First 3 speeches cancelled due to proessure from MPAA

 

Gave a speech in the University cafeteria to 150 people.

 

Later that day he was fired to save the Dean's arse.

 

This story made it to European media, Slashdot and BoingBoing

 

What kind of world is it turning into, when a Spanish person, in Spain, cannot talk freely because of American corporate greediness?

[Diso]

Well Damn that sucks. I don't get why talking about it is illegal really. There are some benefits to p2p such as transfering pictures to each other and such. But ionno, that seems a little bs

[Gryph]

This is certainly a bunch of bullshit. I'm sure Spain has some form of free speech.

[Lucandrake]

Wtf? Thats messed up, I feel sorry for the poor guy. What was he trying to say on P2P anyways?

[Agozer]

Oh please, this is too much already. If those big corporations want my money, they sure as hell won't get it this way.

[Dooz]

I agree with Agozer. This sorta makes me want to pirate even more. To fight the system. To fight the man!

 

BLACK POWER!

 

Oh wait.
