We're slowly preparing a new blog design after having updated the forum (the link on the home page was broken, it should be fixed now). Look forward to more from us in the future. Meanwhile, if you wish to discuss with us, do come on IRC some time. We aren't anywhere close to disappearing. Simply, most of our active members at the moment are full-time students with part-time jobs and thus very busy people. That said, I've personally been getting extensive training in information ethics and social theory as part of my degree: my obsessive academic endeavours aren't unrelated to my political activism.

After all the gods only know how much groups like this are needed. As for the article here here. I wholeheartedly approve and support the efforts towards fighting and opposing such things as this foul legislation. I must say am i ever glad to see this place is still up and running.

]]> Comment on MangaGamer: “Not Censoring our Games Was Unrelated to Free Speech” by Cataclysm http://yestofreedom.org/2010/01/07/mangagamer-not-censoring-our-games-was-unrelated-to-free-speech/comment-page-1/#comment-294 Cataclysm Tue, 29 Mar 2011 01:08:07 +0000 http://www.yestofreedom.org/?p=200#comment-294 It's sad, ridiculous, and frustrating that for MangaGamer to officially support their fans and employees rights to freedom would lead to, in all likelihood, a rabid horde of moralist groups finding ways to file legal claims against them. This is, correct me if I'm wrong, likely the reason why they can not officially support Yes to Freedom; it would result in bad publicity and financial suicide for a small business. It is also, in my opinion (I have many, it gives me something to discuss), disgusting that even on a personal level expressing an opinion contrary to what "moralists" spout as "normal" ostracizes you from society. It is sad to see that people in countries like Egypt and Libya fighting, protesting, and even dieing for their freedom, while groups like Equality Now can take ours away simply by shouting loud enough and long enough at governments, companies, and individuals. All I can say is you have my support, in whatever freedom you are fighting for.

I now have a work experience position in a community legal centre. Sorry our last conversation got cut off Azarius. I didn't know how to use my dad's Apple iPhone, which was my only means of connecting to the internet whilst I was overseas and navigated away from the IRC channel. I can't remember what else happened but I didn't know how to get back to the page. After that day the iPhone's internet connection didn't work properly so I gave up. Then I went to China and really had no internet access. By the time I got back to my country of residence, I was busy with my course and work, so I didn't want to come on IRC because of how it tends to drag on.

Likewise, I have met people whom I would be proud to introduce to anybody as close friends and people whom I respect, despite our (often gaping) disagreements on core policy.
