This whole thing reminds my way too much of why some say we need more laws to restrict legal gun ownership to prevent crimes by criminals that already cant legally own a gun in the first place.
The same old song they sing about how we need more laws to restrict law abiding peoples rights so they can stop the criminals from doing things that are already illegal by existing laws…

I believe unregulated internet wire communications have been illegal since begun. There is no option besides enforcing laws already passed.
SOPA makes absolutely no difference after existing but ignored laws are required to be followed. I wrote wire communication software BEFORE Google existed. Ten years ago it was archived.

I am severely brain damaged but can write and deploy a Google Inc search interface today. I suspect most “programers” can too. My reservation software, see archived above, was so much above search engines in complexity.
Unregulated internet wire communications have been illegal since begun. No option remains besides enforcing laws already passed.
47 USC §151
“For the purpose of regulating interstate and foreign commerce in communication by wire so as to make available, so far as possible, to all the people of the United States, without discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, or sex, a rapid, efficient, Nation-wide, and world-wide wire communication service with adequate facilities at reasonable charges, for the purpose of the national defense, for the purpose of promoting safety of life and property through the use of wire communications, and for the purpose of securing a more effective execution of this policy by centralizing authority heretofore granted by law to several agencies and by granting additional authority with respect to interstate and foreign commerce in wire communication, there is created a commission to be known as the “Federal Communications Commission”, which shall be constituted as hereinafter provided, and which shall execute and enforce the provisions of this chapter.

Attacking Ben Franklin now? Geeze…
I bet you can find a problem with all the founders too…
How about Thomas Paine? That could get interesting…
You do realize nobody is paying attention to you anymore right?
@gamerLEN
“You do realize nobody is paying attention to you anymore right?”
Did they EVER pay attention? Online and offline pornography will soon require authenticated adult viewership and that viewership dates/times be stored local to the computer used to display adult art.
Did you catch the online and offline part of the above? It is already technically trivial and has been trivial for twenty years or more.
Michael Henri Page Esq misled the Western District of Arkansas Magistrate Judge Honorable Erin L Setser and described the Google Inc search engine as, “For one thing, search is completely automated. It goes out, it crawls the web, it sees what’s there, and it reports it back. The machine has no way of knowing whether a picture is nude…”, as is totally incorrect and malicious. See Dkt 216 pp(71-75) and read the fairytale told by Google Inc in open Court.

Not anymore. Looks like they lost a lot of business today and it scared ’em good.

Speaking as a gamer nods to his screenname this is damn fine news for me. Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft (which withdrew their support a while back) are no longer supporting SOPA.

Boston D.A. Subpoenas Twitter Over Occupy Boston, Anonymous
On December 14, Twitter received a bizarre subpoena from the District Attorney of Suffolk County, which includes Boston.
It requested “All available subscriber information, for the account or accounts associated with the following information, including IP address logs for account creation and for the period December 8, 2011 to December 13, 2011

Yeah…we need more regulation…
Do they even check this site to see what the public wants???
I have been around here for a few years, and learned quite a few things…
If you watch the view counter here it always drops way off when Congress is on vacation, and goes way up on hot political topics in the media…
After a while you even learn who some are by when they are here, and what they say.
This bill never even made the main stream media, but hit #1 here thanks to the internet.
