MATT DRUDGE: COPYRIGHT LAWS COULD OUTLAW LINKING TO WEBSITES
"I had a Supreme Court Justice say to me it's over"

OCTOBER 6, 2015

During an appearance on the Alex Jones Show, Drudge asserted that copyright laws which prevent websites from even linking to news stories were being advanced.

“I had a Supreme Court Justice tell me it’s over for me,” said Drudge. “They’ve got the votes now to enforce copyright law, you’re out of there. They’re going to make it so you can’t even use headlines.”

“To have a Supreme Court Justice say to me it’s over, they’ve got the votes, which means time is limited,” he added, noting that a day was coming when simply operating an independent website could be outlawed.

“That will end (it) for me – fine – I’ve had a hell of a run,” said Drudge, adding that web users were being pushed into the cyber “ghettos” of Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

“This is ghetto, this is corporate, they’re taking your energy and you’re getting nothing in return – nothing!”

Drudge warned that social media giants like Twitter and Facebook were swallowing up content and strangling the organic growth of independent Internet news platforms. Automated news aggregators like Google News also came under fire.

“Google News – hello anybody? The idiots reading that crap think there is actually a human there – there is no human there – you are being programmed to being automated even up to your news….a same corporate glaze over everything,” said Drudge.

“Stop operating in their playground, stop it,” said Drudge, asserting that people were being confined by what the likes of Facebook and Twitter defined as the Internet as a result of this “corporate makeover” of the web.

“I’m just warning this country that yes, don’t get into this false sense that you are an individual when you’re on Facebook, no you’re not, you’re a pawn in their scheme,” concluded Drudge.

MATT DRUDGE BLISTERS CORPORATE MEDIA, HILLARY CLINTON, AND ‘SICK’ AMERICANS IN RARE INTERVIEW

7 Oct 2015

(snip)


On social media: “This whole social media stuff is bogus. Facebook: ‘we have 2 billion users’? This is garbage. This is designed to demoralize the individual. ‘I’ll never have 2 billion followers.’ The Internet is what you make of it. It’s the same battle as it was in the beginning. I remember having this argument with Brit Hume once live on C-SPAN. He goes, ‘the Internet’s all UFOs and all this crap.’ And I said, ‘no, the Internet is what you make of it.’ In the beginning, they were dismissing the Internet. They were pooh-poohing it… Now they make it over in their image. Now it’s these endless, monotonous tweets–meaningless, meaningless! To me. It’s just a lot of gnats. A lot of confusion. The reality of the situation is life on Earth has not changed. We need facts; we need events; we need specifics on things. Not all this confusion. It’s almost, they’ve made the Internet over in their image, these corporations–and I think they’re failing.”

On the American public: “How sick are the American people right now? I’ve been saying that they could put Hillary Clinton’s brain in a jar in the Oval Office and she would be elected. People are really sick… People are willing to be made over in the image of these corporations.”

On relying on others’ online platforms: “The reason there’s so much anger online, also, is a newspaper like the Washington Post will leave a comment section. They don’t care what you’re saying. They don’t care what you’re thinking. That’s why you get this anger, that, ‘oh, I’m out here as a citizen and I’m operating in their playground.’ Make your own playground! The reason I’m here, Alex, is you’ve made your own playground.”

[We would never have had the coverage of the lax case if we had not created Liestoppers but had restricted ourselves to only commenting on other's sites...]

On the future of digital copyright: “I had a Supreme Court justice tell me to my face it’s over for me. Said, ‘Matt, it’s over for you. They’ve got the votes now to enforce copyright law. You’re out of there. They’re gonna make it so headlines–you can’t even use headlines.'”

“You thought Obamacare was shocking… wait until these copyright laws work their way up, and the Supreme Court decides you cannot have a website with news headlines linking across the board. Then that will end for me. Fine, I’ve had a hell of a run. It’s 20 years next year or 20 years about now. Hell of a run. I couldn’t have gone any farther. I feel completely–I have gone as far out of the galaxy as I can on this. I still wanna stay out here. But I have gone pretty damn far for what one individual can do in this culture. But I’m talking about the future. So I don’t know why they’ve been successful in pushing everybody into these little ghettos of these these Facebooks and these Tweets and these Instagrams–these Instas. This is ghetto. This is corporate. They’re taking your energy. They’re taking your energy and you’re getting nothing in return. Nothing… Ultimately, it’s boring, and the kids are always off to something new. Except for the something new is owned by the same freaking company or financed by the same banking system.”

On the media’s treatment of Hillary: “You’ve got to be the greatest you can be now–now. Before this country is so completely altered and we’re left with Hillary’s brain in the Oval Office in a jar. Cuz that’s what we’re getting. She is old and she’s sick. She is not a contender. They’re making her a contender with these propped up Saturday Night Live things; it’s like a head on a stick. And then on the Today show with [Savannah Guthrie]–a head on a stick. She is not a viable, vibrant leader for this country of 300–including the illegals, 380 million–Americans. So the media is trying to put us to sleep.”

On robots: “There’s already automated news sites–Google News, hello anybody? They actually, the idiots reading that crap think there’s actually a human there. There is no human there. You are being programmed to being automated even up to your news. And Apple News? I don’t know what that’s about. That was also creepy. A same corporate glaze over everything. I don’t see the world that way. I live in a world that’s free, colorful, vibrant, takes chances, bold, stands up to power–and that’s where I’ve made my success.”

(snip)

On Clinton-style retribution: “Look at anybody who has any form of success in the polls, is because they rumble… I’m very pessimistic on this race, because I’m just not so sure it’s not gonna end up with the dreaded brain in the jar in the Oval Office once known as Hillary Clinton, who is hypothyroid–anybody who is 70 years old who is hypothyroid, you do not elect President, ladies and gentlemen. You don’t do it… [I’m] just shaking now after seeing NBC giving her endless hours of airtime, over the past 72 hours, that Hillary’s back and that she’s back for real. Now what that means to you or me–what it means to me, I’ve got a long history with these people. They’re ugly; they play dirty. They sued me for 30 million dollars last time around–with the approval of the President, announced by the Press Secretary of the White House. A civil action. These people–and they didn’t have the NSA then… Hillary Clinton with the NSA? Good luck if you dissent. Good luck if you dissent. Snowden, I’ll switch places with you. You can come over here and rot in hell, cuz that’s what it’s gonna be.”

On corporate control of news outlets: “I just wish there was more media that was trailblazing and independent, and this, to me, is a big danger right now in this setup. You’ve got these corporations like the New York Times and Amazon now with the Washington Post, and Time Warner, and–all of them seem to be the same. This is what’s frightening. And there’s so much news in the course of the day, and the reason I think the Drudge Report is interesting every morning is it’s not exactly the same as you would see elsewhere. And that’s because I’m not involved with other people.”

On class and wealth: “I’ve been traveling a lot and I’m seeing a lot of desperation everywhere, a lot of sad desperation. I was just at an airport and, even down to this, a woman selling Southwest Airlines credit cards, standing like a robot. ‘Have-you-signed-up-yet. Are-you-a-member-of-the-club.’ It was tragic. This is a mature woman with a beautiful face and life and I’m like, ‘how did she get there? What has happened to this culture that she’s now standing as a robot like this?’ They are sucking our ability to make an income that is compatible with what you need to. So I’m getting a little frightened as I travel. On the other side of it, when I go to New York and I see some of the billionaires–it’s the other side! Endless. You know, they’re fighting over pieces of artwork. It’s gotten to the point where the have and the have-nots here is breaking.

On political television: “Why are we not allowed to have a Gore Vidal-William Buckley anymore in the media scene. Do you see who they hire–do you see who’s hired for the shows? How dull they are? Dull! Dull as dishwater… Where are the flamboyant characters? This is what America desperately needs right now: flamboyant, intellectual characters who can cut different ways. And that’s just what I’m missing. I’ve been fortunate enough to meet some of the greats of this generation. And I’ve got to tell you, they are there. It’s just they are suppressed and hidden and they’re not hired the way Gore Vidal and Buckley were back [in the] previous generation. They were not afraid of ideas. This generation is frightened of ideas, or at least it’s being suppressed.”
