Piracy worse than child pornography!

"Although sentencing varies in the US, the new law does send a very strange message as to what the government considers 'bad' in the 21st century.

For example assaulting a police officer will get you five years, downloading child porn will get you seven years, assaulting without a weapon will get you ten years and aggravated assault six years.

So in other words if you copy a Disney CD and sell it you will be in the same league as a paedophile who is distributing pictures of sexual attacks on children.

If you copy Craig David's CD you get ten years, but if you punch him in the face and pummel him into a seven day coma you will only get six."

What?!!

storytoday.tv is an audio visual news website with an alternative view. They record five news shows a week that last between 10 to 30 minutes each. Even though it is obvious that storytoday.tv isn't striving for a sleek presentation, I find these news clips way more enjoyable (and more believable) than the bluntly biased and propaganda filled main stream news channels.

You can watch their most recent show or any of the archived shows at storytoday.tv. You may also subscribe to the storytoday.tv podcast.

Charlie Sheen - government cover-up of 9/11

Finally! Some main stream media coverage that actually is willing to discuss the facts, rather than immediately ridiculing and dismissing "conspiracy theorists" without even looking at the evidence they are presenting.

Guantanamo - Still going

Through his lawyer, Mr Odah described his treatment during his hunger strike.

"First they took my comfort items away from me. You know, my blanket, my towel, my long pants, then my shoes. I was put in isolation for 10 days."

"They came in and read out an order. It said if you refuse to eat, we will put you on the chair [for force feeding]."

He told how detainees were given "formulas" to force them to empty their bowels and were strapped to a metal chair three times a day, where a tube was inserted to administer food.

"One guy, a Saudi, told me that he had once been tortured in Saudi Arabia and that this metal chair treatment was worse than any torture he had ever endured or could imagine," Mr Odah said.
