“Because the biggest producers of content on the Internet are not Google and Yahoo — they’re us – we’re the ones getting policed. The real threat to the enactment of PIPA and SOPA is our ability to share things with one another.”
-Clay Shirky, in his “emergency” TED talk about SOPA and why it would create a “consumption-only Internet.”
Watch this, all. “The threat is this inversion of proof.”
“Time Warner called, and they want you back on the couch, only consuming.”
This is the best and most interesting thing I’ve heard about this whole mess. Highly recommended.
This is absolutely worth 13 minutes of your time.
