with more good in a day than you’re entire conglomerate pulls off in a year.

You want to make Google responsible for copyright infringement on content they are not responsible for…even within the scope of the law.

By your own argument, the internet is also responsible, since that is the true medium upon which the content is distributed and demonstrated.

By your own argument, the world is responsible for showing clips of your content…to itself.

By your own argument, you’re a hypocritical entity that is exploiting DMCA in order to recoup fictitious profits that cannot be proven in any court.

By your own argument, you are basically one very big retarded company that spends more money suing people than it does helping people.

I might not be logical. Hell I might not even be lawful. But that doesn’t stop me from being right.

The DMCA needs to go the way of the dodo so that the industry can reinvent itself and evolve, rather than prolong what it has already demonstrated clearly as the inevitable dissolution of a market you(Viacom) never fully had the grasp to contemplate.

I dislike you even more because there is a big gaping mountain of oil in the gulf and I am distracted enough to write about your lame claim that Google is responsible for policing YOUR content.

Lame.




Dang ol’ internet.

At times like these…I have to ask myself, “What would Cheshire Cat do?”

It seems my cable modem isn’t worthy and is dropping >50% packets in and out. This makes for a very frustrated Tony.

Yeah, my internet went down, and for about a day I completely forgot I had long since prepared for this eventuality and invested in very helpful wireless technologies that would allow me to carry on, even after Time Warner couldn’t.

Anyhow, I wanted to let everyone know I am about to rapid-fire out the three posts I was originally procrastinating about but can now blame the ISP for. πŸ˜‰

Thanks for the patience guys….and if you’re wondering where the Cheshire Cat comment comes in…the very first thing I see when I turn on my computer is this:

What is a fekton?

Fekton is Shocking - Tonytown.comI have this infrequent habit of creating a word specifically in order to shrug of the negative karma the internet bestows upon me when I inadvertently use a fekton of language that would otherwise be considered profane, offensive, or ill-considered.

In this case, the word fekton specifically refers to an unimaginable amount of something, that is – so much of an object, item, or substance that it is immeasurable. Strangely enough this word rhymes very closely with a two word phrase that also describes an unimaginable amount of something.

fekton (fuhk tuhn)
(fuk’ tun)
1) An unimaginable amount of something; so much of an object, item, or substance that it is immeasurable.
2) A lot more than an ‘A$$ Load’ or ‘$h1t Ton’

Thats pretty much it. I have been taking a break from posting a regularly because, well…sometimes I need a break, and I’d prefer not to encumber my blog with a fekton of fluff πŸ˜‰

That said..yes, I am in fact a big dork that really does do this πŸ˜‰
