Theft is theft - even when it is Intellectual Property theft

Have you ever been in a pub and seen a loud drunk trying to start a fight and then when challenged seeking to involve and get back-up from his friends? I have and sometimes the friends are wise enough to stay out of things, other times they don’t and the consequence is often that they end-up getting a good-kicking. I thought of this analogy when reading an entry entitled “Get stuffed Harrington!” on a supposed ‘anti-fascist’ blog.

It reported:-

“The Great Fantasist himself, the One Big Vast Huge Onion’s farcical serial failure Patrick Harrington, is attempting to get Blogger to do the dirty legal work he’s too afraid to do himself.

He’s complained that we used the photograph above from the One Big Vast Huge Onion’s website and therefore breached his copyright.”

This was in response to a complaint I filed with Blogger (owned by Google) regarding infringment of copyright. Norfolk Unity had been warned previously that action would be taken if they did not respect copyright and could at that stage have quietly removed the offending image. That isn’t exactly their style, however.

Instead they responded by stating:-

“Anyway, Harrington’s a bit on the late side. That photo has already appeared on several other internet sites, and though we can’t be sure, we have a feeling it’s about to appear on many more. ...and we bite back.”

The picture was then posted on a number of associated sites. We were very intimidated! It also meant that we had to complain about all these other sites which have taken a hostile attitude to the Solidarity Brotherhood!

 

The result was that the image (and sometimes pages) from the following sites were removed:-

The end result was that not only Norfolk Unity but the other infantile leftist sites have made themselves appear foolish. Our Union will enforce Copyright and deal with any infringement of our legal rights.

Max Mosley - LU No different from the gutter press

You would think that supposed progressives would take a different line from the establishment gutter press. In the case of ‘Lancaster Unity’ however you would be disappointed. Last weekend the ‘News of the Screws’ published a front-page article on Formula 1 boss Max Mosley. Max is the son of Oswald and Diana Mosley who were leading British Fascists. Max, however, has distanced himself from their views and spoken out against racism.

The News of the World claimed that one of the young ladies pictured with Max was wearing a ‘concentration camp’ uniform. It used this to bring up Hitler, Mosley etc etc. Yet the picture showed one girl in suspenders and another in a US-style prison outfit. I am no historian but I believe that the stripes on a US prison uniform and a concentration camp one run horizontally and the other vertically. Surely all anti-fascists should know this?

Why then does Lancaster Unity simply reproduce these inaccuracies? Why do they follow reactionary propaganda lines dictated by the establishment gutter press? Why don’t they speak out for freedom on issues of sexuality? Do they have any ideology or world view of their own or do they simply borrow that of the establishment?

Hear the truth before you read the lies

This blog has been created on the orders of Patrick Harrington. Patrick Harrington is the General Secretary of the Solidarity Trades Union and a Director of the Third Way think-tank. He became concerned at the disinformation being spread by some blogs of the infantile left and felt that their arguments and reactionary positions needed to be analysed, deconstructed and replied to. This blog will answer all those bloggers who adopt positions which are dishonest and reactionary and not just Lancaster Unity.
