The Ghost is a Lie — Make This Happen!
A good friend of mine, Jason Armstrong (Remember Uneven Ground?) is looking for a lil’ assistance to help make a film that he has written and is about to produce, called The Ghost is a Lie. So let’s make it happen, eh?!?
By the way, you can learn more about SkeletonKeyGlobal films here, and on Youtube.

Kony 2012 Founder Caught Drunk and Masturbating
The star and director of the viral YouTube video Kony 2012 was suffering from severe malnutrition and dehydration when he was arrested Thursday night for allegedly being drunk and masturbating in public, his charity says.
Jason Russell, 33, was detained in Pacific Beach, Calif., at 11:30 a.m. for being drunk, publicly masturbating and vandalizing cars. Video Goodness below:
Russell’s Invisible Children, which calls for the arrest of Joseph Kony, the fugitive rebel leader of a Ugandan militia group known for using child soldiers, has quickly become a media sensation, netting more than 79 million views since it was posted on March 5. The video has also faced a huge amount of backlash from Ugandans and African policy experts for oversimplifying a complex issue, leaving Africans out of the debate and for calling a U.S. military invention that could cost civilian lives.
Get Your Voice Heard Before It’s Too Late.
Bill C-11 is gong through committee now, in case you didn’t see it below. While I very briefly touched the topic and called for action, complete with email addresses of the committee, let me put in plain graphical detail what this bill means to you.
(This graphic courtesy of the Canadian Coalition for Electronic Rights)
Let me expand on this a bit. As you see, all our your electronic textbooks that you paid how much for? For your class at Laurier Brantford for example? You would have to destroy it under this new bill. As if education isn’t enough already.
While you are studying for your exams you like to listen to music right? Under this new law, playing a youtube video could become no longer available in Canada. In fact, Googling Nicki Minaj, or Skrillex, or Deadmau5 and specific songs could be considered illegal under Bill C-11, cause fat cats like CIMA (who work as lapdogs for U.S. interests like RIAA) think you are a thief.
By the way, YouTube and Google won’t go away. They will just block all Canadian IPs. Look, Comedy Central does it now when you search South Park clips. Try searching for the video for Benni Benassi’s “Who’s Your Daddy?” Again, you will hit blocks based on your country on many sites. Remember the “Day of action against SOPA?” Picture that; except for Canadians, it will be forever. The chilling effect this bill will have on your life, and your internet life, is way more than the “Music Associations,” and the “Movie Associations” would have you believe.
Do not allow Canada to go the way of China, Saudi Arabia, and Cuba. You are grown up and should be able to make choices when you are on the internet. We all agree! That guy selling knock off DVDs and CDs at the Flea Market? He needs to be dealt with. The guy on the native reserve pushing features not even yet released for $5? Jail time. But checking out the latest Skrillex remix, or Rihanna collaboration, should not get you into a lawsuit or jail time.
Speak out, it will take 2 minutes. Not even. If you don’t and this bill passes as these fat cats want it amended? You will have no one, but yourself, to blame. Click the link below and send an email to parliament. Follow Bill C-11 on twitter, using the tag “#C11″, and stay tuned.
The Canadian Independent Music Association is Completely F*cking Insane
For the love of everything, if you are a Canadian, you now HAVE to stop Bill C-11. Call a Conservative, email stuart@cimamusic.ca and tweet @StuartCIMA to tell him what an
idiot out to lunch executive he is. Start tweeting under the tags #boycottcima or #stopc11. Tweet your concerns to #C11, as many of the MPs are watching this hash tag.
This is what CIMA wants your internet to look like.
This has to be the most frightening amendments I have ever seen to a legislation and I am not alone in thinking this. In fact, Alan Cross and I quoted the same parts of Michael Geist’s post.
The steady procession of Canadian music industry representatives to the Bill C-11 committee continues today with the Canadian Independent Music Association (CIMA) ready to add to an already long list of industry demands to completely overhaul the bill.
The music industry demands keep growing, but CIMA’s list is the most radical to date as it would create liability risk for social networking sites, search engines, blogging platforms, video sites, aggregators, and many other websites featuring third party contributions. If that were not enough, the industry is also calling for a new iPod tax, an extension in the term of copyright, a removal of protections for user generated content, parody, and satire, as well as an increase in statutory damage awards. Taken together, the music industry demands make SOPA look like some minor tinkering with the law.
If you like YouTube, Facebook, Reddit, Pinterest, iPod, or Google, and you don’t want them to leave or block Canadian IPs, you’d better speak up now. I’m dead serious. Canadians cannot have CIMA like controls restricting their internet experience.
Here’s a list of CIMA Executives who want to ruin your internet experience. MAIL THEM. Or phone them.

Tell them to stop being lapdogs for US record labels, since they got their panties in a knot in the US over SOPA.
