Circulating on the web tonight:
During an appearance on the Alex Jones Show, Drudge asserted that copyright laws which prevent websites from even linking to news stories were being advanced.
“I had a Supreme Court Justice tell me it’s over for me,” said Drudge. “They’ve got the votes now to enforce copyright law, you’re out of there. They’re going to make it so you can’t even use headlines.”
“To have a Supreme Court Justice say to me it’s over, they’ve got the votes, which means time is limited,” he added, noting that a day was coming when simply operating an independent website could be outlawed.
“That will end (it) for me – fine – I’ve had a hell of a run,” said Drudge, adding that web users were being pushed into the cyber “ghettos” of Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
“This is ghetto, this is corporate, they’re taking your energy and you’re getting nothing in return – nothing!”
Bump for reference.
Drudge talks about these issue in a rare interview...

Why's the left afraid of people being free?
The truth of the matter is that there is tremendous pressure
to get lots of “friends” on your “friends” roster on
“Facebook”. It’s not normal or natural. Not real life. The
pressure starts the moment you “sign up” for that turkey.
No wonder people are so depressed in this day and age.
A few years ago Drudge and Beck went shopping with a story in New York.No One was willing to this day to say what it was.An associate of Drudge published a video of someone in their underwear who looked liked Roberts.That has been removed.I saw the video.When Drudge says a Supreme Court Justice tells him I believe him.
I have fewer (real) friends than fingers on my hand. I interact with dozens more people whom I would not rule out if we met face to face, but as for real friends, they are people I know I can count on when the going is rough, the chips are down, and I need a hand. They can count on me the same way.
I'd welcome more, but seldom meet people of that caliber.
I'm okay with that, because my expectations are realistic.
Reasons for people being depressed: (in this day and age)
Number 1: We have a media which revolves around creating the desire to have things we cannot afford. Be it the next, newest whatever to the lifestyles of the rich and famous, the idea was to get the workerbees to go deeply in debt thinking things would make them happy so they'd have the latest, best, fastest, newest whatever, which will be replaced by the next model in six months anyway. The carefully managed discontent levels are all out of whack as the economy fails to recover in a meaningful way, and those with no hope in sight of getting those teevee thingies who are lucky to put food on the table are getting bummed as never before. which leads to number two:
The fake recovery.
With the perception that all is well in the world garnered from the media, individuals wonder why they can't make the ends meet, why they can't find decent work, why they can't get ahead or even far enough above water to get a breath. No wonder they are depressed. With all presented as officially 'rosy', they feel like failures, they feel they have let down their parents/self/spouse/kids...
Number 3: With all that, marriages fail.
Divorce is one of the most spiritually/economically/emotionally destructive things that can happen to anyone, to a family, and to children. No shortage of that nowadays, and wedge issues are very commonly economic.
All this social media does is rub in any failures (which almost everyone has sooner or later). In debt, under/un-employed, without their spouse or family support, people are going to need some serious strength to avoid being depressed. I have had days where Faith in The Almighty has been the only thing that has kept me going, believing He has something yet for me to do.
Others look for their answers in the wrong places, and that just makes problems worse.
Sure but you think the commercially available products like that are actually coded to report an NSA or whatever alphabet bot? I sure hope not. And thats without even getting into your actual browser’s coding. It’s not like they’d tell you they are backdoored. But you’ll notice they don’t tell you they aren’t.
Besides, if rows and rows of Cray supercomps want to break into someone’s porn stash, I’m pretty sure they’ll do it regardless of code some script kiddy put up for commercial release.
People are way too trusting. We couldn’t stop them even if we wanted to.
Utterly totalitarian.

We could post paintings of the articles in collage form and call it ‘art.’
Or photos of the articles immersed in containers of urine.
Art!
FR would then be an art museum. Then you could apply for an NEA grant.
unconfirmed report had Matt leaving Ginsburgh apartment just as the sun was coming up one Sunday morning
So true. There should be software that doesn't allow anyone to use Suckerberg's name until they've watched "The Social Network", and see this psychotic dwarf laid bare.
Exactly. I.e. he’s full of it.
The entertainment and news media are promoting a most dangerous trend.
Hollywood and the media have been behind the prolific tightening of copyright laws that are intended to tighten their control and enhance profits and propaganda capability while muzzling news.
They intend to copyright the English language and Facebook intends to copyright your life.
They (Google etc) currently manipulate and eliminate derogatory search results for their friends, of which is essentially manipulating history.
They fraudulently charge concert goers huge ticket prices only to listen to a deceptive lip synched recording.
We couldn’t stop them even if we wanted to.
Depends on who "Them" is. Certainly we can stop a lot of the lesser annoyances but I doubt you can even think of keeping the government out. I remember when PGP first came out the government had a conniption.
It requires incredible computing power to produce hack resistant codes, problem is the Government will likely always have the most powerful computers.
Who has the votes, SCOTUS? What case?
Also gave away or in process of giving away ICANN so no IP, no website, no domain name, no website.
What shocks me is the absolute lack of interest in ICANN. I guess Drudge gave up fighting the transfer and Congress is all for it if it will get the pesky people off their backs but where is everyone else on this? It's Twilight Zone where it never even gets mentioned anymore.
Or do they already control the net enough that we don't see it?
