[議題]網路分享行為之維護立基何在？

照片轉載自他處。我只擁有以下論述。

這是個重視分享的時代。在經濟自由發展的邏輯下，商業運作已全數依靠網際網路，尤其是網路使用者的分享行為，而網路分享行為的建立全仰賴網路自由。

因此倒推回去：沒有網路自由就沒有分享行為，沒有分享行為就無法創造經濟，無法創造經濟於是商業崩壞，商業崩壞...只會買豪宅的就等著吃自己吧。

STOP SOPA, STOP PIPA, FIGHT FOR YOUR INTERNET!

[議題]網路將完全被政經勢力所控制？

不要以為這不干你的事~榨乾新台幣的惡法-ACTA

被這些歪掉了的法案搞到心神不寧，整理起來也是心有餘而力不足，幸好已有強人整理出來。

[議題]MU is taken down! Due to S.O.P.A US Government

MU遭FBI強制關閉，絕不只是美國官方打擊盜版這麼簡單。

網際網路作為體現當代民主自由面貌的主要場域，網路自由正是民主的象徵。S.O.P.A與其相關法案的擬訂不僅牽涉到政府究竟有無權力直接侵害我們所擁有的人權與自由，身為世界強國的美國也因此成為「政府有權力封鎖網路自由」的先驅。

若S.O.P.A(現已撤除)或是相關法案為美國議會通過並成為具實質效力之法律，其餘國家必將跟進；在網路自由遭法律全面封鎖、全民噤若寒蟬的情況下，政府與企業將會更緊密的結合在一起，一同宰制毫無自由思想的人們，最後不僅網路世界將產生全球性的崩解，我們所認知的自由、民主與人權也將不復存在。

這個案子雖發生在美國本土，其影響卻是全球性的─不是美國管理全球，而是網路將我們連結在一起。若代表自由民主的美國通過這項傷害自由、民主與人權的法案，並透過法律箝制網路自由與其所乘載的自由意識，那麼其他國家對網路自由的處理態度也便可想而知。

網路世界的反抗浪潮才正要開始。

下面附上Anonymous(駭客組織、首批對抗SOPA法案的網路非正式組織)的反抗聲明全文。


Citizens of the United States, We are Anonymous.

This is an urgent emergency alert to all people of the United States. The day we've all been waiting for has unfortunately arrived. The United States is censoring the internet. Our blatant response is that we will not sit while our rights are taken away by the government we trusted them to preserve. This is not a call to arms, but a call to recognition and action!

The United States government has mastered this corrupt way of giving us a false sense of freedom. We think we are free and can do what we want, but in reality we are very limited and restricted as to what we can do, how we can think, and even how our education is obtained. We have been so distracted by this mirage of freedom, that we have just become what we were trying to escape from.

For too long, we have been idle as our brothers and sisters were arrested. During this time, the government has been scheming, plotting ways to increase censorship through means of I S P block aides, D N S blockings, search engine censorship, website censorship, and a variety of other methods that directly oppose the values and ideas of both Anonymous as well as the founding fathers of this country, who believed in free speech and press!

The United States has often been used as an example of the ideal free country. When the one nation that is known for its freedom and rights start to abuse its own people, this is when you must fight back, because others are soon to follow. Do not think that just because you are not a United States citizen, that this does not apply to you. You cannot wait for your country to decide to do the same. You must stop it before it grows, before it becomes acceptable. You must destroy its foundation before it becomes too powerful.

Has the U.S. government not learned from the past? Has it not seen the 2011 revolutions? Has it not seen that we oppose this wherever we find it and that we will continue to oppose it? Obviously the United States Government thinks they are exempt. This is not only an Anonymous collective call to action. What will a Distributed Denial of Service attack do? What's a website de face ment against the corrupted powers of the government? No. This is a call for a worldwide internet and physical protest against the powers that be. Spread this message everywhere. We will not stand for this! Tell your parents, your neighbors, your fellow workers, your school teachers, and anyone else you come in contact with. This affects anyone that desires the freedom to browse anonymously, speak freely without fear of retribution, or protest without fear of arrest.

Go to every I R C network, every social network, every online community, and tell them of the atrocity that is about to be committed. If protest is not enough, the United States government shall see that we are truly legion and we shall come together as one force opposing this attempt to censor the internet once again, and in the process discourage any other government from continuing or trying.

We are Anonymous.
We are Legion.
We do not forgive censorship.
We do not forget the denial of our free rights as human beings.
To the United States government, you should've expected us.

[影集]Sherlock Season 2

劇名： 《Sherlock》(S2)

類型： 推理 / 劇情

頻道： BBC one

年份： 2010 -

演員： Benedict Cumberbatch... as Sherlock Holmes

           Martin Freeman... as Dr. John Watson

集數： 3集

這種東西好像有一就會有二... 由於已寫過第一季介紹，所以這篇就只寫個大概囉！

以下嚴重劇透，請斟酌閱讀！

甫宣佈被預定第三季的《Sherlock》，個人認為第二季的表現遠優於第一季。同樣取材自柯南‧道爾的原著，本季改編系列中最著名的三篇故事，分別為〈貝爾戈維亞的醜聞〉、〈巴斯克維爾的獵犬〉以及〈萊辛巴赫之殞落〉，編劇並於各集劇情中編入其餘篇章出現的內容。

〈2.01 A Scandal in Belgravia 貝爾戈維亞的醜聞〉

作為第二季的開場集，〈貝爾戈維亞的醜聞〉表現相當搶眼。故事雖銜接自1.03劇情，但本集主要仍著重闡述福爾摩斯如何與他一生中最重要的女人交手的過程。個人認為，儘管原著的福爾摩斯與艾琳對待彼此的方式是尊敬大於愛戀，但影集處理兩人關係時似乎小小的扭了一下，讓他們之間的關係因情愫與敵對等元素的流動而變得曖昧不明；此外，福爾摩斯和華生兩人照慣例的又被腐劇情給捉弄了。兩人招牌的獵鹿帽與貝雷帽也在本集出現。

〈2.02 The Hounds of Baskerville 巴斯克維爾的獵犬〉

同樣懸疑與詭異，影集將〈巴斯克維爾的獵犬〉和不可告人軍事單位之秘密實驗概念巧妙地連結起來，造就一篇充滿妄想的瘋狂故事。個人認為本集雖然不若前一集來得好看，但整體水準仍是比第一季要來得高。倒是觀看時一直在納悶那位有被害妄想的有錢少爺(Russell Tovey)究竟是誰，原來他是英版《Being Human》的狼人...hum......他真的很適合演這類的角色 XD

〈2.03 The Reichenbach Fall 萊辛巴赫之殞落〉

本集借用原著篇名，替福爾摩斯與莫里亞提之間的對決劃下一個極具震撼性的句點。雖然瘀血得要命，但結局鋪陳得還算有良心，只是要再等一年才能知道福爾摩斯究竟是如何算計一切了(這有說跟沒說不是一樣嗎？)。

p.s. 我不是影評，只是一個看完電視便忍不住想寫些東西的電視兒童 :P

[機造]The Hells Have Eggs

新！魔獸機造影片！

法國魔獸機造作者Olibith的新作品"The Hells Have Eggs"，典型的虐殺驚悚路線，劇本很棒，製作出來的效果完全不輸真人電影。個人覺得機造影片在製作過程中雖無須多少成本，但難度比真人運鏡還要難上數百倍。

由於裡頭有多種語言參與角色配音，因此建議開啟字幕，雖然目前只有英文字幕(中文文字幕由AFK承包翻譯中)，但詞彙相當簡單何況裡頭還有中文...btw! 中文配音由AFK成員愛普拉獻聲！

Warning! 內有極端誇張的血腥暴力內容，觀看之前請先三思！

[音樂]Outlines

第一次聽見法國嘻哈 / 電子樂隊Outlines的作品，是法國科幻動畫《The Prodigies》用於片尾曲的〈I Cannot Think〉(收錄於《The Prodigies OST》與Outlines同名EP中)，該曲同時也是Outlines的最新代表作。

由左至右

Jérôme Hadey, Jay 1 and Irfane Khan-Acito

專長於嘻哈與電子組曲的法國樂隊Outlines，由主唱Irfane Khan-Acito, Jérôme Hadey和Jay 1這三位相識已久的好友共同組成。由於主唱Irfane Khan-Acito和Jérôme Hadey兩人曾分別在美國與德國待過一段時間，因此樂隊音樂風格受美國嘻哈與德國電子合成樂相當程度的影響。

其所推出目前已知的作品分別有《Just A Lil' Lovin》(EP, 2003), 《Our Lives Are Too Short》(2007), 《Waiting In Line》(EP, 2007), 《Visions》(Single, 2009), 《I Cannot Think》(EP, 2011)五張，以上在iTunes Store上都找得到。

Anyway, 雖沒認真聽過每首作品，但個人最愛的除了〈I Cannot Think〉外，由東岸嘻哈天團武當幫(Wu-Tang Clan)靈魂人物、現為音樂製作人的RZA所跨刀合聲的〈Visoins〉更是令人不禁瘋狂looping的單曲。

〈I Cannot Think〉原收錄在《The Prodigies》原聲帶中，後來Outlines將這首重編旋律並另拍了支微MV，和原聲帶版相較既俏皮又亂來 XD 當初聽時還想這和原聲帶版也未免差太多！不過個人較喜歡原聲帶版的，所以只放這支，想看重編版請移駕這邊。

White boy soul call it rock and roll 

If it glitters it must be gold 

Conference calls are put on hold 

Let's burn together and lose control 

You keep me hungry while you eat me alive 

With you daggers and your hungry knives 

You keepme thirsty while you drink me alive 

Drink the blood of my nine to five 

and I know 

There must be a link between you and the ink 

That I use and abuse until I cannot think 

I keep my hopes in a distant fire (I cannot think) 

Burnin' burnin' with your desire (I cannot think) 

I keep my hopes in a distant fire (I cannot think) 

Burnin' burnin' with your desire (How can I think) 

I keep my hopes in a distant fire (I cannot think) 

Burnin' burnin' with your desire (I cannot think) 

I keep my hopes in a distant fire (I cannot think) 

Burnin' burnin' with your desire (How can I think) 

White boy soul call it new or old 

Pocket aces, you'd better fold 

The greatest story that's never been told 

Let's burn together as we loose control 

You keep me hungry while you eat me alive 

With you daggers and your hungry knives 

You keep me thirsty while you drink me alive 

Drink the blood of my hundredth wife 

and I know 

There must be a link between you and the ink 

That I use and abuse until I cannot think 

Think......

I keep my hopes in a distant fire (I cannot think) 

Burnin' burnin' with your desire (I cannot think) 

I keep my hopes in a distant fire (I cannot think) 

Burnin' burnin' with your desire (How can I think) 

I keep my hopes in a distant fire (I cannot think) 

Burnin' burnin' with your desire (How can I think) 

I cannot think (I keep my hopes)

另一首〈Visions〉也很棒，所以一定要放一下，不然對不起自己哪！

[RZA]

I got visions in my mind, of a world of peace

Without hunger, or hate, or poverty

Where there's freedom, justice, and equality

No problems, son, the next bottle's on me

Sometimes you may see me in the '70's style

With the nappy afro and the heavenly smile

Thinking of a world with no pain

Where no man hits a woman, no woman hits a man

Vision in my head of a world with no lead

And Martin wouldn't have died from the hole in his head

The devil time is up, so pick those nines up

Pick up your books and build your mind up

It's simple as ABC, 123

I'm envisioning the world, of G-O-D

Arm Leg Leg Arm Head, Supreme head

We won't rest, until every mouth is fed

[Irfane Khan-Acito]

I've got these visions in my mind

Where I can save all of mankind

Trying to be brave, trying to be strong

Get everyone to get along

There's always something that goes wrong

I've got these visions in my mind

Where I can see, the finish line

So I run fast and I can hear

The cloud around me disappear

Old man, he whispers in my ear

[Chorus: Irfane Khan-Acito]

You keep on praying to the sky

You'll never know until you try

You keep on praying to the sky

You'll never know until you try

You keep on praying to the sky

You'll never know until you try

You keep on praying to the sun

You'll never know until it's done

[Irfane Khan-Acito]

I've got these visions in my mind

Where I can save all of mankind

Trying to be brave, trying to be strong

Get everyone to get along

There's always something that goes wrong

I've got these visions in my mind

Where I go back, way back in time

I travel sand, mountain and sea

Looking for something desperately

And then the sirens sing to me (they sing to me)

[Chorus]

[Irfane Khan-Acito]

I've got these visions in my mind...
