Freedom -Loving Pirate Bay Founders Not Protected by Free Speech After All

European Court of Human Rights doesn't get their appeal
On Wednesday, the Pirate Bay co-founders Fredrik Neij and Peter Sunde lost an appeal to reverse charges that they violated Sweden's Copyright Act by giving Internet users a (still quite active) forum for illegally sharing files. In late 2010, the pair were sentenced to a year in prison and hit with a fine of over $4 million. On a later appeal, the time behind bars was reduced, but the amount increased to around $6.5 million.
The latest appeal was made in June to the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, France, says the Hollywood Reporter. The TPR creators argued that the previous court's ruling represented an attack on their freedom of expression that the site's users violated copyright law, and that Neij and Sunde shouldn't be punished for receiving and providing information about those crimes. But the court wasn't having it.
The ECtHR upheld the original ruling, explaining that the protection given to Neij and Sunde "cannot reach the same level as that afforded to political expression and debate ... Since the Swedish authorities were under an obligation to protect the plaintiffs property rights in accordance with the Copyright Act ... the Court finds that there were weighty reasons for the restriction of the applicants freedom of expression."
In related news, according to TorrentFreak, the Pirate Bay have officially filed charges of copyright infringement against the copyright-enforcing organization that ripped off their logo last month. Also, following threats of legal action in Sweden, TPR has moved its now bifurcated home base to Norway and Spain plus the cloud, as previously reported. Catch up on their story via the recently released The Pirate Bay: Away From Keyboarddocumentary.

Freedom -Loving Pirate Bay Founders Not Protected by Free Speech After All
Freedom comes to Indian convict too late
The 16 years Sulaiman Kutty lived in the Kingdom, he spent in a prison.
After years of attempting to gain his freedom following a drug trafficking conviction, he lost all hope to see his native Kerala state in India. He slipped into mental illness and prepared himself to die in prison.
But Saudi authorities, recognizing his condition, awarded him a compassionate release from the Dammam prison.
Yet, just moments from complete freedom as he prepared to board a flight late last night for India, it all fell apart. Kutty was returned to his prison cell, his future uncertain.
According to Sulaiman Kuttys brother, Mohammed, Sulaiman became violent in the queue when Mohammed greeted him at the airport. Sulaiman attacked his brother and became violent with passengers in the queue waiting to board the flight.
Airport and airline officials, fearing that he could become violent while in flight and become a danger to his fellow passengers, demanded that Sulaiman be returned to the Dammam prison.
Kutty came to Saudi Arabia in 1997 for work, just like thousands of his fellow countrymen. Before he left his country someone had asked him to hand over a small package, containing important medicine. He was to hand this over to a sick person in Saudi Arabia. In those days it was a routine custom in India to bring packages for fellow Indians, Kutty believed.
This kind gesture made for a disastrous turning point in his life. On arrival in the Kingdom, it was found the parcel contained deadly narcotics. Kutty, then 19 years old, was detained by Saudi customs authorities for carrying drugs and later convicted and sentenced to prison for a 15-year term and a fine of SR 100,000.
A shocked Kutty, now 36, heard about the death penalty for drug traffickers. He was certain his days were numbered and became a psychiatric patient two years later in 1999.
Other inmates who spent a long time in prison are in good health. Some were able to memorize the Holy Quran, earning remission of their sentences. However, two other Indian convicts in a drug trafficking case Shaikh Mastan and Hamza received the death penalty and were executed.

Freedom students practice evacuation
Freedom students put their training to the test on Feb. 25, practicing the evacuation of their building and their reunification with parents.
"Our students, teachers and staff did a tremendous job during our evacuation drill," says Freedom Principal Mike Morriss. "Within minutes, every one of our 888 students were safely inside Drury University and the St. Robert Municipal Building."
In an orderly and quiet fashion, third, fourth and fifth graders departed Freedom Elementary for the nearby building. Color-coded signs helped ensure students remained with their teachers as they entered the temporary shelter. Once inside, teachers and students moved to specific locations, based on grade level. After all students were accounted for, checkout stations began releasing students to parents who volunteered to test the reunification process.
"When parents arrived, runners delivered children directly from their teacher to the reunification station for their parents," Morriss says.
At the reunification site, parents were required to complete paperwork and show proof of their identification before their children were released to them.
"We hope that we never need to implement our training in a real situation, but we know that we are all prepared should the need ever arise," Morriss says.
Each school within the Waynesville R-VI School District has an evacuation plan so that in the event of an emergency, students have a specific place to go. Parents of Freedom students were notified in advance about the drill.
"Our parents were very supportive of this reunification drill and we appreciate the opportunity to test our plan," Morriss says. "With every drill, you learn more about what we can do better, and nothing is more important than student safety."

Freedom Drug Rehab Announces New Website Design
Southern Michigans Freedom Treatment Center offers individualized recovery programs to help people overcome drug and alcohol addiction and sustain a life of successful recovery. Although the center is located in the Midwest, it continues to expand its reach and impact with the introduction of its new website design.
Albion, MI (PRWEB) March 15, 2013
Our center is always looking for new ways to raise awareness about addiction and recovery, said Freedom Treatment Center representative Brian Kuehne, and our new website design is a great tool with which to do it. Its cleaner, neater and simpler than our old design, making it much easier for website visitors from across the nation and the world get an overall feel for who we are, what we do and how we do it.
The main menu contains front-line information options, offering links from Freedom Treatment Centers homepage, the programs offered, the treatment methods, the blog, the location and the About page with background information on the center. Other options available from the main page include an in-depth rundown on the centers counseling options, the centers environment, the life-skills learning program and the sauna detox.
Photos featuring interior and exterior views of the center provide more background on the environment while a featured blog post allows site visitors to glance at the latest news and views. A listing of the major insurance carriers the center accepts also graces the main page, instantly answering one of the foremost questions many have about insurance coverage.
One more major perk on the main page is the Addiction Quick Jump section that allows viewers to click on the name of any drug in the alphabetical listing to learn more about abuse and addiction to that particular substance. Each page in the new design follows suit, with an easy-to-read, attractive format.
Our new website design truly reflects what Freedom Drug Rehab is all about, Kuehne said. We are here to raise awareness, educate, counsel, detoxify and help as many people as we can enjoy life to the fullest. Our website clearly shows that enjoyment can come from recovery.
Located in a semi-residential pocket of Southern Michigan, Freedom Treatment Center provides the soothing and safe environment and assistance so vital for helping people overcome drug and alcohol addiction. Treatment begins with a natural detoxification and continues with counseling, education and lifestyle changes that help ensure an ongoing and successful recovery.

USS Freedom Makes Port Visit In Hawaii (Video)
Video Reporter Interviews USS Freedom Crew In Hawaii
Crew members from the San Diego-based USS Freedom are getting a chance to stretch their sea legs during a port visit to Hawaii that began March 11.
Honolulu television station KITV4 sent journalist Ryan Kalei Tsuji to report live from both the deck and inside the Freedom yesterday morning. He interviewed several members of the crew. I've posted that video up top.
The Freedom is the Navy's first littoral combat ship, and she's on her maiden deployment. Cmdr. Timothy Wilke, USS Freedom commanding officer, explained to Public Affairs Support Element West exactly what makes a littoral combat ship so unique:
"This vessel, the littoral combat ship, is really designed for operating in the littoral shores of the land, what we commonly refer to as brown water. It does have a capability to operate in blue water, but it's mainly focused on bridging that gap of what we have in our ship class right now."
After her stop in Hawaii, the Freedom will continue on to an eight-month deployment in the Asia-Pacific region.
The Military Times reports:
The Navy plans to keep the Freedom in the region for eight months, though its San Diego-based crew will rotate out after four. Another crew will serve the rest of the deployment and take the ship back home to California.
Safe journey!

Navy sends Freedom to Singapore amid cuts
http://www.navytimes.com/news/2013/03/ap-navy-sends-lcs-freedom-singapore-amid-cuts-031213/
By Audrey McAvoy - The Associated Press Posted : Tuesday Mar 12, 2013 7:50:30 EDT
ABOARD THE FREEDOM The U.S. Navys hottest new ship and the centerpiece of its renewed focus on Asia isnt its largest vessel, or its most technologically advanced. But it has advantages that its bigger siblings lack.
The 388-foot Freedom is small enough to move among the many islands and shallow waters of Southeast Asia, a trait that allows the Navy to train alongside similar-sized vessels in the regions navies and build relationships with them.
All this, the Navy believes, will help it make sure the regions critical waterways stay open to the trillions of dollars in oil and other trade that passes through each year. Its an objective so important the Navy is sending the Freedom to Singapore this month even as automatic federal spending cuts carve into its budget.
We hold our commitment to them, to our area, our theater, so highly that this deployment has not been affected, said Rear Adm. Hugh Wetherald, the U.S. Pacific Fleet deputy chief of staff for plans, policies and requirements.
The Navy and the Pacific Fleet are still on watch, he said.
Freedom on Monday sailed to Pearl Harbor, into the prime mooring spot the Navy often reserves for ships it wants to show off. The blue and gray camouflage painted on its sides designed to confuse hostile small boats and make it less visible from shore stood out amid the plain gray hulls of the other surface vessels in port.
Until now, most U.S. ships visiting Southeast Asia have been aircraft carriers, destroyers, cruisers and other large boats well equipped for jobs such as firing cruise missiles or defending against fighter jets.
But they dwarf smaller ships U.S. partner navies from other countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei and Thailand use for missions such as patrolling the seas, catching pirates, and stopping human and drug trafficking.

Freedom -loving motorcyclists renew fight against NC helmet law
RALEIGH Motorcyclists who love the wind in their hair are pushing again for the freedom to ride without safety helmets in North Carolina, and they found support Tuesday from members of a state House committee.
North Carolina is one of 19 states where safety helmets are mandatory for all motorcyclists. Studies credit helmets with reducing deaths and serious brain injury in crashes, and a recent survey by the Governors Highway Safety Program found that 78 percent of motorcycle riders support the state law.
But opponents have tried to weaken or repeal the helmet rule in nearly every legislative session since the mid-1990s. This year their cause is led by a motorcycle-riding Republican from Gaston County.
Rep. John Torbett of Stanley enjoys the chance to ride across the state line into South Carolina, where helmets are required only for bikers 20 and younger. He parks his motorcycle and pulls off his full-face helmet.
Thats my choice, Torbett said Tuesday at a House Transportation Committee meeting. Thats what I choose to do. South Carolina provides that opportunity.
Torbetts bill would require helmets only for the youngest riders. He proposed to let motorcyclists ride bareheaded when they turned 18, but he accepted a committee amendment that would match the South Carolina standard: helmets mandatory until age 21.
Personal freedom is the chief argument for opponents of the helmet law.
Torbett warned legislators that they would hear arguments about lives saved and insurance costs reduced by helmets, but the only safety statistics considered by the committee Tuesday came from Torbett himself.
Using data he attributed to the U.S. Department of Transportation, Torbett distributed a chart that depicted slightly higher death rates for motorcyclists in states with mandatory helmet laws, when compared with those in other states. That was welcome news for a couple of committee members who wanted to support his proposal for relaxed regulation.
I agree with the bill sponsor on the freedom aspects, said Rep. Frank Iler, a Republican from Oak Island, the committee co-chairman. I had some safety concerns, but, apparently statistically, that may not be a problem.

Donald Dunn, Former Clinton White House Political Affairs Official, Joins Fuel Freedom Foundation
IRVINE, CA--(Marketwire - Mar 12, 2013) - Fuel Freedom Foundation, a nonpartisan, nonprofit campaign dedicated to breaking America's oil addiction, announced today that Donald Dunn, fundraiser and political campaign strategist, has been appointed as Executive Vice President of Development. Dunn will lead the development and fundraising efforts for the foundation.
Fuel Freedom Foundation advocates for an open fuel market that will enable cheaper, cleaner, American-made replacement fuels to compete fairly with gasoline at the pump.
Dunn has been extensively involved in fundraising and political campaigns at the local, state and federal level. Prior to joining Fuel Freedom Foundation, Dunn, a Utah native, was development director for the University of Utah's Department of Medicine. He has also served as chairman of the Utah Democratic Party and was a candidate for Congress in 2000 and 2002. Dunn served in the Clinton White House Office of Political Affairs, where he helped oversee the Southern United States. Currently, Dunn serves as a member of the Secretary of State's Advisory Committee on International Economic Policy. Dunn graduated from the University of Utah with a B.S. in political science and earned a master's degree from the London School of Economics.
"Fuel Freedom Foundation is a perfect place for me to continue serving my community and the public. High gas prices and the repercussions of our oil addiction are far-reaching. They are killing the American economy and making the financial lives of American families more difficult," said Dunn. "Fuel Freedom Foundation is creating change that will improve our economy and every American's well-being in general. I am honored and excited to help change the world by taking part in a movement that offers viable solutions to our oil addiction and promotes competition, innovation and entrepreneurship in the transportation fuels market."
Simple, inexpensive modifications to vehicles on the road today would enable cars to use replacement fuels like natural gas, methanol and ethanol. Removing regulations and commercial barriers to competition in the transportation fuels market would enable cars to be flex-fuel with minimal upgrades. By commercializing cheaper, cleaner and domestically produced replacement fuels, America would strengthen its economy, relieve families from the burden of high gas prices, secure the nation from oil-producing adversarial countries and significantly reduce harmful air toxins.
"I am pleased to welcome Donald to our team at Fuel Freedom Foundation. Our oil addiction is a nonpartisan issue threatening our way of life, our security, our economy and our health. Foreign oil drains over $330 billion a year from our economy, money that, if kept at home, could add $1 trillion to our GDP and create up to 3 million new jobs," said Joe Cannon, CEO of Fuel Freedom Foundation."Donald is a proven leader with over 23 years of experience successfully executing campaign and fundraising initiatives, and we fully expect the same successful results that always follow Donald and his pursuits."
Please visit http://www.fuelfreedom.org to learn more about how you can join the Fuel Freedom team, get involved, and help end America's addiction to oil.
About Fuel FreedomFuel Freedom Foundation is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to breaking the U.S. economy's oil addiction by paving the way for vehicles to be powered with cheaper, cleaner, healthier American replacement fuels. Consumers could easily convert their cars to run on replacement fuels for gasoline, but outdated regulations and entrenched commercial interests stand in the way. The Fuel Freedom campaign works to remove barriers to competition so that natural gas, methanol, ethanol and electricity can compete on equal footing with gasoline at the pump and the dealership. Achieving Fuel Freedom will lower fuel prices, create jobs, spur economic growth, reduce pollution, and improve national and global security.

Disgraced pol Monserrate gets month of freedom to fix diseased teeth
It seems that Hiram Monserrates teeth are as rotten as his reputation.
The prison-bound ex-pol has won an extra month of freedom for desperately needed dental work on his diseased choppers, court papers reveal.
Monserrate who was sentenced to two years in the slammer for corruption went to his dentist in mid-January complaining of recent, severe pain, defense lawyer James Neuman wrote.
Tooth doc Louis Shapiro performed repeated root canal procedures, but Monserrate still needs four more crowns installed, according to the Manhattan federal court filing.
Dr. Shapiro opines that this treatment is necessary and must be done expeditiously in order to avoid additional damage, Neuman said.
Upon information and belief, it is very unlikely that this type of work would occur while Mr. Monserrate is in custody.
Judge Colleen McMahon gave Monserrate until April 11 to start serving his time behind bars.
The disgraced Democratic lawmaker from Queens pleaded guilty last year to scamming nearly $100,000 in slush funds while serving on the city council in 2006.
He was booted from the state Senate in 2009 after getting convicted of roughing up his girlfriend, Karla Giraldo, for which he was sentenced to probation.

What Freedom Means To Me
Jaiden Ackerson, Prairie Valley First Place
"A hero is someone who understands the responsibility that comes with his freedom." -Bob Dylan
To me freedom means living in a country where democracy matters, being able to have all races and religions peacefully live and work together, and being able to make personal choices while speaking my mind.
However, freedom does not give me the license to do anything I want, whenever I want. With freedom comes responsibility. Freedom allows me to make choices in my life, and those very choices come with consequences. These consequences may affect my life as well as the lives of others. When the consequences of my choices become negative, I may lose some of my freedom, including what activities I do throughout the day, what I wear and who I spend time with, or something as simple as losing the privilege of my cell phone.
Many people in America take freedom for granted. The view freedom as a right, but it is not. Soldiers ultimately pay the price for everyone's freedom. Without freedom we wouldn't be able to obtain an education, find the job of our choice,vote, have a family, or live our everyday lives. Freedom is a privilege we must honor.
Freedom allows all citizens to have the right to pursue an education of their choice, to work hard, and to succeed in their communities and lives. We, as free people, also have a responsibility to protect our communities and the people who live there. This freedom spreads beyond me and my community. This freedom is so important to me that I must preserve it for future generations. The greatest display of appreciation for my freedom is to become the best individual I can be. Because of the freedom to dream and turn the dreams to realities, I will become that individual.

Freedom Drug Rehab Now offers 24 hr Nursing Services
Freedom Drug Rehab, a Michigan-based treatment center offers programs related to drug detox, drug rehabilitation, alcohol rehabilitation and aftercare. All recovery programs are focused on building the skill essential to kick addiction out of the individual's life for good, including the most recent addiction to services offered is 24 hour nursing services.
Albion, MI (PRWEB) March 11, 2013
24-hour nursing service is especially essential for recovering addicts going through the detox process. Severe withdrawal symptoms can hit at any time, and when they do, patients need the immediate help of qualified staff members. By easing the physical pain associated with drug detox, Freedom Treatment Center enables patients to focus on the mental and emotional aspects of their addictions.
Constant access to high-quality care is universally recognized as a hallmark of a great drug treatment center. Research on the elements of a successfully recovery program confirms this. When patients try to detox from severe addictions on their own or without quick access to medical professionals, they almost always end up failing. Just as important is the availability of follow-up care, which Freedom Treatment Center is also able to provide. The National Institute on Drug Abuse insists that detox without follow-up care is not real treatment -- and the medical professionals at Freedom Treatment Center agree. By successfully getting patients through the difficult detox stage, they are simply setting them up to do the real work of addiction recovery.
Freedom Treatment Center representative Brian Kuehne explains that the importance of high-quality, 24 hour round-the-clock care cannot be overstated. Not only is such quality of care important to the patient, it can make a world of difference for that individual's loved ones. "The peace of mind our clients' families get knowing these services are now available makes it all worth it." With such peace of mind, families of admitted patients can finally rest assured knowing that their loved ones finally have a shot at beating the physical and mental horror that is addiction.
The focus at Freedom Treatment Center is research-based treatment in a beautiful facility. The highly-trained, caring staff members are determined to help patients leave addiction behind for good, and in doing so, gain true freedom. Surrounded with 10 acres of woodland, the focus is on holistic healing.
