Internet censorship in Russia

[NuberT]

In Germany you can't watch millions of music videos, because of reserved rights. I call that censored by capitalism. Well its mostly shitty pop music anyway^^

well technically it aint censorshipment, because, did the uploader own the rights? i dont think so, thats the law here if you dont have the licenses and rights and still upload it is seen as thievery which isnt wrong in that sentence, you took something you doesnt own, but yet its still an annoyance and ive wished we had something like fair use

Real fancy. CBA, lol.

It's a funny place, I get stopped by police all the time walking on red lights. (Cause that's illegal) So you have this funny situation of looking for police every time you want to cross the street and there are no cars. Idk.. to me that feels oppressive.

Don't even get me started on the cheating culture.. (in RL that is)

In the United States being nude in most public places is considered indecent exposure and is punishable by law. That is straight up the  dumbest thing I have ever heard of. Our bodies can be considered against the law. Women get the shorter end of the stick and may be punished for simply being barechested whereas their male counterparts would not be. A nation of equality to be sure. Of course, all laws vary with jurisdiction.

There is also the fact that we still have a failing prohibition system on many, many substances and punish people for consensual crimes associated with using drugs (ranging from a fine to jail-time, depending on the substance and jurisdiction- getting caught with a gram of weed in Minnesota might net you a small fine, getting caught with it in Montana might put you in jail) while making available and legal two of the most dangerous (Alcohol, Tobacco).

The cultural foundation here is shit.

Yeah violence is a-okay, but a little sex or nudity gets people up in arms.  Funny when you go into a game server that is playing violent video games, simulating murder and death, and they admins are worried about people using "bad words" because little kids play there.  The irony is amazing in this country.

By the way, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJNR2EpS0jw - this video is forbidden in Russia and is unavailiable to watch on youtube.

Why? Because it's "promoting suicide". Funny, isn't it.

And what fails of the law do you experience in your country?

Seeing as that a proportionally unusually high percentage of those clips show russians doing stupid shit and getting themselves into stupid situations, censoring this video in russia maybe is not the bad idea you think it is.
