1. Wired has it also

http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/

Be sure to read the second article on the page too. Unrelated, but also sobering.

edit: this treaty, if it goes through as is, will absolutely require elimination of network neutrality in order to put into practice. That's the real issue- DRM and copyright are merely excuses in this case.

2. Because

boingboing is more credible that even DU.

[librechik]

7. it's at least as credible at the WAPost or WSJ--when the MSM re-hires their factcheckers

I might be persuaded to respect them as superior sources. At the moment, they are the bunk, and
boingboing is up on the subject. (and Geist (below)is no slouch)

4. IBTL. Good point and all, but this is probably calling out in some fashion.

6. Because this is now ANTI-DEMOCRATIC PARTY UNDERGROUND DOT COM

Any lie, no matter how preposterous, if it slimes Democrats and the Democratic administration, will be rec'd.

9. It is not a lie. Do YOUR research before spouting off!

[frylock]

10. oh brother

:eyes: knr strictly out of spite.

[MNDemNY]

11. too bad this one is not a lie.

Wired also is running with it. Or are they also part of the antidemocratic plot? Wake the fuck up people. Your state of hypnosis is becoming dangerous!

[girl gone mad]

13. and, yet again, you don't have your facts straight.
