the painful realisation that the end is upon us.

In the recent months the number of websites who's access has been restricted based upon the country you reside in, has been increasing dramatically.
Recently China banned youtube.com and those fuckers from CTV and the comedynetwork.ca have tried to make us visit their crappy website, rather then allowing us access to comedycentral.com

My favorite torrent site demonoid.com is now no longer accessible from Canada. (you can visit it, if you live anywhere else in the world but not here)

The Internet, like radio, tv, newsprint and every other form of mass media will be controlled and restricted within a very short period of time. It has already been happening (despite not being told about it) for many long years, but now it is being blatantly done in the name of profit and not just the restriction of what could be deemed as "information not suitable for the general public consumption".

Just google "internet regulation" and you can see how its being done around the world. (im not going to write a highly articulate, well written article on the subject. Do it yourself.)
For all of us who have grown up in the age of the internet, and hoped that untethered access to information would bring civilisation out of the dark ages of misinformation, and massive propaganda are sadly disappointed.

It is amazing how we can take amazing inventions and turn them into useless shit.

Anyhow if you want to see the american comedycentral website and you live in canada. Use this http://www.the-cloak.com works for now.

read 1984 by george orwell if you havent. I'm pretty sure its the most important peice of fiction of our time. Doesn't really seem like fiction much these days though.
