Many bloggers put their contents under a restictive license. This article will show, why it is a good idea to remove copyright protection from blog contents to make censorship attacks unattractive for the censors.

In the western hemisphere open censorship is for reasons of national constitutions and problems with article 19 of the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights somehow problematic. So governments and courts following government orders invent new ideas to get information out of the internet and out of the world. Some, like the British government did it with David Shayler or like US judge T.S. Ellis did it with Khaled El-Masri, try it’s best to classify all information on government misconduct as state secrets.

Companies do not have the possibility to classify all information on misconduct as states secrets, so they are advised by Forbes magazine to misuse copyrights and libel allegations to get compromising information censored on a blog. That works, because many bloggers publish their information on misconducts and so on attributed with restrictive copyrights. Of course, bloggers may defend themselves in court. But what are the chances to go into a lawsuit against a global player and it’s well paid lawyers? Does anyone really believe, the strength of the law will be always stronger then the smell of green bucks? Does anyone believe, corrupted judges perverting justice do not extist in the field of freedom of speech?

So, how bloggers can prevent being censored by global players misusing copyrights and libel allegations or even being harassed to stop writing on government misconduct on the base of state’s secrets laws? The best protection against being censored is to release all information on a blog without any copyright. That will make it possible for other bloggers, blog archives and feed aggregators like Parteibuch Aggregator to multiplex and archive the content of blogs. That will by itself just make the information of the blog stay in the internet, even if a blog is censored. But it gives also a protection against being attacked, because censors usually do not like to attack bloggers with true information which is already internationally spread on multiple sites of the internet.

The content at Mein-Parteibuch.org is therefore released under pirate license conditions. Steal whatever you want and republish it under any license you like. Just take care, that some included 3rd party content maybe published under diffrent license terms like CC, FDL or BSD-Style. Mein-Parteibuch.org will not sue you. Mein-Parteibuch.org does not fear, that mass media will steal it’s contents and put it on their front page. Can you imagine News Corp showing on the front page of their websites news from a cat blogging for ethical behaviour, corrupted economy, misguiding information in mass media and against censorship, misconduct of governments or perversion of justice in western countries? Hugh, I guess mass media won’t steal content from cat bloggers.
