SOPA delayed until after congress's winter break.

also
say hello to PIPA, SOPA's sister bill.

SOPA:
The US Department of Justice can obtain court orders against any Web site accused of facilitating or enabling copyright infringement.

Actions could include barring online advertising networks or payment companies from doing business with the infringed Web site

Internet service providers must block access to such sites

Unauthorized streaming of copyright content is a felony



PIPA:

damn...

but they couldn't even do anything to like piratebay since it's in another country right?

I don't get all this stuff...like trying to police the world is the only term I can think of.

you'd figure lots of lawyers would try to be suing this

What?!?!?!

This is outrageous.

Fuck SOPA and fuck PIPA* and fuck any motherfucking piece of scum that votes for these two treacherous bills.

Censorship the internet, our last free medium? Are we fucking serious?

*on a side note, "pipa" in Greek translates as blow-job, which is exactly what these two bills are. Government giving head to big corporations for profit.

I'm going to make my own internet, fuck these guys.

<.<

I'm sure you don't have a lot of work to do

Call me crazy, but I'm not totally anti-SOPA. I think copyright laws should be enforced, even on the internet. However, I think they could definitely find a better way to go about it.

Can't you guys kick those old farts out of there? Those assholes probably have trouble setting up an e-mail account. What can they even say about the internet?

Except SOPA has nothing to do with protecting people's works and everything to do with protecting media corporation's wallets.

^True

Good. Also from what I have read it seems SOPA was intentionally made really outrage so they would have an easier time passing PIPA.

Hence the "I think they could definitely find a better way to go about it" part.

Yes and no. We can vote them, but the Representative has to represent the are the voter lives in. Plus most people don't vote for congressmen, senate, local officials that often. The Presidential vote is the most popular (I think about 50% of the population votes) the rest come in a about 20% of the population. So alot of the Representatives use that stat and stay in office because no one really cares. They all complain, but very few actually use the power they have to do something about it.
