Imagine a World
Without Free Knowledge

For over a decade, we have spent millions of hours building the largest encyclopedia in human history. Right now, the U.S. Congress is considering legislation that could fatally damage the free and open Internet. For 24 hours, to raise awareness, we are blacking out Wikipedia. Learn more.

ADVrider is blacked out on January 18th to protest SOPA and PIPA. We join Wikipedia, ThumperTalk, KTMTalk and thousands of other sites whose existence is threatened. If these bills pass, it could mean the end of ADVrider. Please write your representatives to let them know the asylum must go on. -- Baldy

STOP SOPA & PIPA!
KTMTalk.com COULD GET SHUTDOWN !!!
KTMTalkTalk.com has gone dark today (January 18th) along with thousands of other websites (including our brothers at ThumperTalk.com and ADVrider.com) in protest and to raise awareness of the U.S. Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and PROTECT-IP Act (PIPA) that threatens our very existence.

In a nutshell, if passed, website owners can be held liable for any copyright infringements because of content posted by its members! So, Joe forum member has some great helmet cam footage from his weekend riding. He dubs in a little AC/DC "Back in Black" in the background and innocently posts it on his favorite discussion forum. The copyright holder gets wind of this and files a lawsuit against the website owner who in turns goes out of business in the process of defending themselves from something that they had no hand in.

Drastic times call for drastic measures and we NEED you to get involved. Learn how at AmericanCensorship.org or https://www.google.com/landing/takeaction/

All the best,

Owner - KTMTalk.com

P.S. The Munn Racing and the ShopOnline will remain open.

sounds like a great opportunity to open a business registration company on some little known island in a remote region of the world.

i'd rather listen to the bike & rider than music anyway when it comes to this example. i cant stand youtube bike cams with music.
but everyone should have the freedom to edit & dub.

example i have a CD i bought or any music i bought & decide to use my songs on my clips i should have the right too as i paid for them & the website owners should not be liable. hell if we cant post shit up whats the point of having the internet.

you paid to listen to them not copy them or use them to enhance something you wish to share or profit from.

it falls under the same area as using sound tracks in a commercial movie etc.

however it seems the govt wants to make the internet host liable for the indiscretion of its users.

copyright holders should pursue the actual people who breach their rights.
Stop downloading the manuals I have hosted :laugh

Won't work. People in the states still won't get access to them. DNS & IP restrictions. Google won't bring them up in search results either. And then OS proxy servers will be blocked too.
I'll probably have to remove every picture hosted from TLP / TLZ rides too, at least until I get every person pictured express consent to use their image. I'm a bad pirate.
:yes you're the worst kind Steve, giving away all the free info and stuff, all the time,...sheessh your ass belongs in jail!

me no like where this world is heading. It seems that every movie about the future (white suits and big brother watching you) is coming true...
And in the end, it is all about money. They think they lose money from us monkeys that post things like that. Unfortunately, Joe Blow has little cash, so he posts shit on the internet, but the poor bastards paying for servers and bandwidth, there might be some cash there........

It is all a big bunch of shit, same as going after any freedom. The internet doesn't need anyone's government, the governments of the world are damaging things enough. I think folks need to step up and say, "NO, NOT THIS TIME ASSHOLE" Might actually help if we also boycott the Music Industry and Hollywood for a few days, then we might get the government to change their mind. The folks that are pushing this don't want to lose money so that would do more than shutting down a site.
Any site where you can input info of any kind for it to be seen by others would be effected
Goodbye Facebook etc
:stupid

Doug, you interested in living in DC for about 4-8 years and sorting things out for us?

The RIAA and its ilk are and have long been totally out of control and they seem to own a substantial number of hacks on the hill.

A thing they'd have you forget as well is that their "intellectual property" is really a figment of government regulation--it isn't property in the traditional sense. One person's viewing of an electronic copy of something, copying it, downloading it, etc., doesn't deprive anyone else of the same opportunity (including the creator of course). It is less than obvious that we need regulation to grant faux-property rights in intellectual material (though we may, lots of people smarter than I argue about this). It is fairly obvious that we don't need IP regulation anywhere near as strict, expansive or aggressive as we currently have (the brainy people all seem to be in agreement on this one).

Oh Steve, your ride report pictures should be ok, generally the picture taker rather than the picture takee has the rights in the picture :laugh

I'll boycott the music and video industries, but I do that anyway :laugh who has the time to waste?

Never a truer word said
Rarely does the punishment fit the crime
i burned off a heap of cartoon dvd's for my 3yr old daughter from the originals i have to take overseas to the philippines this wednesday 25th so the originals do not get damaged.

is this a good move ? or will customs do me for copys ?

:O
SOPA & PIPA if passed would be US law, but might open the gates for other Govts to follow. I'm not sure, but my 14yo son informs me the process is stalled.

I'm pretty sure you're allowed to make a back-up copy of any thing you purchase like that, movies, software, etc, etc for personal use in-case (or to stop) the originals from being damaged.

Enjoy the trip Brett.
