ITP V.013 TECH SAVY: SOPA:PROPOSED TO BE A PART OF TRANS PACIFIC PARTNERSHIP? (SIGN THIS PETITION)

Internet anti-censorship, anti SOPA group FIGHT FOR THE FUTURE have stated that SOPA (STOP ONLINE PIRACY ACT) has been proposed to be consolidated with TRANS PACIFIC PARTNERSHIP  (TPP) as we need you to sign a petition against SOPA and online censorship.

SOPA BILL (STOP ONLINE PIRACY ACT) was dropped in early 2012 as the U.S. SENATE has "killed the bill" due to mass online protests and blackouts from various websites, civil liberties groups and user content sites as diverse as EFF, GOOGLE, WIKEPEDIA, WORDPRESS ect.

The Stop Online Piracy Act would criminalize websites featuring "pirated and copy written" material making the Internet fair use policy obsolete. SOPA opponents state that the SOPA bill is to broad as written and could censor the web infringing on first amendment rights, civil liberties and freedom of speech.

ALSO:
Please take heed to this proposal, SOPA (SECTION 201) as it would be illegal to post covers and copyrighted material as this proposed legislation would criminalize (felony) posters. Let's protest this internet censorship, sign this petition:
http://act.demandprogress.org/sign/streaming/?akid=2242.791003.irxXhB&rd=1&t=3


FROM FIGHT FOR THE FUTURE:
They figured it out. The Internet refused to let them pass SOPA as a law, so big media’s lobbyists have pushed to include extreme Internet censorship in a secretive trade agreement known as the Trans Pacific Partnership1. It’s like they’re passing SOPA without a vote.
We know from leaked drafts2 that the TPP will make the Internet more expensive, censored, and policed. Experts say the TPP could actually kick you off the Internet by implementing a “Three Strikes You’re Out” rule when dealing with possible copyright infringement.3
TPP negotiations have been going on in secret for some time now; there have been 19 rounds of negotiations over the last 5 years.
Officials have stated that they plan to “conclude the TPP discussions” in just a few days.4
We’re partnering with our friends at OpenMedia in Canada to unite around these demands. By taking action, you send a message to political leaders of TPP countries:    
  • Protect the right of everyone to access the Internet in their daily lives.
  • Do not force ISPs to act as “Internet Police” monitoring our Internet use, censoring content, and removing whole websites.5
  • Preserve the democratic rights of sovereign countries to draft their own copyright laws.    
Together, we can stop the TPP’s Internet Censorship.
Our public outcry has stopped TPP officials from finalizing the agreement but now powerful interests are pressuring political leaders to ram through their Internet censorship plan.
Thousands of people and over 30 major organizations from across the Trans-Pacific region are working together to keep the Internet open. High ranking politicians from several countries are beginning to ask questions.6
Together, we won’t let them take away our digital rights.
For our future,
Tiffiniy, Holmes, and Evan

FROM EFF: 
How does corporate copyright lobbying threaten online freedoms? Journalist Monica Horten's new book "A Copyright Masquerade" has answers.




FROM EFF:
resident Obama was scheduled to meet with the leaders of the other eleven countries negotiating the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement ahead of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meeting in Bali, supposedly to plan the “end-game” for this massive trade deal. However, he has made a sudden decision to cancel his trip, claiming that this was a casualty of the government shutdown. Obama's announcement adds to the impression that goal of completing TPP at APEC has become unobtainable and reveal how precariously the negotiations are going.

There are reports that the remaining TPP country leaders who will be attending the APEC meeting will still be convening “with the aim of hammering out a framework.” As we've also previously mentioned, smaller issue-specific intersessional meetings have also grown more frequent and gone even further underground. So while the news of his trip getting cancelled is indeed welcome news, the TPP still could be signed even as its contents remain hidden from the public.

We only know what kind of copyright enforcement provisions are in this agreement due to leaks, but what we do know for sure is that this agreement is driven by corporate interests who want to enact their own digital policy standards through an undemocratic, backdoor process. We need to spread the word about the TPP far and wide. It's up to us to force our elected representatives to do their job and ensure that our countries are not binding our laws to secret treaties that shut users out. We've written extensively on our blog about all the different ways the TPP is a threat to the Internet, but media can sometimes be a more effective way to get people to pay attention.

Just this week, Consumers International produced three new videos about the TPP. The first is an animated video for a J-pop song called Everybody Let's Stop the TPP! (みんなでストップTPP!) by Emi Nakada and Citron 178. Consumers International then translated the lyrics and re-recorded the tune in English (it was a good thing they put a CC-BY license on the song!) and even made a karaoke version for people to sing along.

Metal legends DEICIDE will release 'IN THE MINDS OF EVIL' November 25 in North America via Century Media Records, and frontman and founding member Glen Benton couldn't be more proud of his latest offering of evil incarnate.

"Do you hear that? It's the sound of Satan singing along to the new DEICIDE!" boasts Benton of the new release, adding that "'IN THE MINDS OF EVIL' is like King Kong taking a shit on a daisy." 
The album is the eleventh studio recording of an illustrious career spanning more than 25 years, and is produced by Jason Suecoff [ALL THAT REMAINS, TRIVIUM, DEATH ANGEL, BATTLECROSS]. The album's jarring cover was taken from Australian artist Simon Cowell's painting "Power Of The Mind" and offers a fitting face to the album's 11 tracks.

  

1. In The Minds Of Evil
2. Thou Begone
3. Godkill
4. Beyond Salvation
5. Misery Of One
6. Between The Flesh And The Void
7. Even The Gods Can Bleed
8. Trample The Cross
9.  Fallen To Silence
10. Kill The Light Of Christ
11. End The Wrath Of God

DECIBEL MAGAZINE joined DEICIDE in the studio earlier this year, reporting: "Expect a super-brutal blast to the cranium. Longtime fans will pick up on nuances inspired from the almighty Legion effort." With drummer Steve Asheim adding, "we're going to get down and dirty this time around, so expect the lyrics to be brutal."

DEICIDE is (from L-R in above photo): Glen Benton (vocals and bass), Kevin Quirion (guitars), Steve Asheim (drums) and Jack Owen (guitars).

The band will preview 'IN THE MINDS OF EVIL' on the road this fall on the NO SALVATION TOUR 2013 - a DEICIDE headlining run with fellow Century Media labelmates and death metal favorites BROKEN HOPE in support. Also opening are DISGORGE and NECRONOMICON. The North American tour launches October 2 in Atlanta, GA, and ends October 24 in Austin, TX. Highlights include a convergence with the Delaware Death Fest October 5, as well as stops in New York City, Chicago and Los Angeles. Complete dates are listed below.

PROSPEKT: POST "A DESOLATE KINGDOM" VIA SOUNDCLOUD

UK based progressive/technical metal warriors  PROSPEKT have posted a new song  "A DESOLATE KINGDOM" (VIA SOUNDCLOUD), from the bands anticipated new release "The Colorless Sunshine"m due to be unleashed 10/22/2013 via SENSORY RECORDS.






FROM PROSPEKT:
*NEW TRACK POSTED ONLINE*

Introducing the first track 'A Desolate Kingdom' from our up and coming debut album. Enjoy folks!

FROM SENSORY RECORDS: 

PROSPEKT: UK Progressive Metal Quartet's Debut Due For October Release; New Track Playing

This Autumn, Sensory Records will release the energetic and unrestrained nine-track opus entitledThe Colourless Sunrise -- the maiden full-length album from Oxford, England's PROSPEKT -- now locked down for an October 22nd street date.

The recently completed The Colourless Sunrise was recorded by the band and then mixed by world renowned producer Jens Bogren (Opeth, Katatonia, Daylight Dies, Amon Amarth, Symphony X) and Adam 'Nolly' Getgood (of Periphery), and mastered by Borgen as well. Surging beyond the one-hour mark, the huge The Colourless Sunrise recording builds upon the solid foundation PROSPEKTconstructed on their self-titled 2011-released debut EP, expanding their spires of vibrant, modern take on their respective genre to much greater heights. Influenced by bands such as Dream Theater, Symphony X, Opeth and Circus Maximus, as well as film scores and fusion, PROSPEKT combines the fierce technicality of progressive metal with the symphonic elements of contemporary prog. From brutal riffs coupled with odd time-signatures, to majestic melodies, the principle of the band's music is to create an intelligent and atmospheric mix of melodic, modern progressive metal. Incorporating passionate higher ranged vocals, frenetic guitar work, haunting orchestration and solid grooves, every composition remains both interesting and original. The album's cover art was created by Mattias Noren / ProgArt Media (Into Eternity, Evergrey, Wolverine, etc.).

Today popular prog/metal community Sea Of Tranquilly is streaming an exclusive listen to the album's opening track, "A Desolate Kingdom," now playing AT THIS LOCATION.

In the coming weeks, PROSPEKT will be filming an official video for another track from the album to be released closer to its release date. Additionally, the band will begin to perform material from The Colourless Sunrise live in support of the album, beginning with a record release show in Oxford on November 15th and much more to follow. Preorders for The Colourless Sunrise can now be placedHERE.

PROSPEKT Live:
11/15/2013 O2 Academy Oxford - Oxford, UK *record release show [info]

Review copies of The Colourless Sunrise and interviews with PROSPEKT are available now. In North/South America contact earsplitpr@aol.com.

METAL AT THE MOVIES: PART 17: BLACKHEARTS: (IN PRODUCTION):

METAL AT THE MOVIES: PART  17, "BLACKHEARTS", a metal documentary (currently in development) about the 90's Norwegian black metal scene.




"BLACKHEARTS", produced by  Gammaglimt AS - Christian Falch and directed by Fredrik Horn Akselsen shall be unleashed 
in 2015. 

FROM DEATH METAL.ORG: http://www.deathmetal.org/news/interview-with-christian-falch-of-norwegian-black-metal-documentary-blackhearts/



FROM BLACKHEARTS:
Great news!
The Norwegian Film Institute just granted us approx. 32.000 Euros for further development of the documentary. Hell yes!


The feature documentary movie on black metal you never thought you would see....
Description
Currently supported by:
TV2
Freedom of Expression Fundation
Midtnorsk Filmsenter
Midtnorsk Film Invest AS
Norwegian Film Institute

Produced by Gammaglimt AS
Plot Outline
Satanism. Murder. Suicide. Church Burnings. This is what brought the Norwegian black metal genre fame in the early 90´s and fanned its popularity far and wide. Its critics tend to lump all fans and artists into a single demonic pigeonhole, but a closer look into the minds, hearts and homes of those who play the music reveals a wide range of motives that are based on complex political, cultural and social factors.

The documentary is currently in development

https://soundcloud.com/sonus-mortis/a-pale-reflection


Two definite songs for the album.

Scolecophagous - New song title. Means 'The eating of worms', fits into album perfectly, both lyrically and musically. Ends with a classical piece, down trodden piano and some background atmosphere. 

A Doctrine For The End Times - Over 6 minutes of a decent tom/snare beat coupled with open chord distortion and deep rolling bass. The shakuhachi from a pale reflection makes a come back as an eerie lead instrument in the verses. Can't wait to record this one.

CLIFF BURTON: 27th ANNIVERSARY OF METALLICA's BASSIST's DEATH



CLIFF BURTON (METALLICA BASSIST): 2/10/1962-9/27/1986:
Today marks a day of infamy as today is the 27th anniversary of late METALLICA bassist Cliff Burton's death. Burton was killed in a tour bus crash while on the road with METALLICA in Ljugby Sweden.








R.I.P. Cliff, the world ain't the same with your bass, and bellbottoms, you rule bro \m/

CLIFF BURTON's unique playing style and songwriting skills was an extra and potent weapon in METALLICA's arsenal. BURTON played bass without a pic, sounding often like a guitarist with effects. 
BURTON's no frills, no sell out attitude and leadership skills will be missed.   




Bell bottoms and all, CLIFF BURTON is missed and idolized.
CLIFF EM ALL, ORION FOR ALL..
