On Our Own Terms! Music, the Internet, & Net Neutrality.

There’s a good little blog entry over on SaveTheInternet.com that praises the Internet for allowing musicians from all walks of life a more equal footing in having access to potential audiences/supporters. The article goes on to warn that this positive outcome is more and more severely threatened by major telecommunication corporations as they gain power as gatekeepers of what they believe we should have access to. The larger issue is what is called “Net Neutrality.” There is a lot to learn about the issue but essentially Net Neutrality is stating that no one body owns the Internet and all of the content on it. Therefore telecommunication corporations have no right serving as gatekeepers .

Happy Friday, Comcast!

With this being Friday and all I usually try and post something fun. But I just read an article that makes me further hate Comcast (cable T.V. and Internet provider). Apparently they have shown their true colors as the Big Brother, censoring entity they are by being the first Internet provider to break Net Neutrality. Granted this isn’t a law, yet, but the fact that all other ISPs respect the tenants says a lot about what Comcast stands for (Big business, big brother, censorship). What does this all mean? Comcast has blocked the use of file-sharing networks because some people use these networks to share things like music. It’s comparable to your phone company cutting your service because some people use the technology to make “illegal” transactions. DUMP YOUR COMCAST INTERNET TODAY! There are so many other companies to rip you off…seriously.
