    Oh really? You think? “Internet” censorship will be about unregulated display of my nude art by wire communications against my wishes before my Federal lawsuit against GOOG is over. When 47 U.S.C. §151 is obeyed as written, ALL 47 U.S.C. §153 ¶52 wire communications will be regulated by the FCC as required. My nudes will still be allowed by wire but not to the anonymous anymore. POOF!

    The laws that are on the books must be followed as written regardless of past confusion of the Courts and Congress when the obvious is pointed out clearly as has just been done by me in Federal Court filings.

    I may have to do or fight a Supreme Court appeal before it is enforced but it is decided. 2 + 2 = 4 POOF

    Remember when there was that law that required news outlets to give equal time to opposition candidates????

    That was good in m opinion, but ruled unconstitutional…

    @Porn is not accessible for more of the internet wires on Earth than can see America’s pornternet The same porn shown in the United States is NOT shown in Europe, China, or elsewhere by search engines.

    That is so full of BS I don’t even want to waste my time replying. It is REALLY easy to fool search engines…

    @You are not the least bit anonymous while connected to wires anywhere on Earth.

    You are from many prying eyes! Why the hell else would authorities have to try to force privacy providers to turn over surfing information (which many don’t keep)?

    The green links or left docket numbers bypass PACER and cost nothing.
    You can pay to compare them if you wish.

    (5:09-cv-05151) docket of case obviously ruled wrongly and now appealed.
    289 docket entries. Left numbers are the free copies.
    (11-2558) docket of the PENDING appeal of what is 2 + 2 ?
    ^^ Will likely await pending FCC v Fox, (10-1293) in the summer.

    This litigation is NOT secret.

    Case law can’t make 2 + 2 into 5 regardless of how long it has been treated as five by mistake.

    BTW The FCC “fair use” political broadcast rules still apply and were NEVER found unconstitutional in spite of your … stations are required to give equal time but at an equal price.

    That is how our law works!

    Unless you can bring a case that overturns existing case law it stands.

    I overturned case law in my state…

    Reno v ACLU partially set the CDA aside but four of those Justices have since retired. The Justices were too old to understand internet wire communications and most today still are. Most humans over 40 are as well. The Justice who wrote the Reno v ACLU opinion was 25 when the US bombed Hiroshima with the first nuclear bomb at the end of WWII and 48 when man first walked on the moon.

    It is obviously PAST time for regulation of internet and cable TV wire and radio communications as already required by law.
    It might not happen while I am alive but it will occur soon.

    I already rejected offers of more money than ALL OF YOU HAVE COMBINED.
    THIS IS NOT ABOUT MONEY FOR ME.

    The need to censor internet wire communications is not secret but maybe I should shut-up and hide?
    I will not post anything else here. Protest and call Congress all you want.

    On February 1, 1995, Senator James Exon (D-Neb.) attempted to do what had never been done before—regulate speech on the Internet.(3) Introducing the Communications Decency Amendment (CDA), Senator Exon declared a danger to society: Barbarian pornographers are at the gate and they are using the Internet to gain access to the youth of America. Senator Exon proclaimed:
    The information superhighway should not become a red light district. This legislation will keep that from happening and extend the standards of decency which have protected telephone users to new telecommunications devices.

    Once passed, our children and families will be better protected from those who would electronically cruise the digital world to engage children in inappropriate communications and introductions. The Decency Act will also clearly protect citizens from electronic stalking and protect the sanctuary of the home from uninvited indecencies.(4)

    …With the passage of legislation censoring the Internet, the battle to stop the barbarian at the gate has only just begun. The purveyors of offensive material will continue their quest to make their material available; in all likelihood the CDA will prove to only be a minor inconvenience. The opponents of on-line censorship have moved on to the next battle field, the court room.(193) The only one leaving the field of battle will be Senator Exon, who announced, prior to introducing his CDA, that he would be among the stampede of Democrats retiring from the Senate this year…

    … On June 11, 1996, a three-judge panel in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania found that the Communications Decency Act violated the First Amendment of the United States Constitution…

    Let’s just face it. Our forefathers did not want this country to be a dictatorship, monarchy, or communist run government. Sometimes I feel this is what it is. Sooner or later we will be controlled on everything we want to do, safe or not, example: this. This is expressing how we feel and what we feel about games, gaming, TV, internet and a whole bunch of things, and yet they do not realize that if they shut it off, they will not be able to use it either. Sooner or later it will be a mixture of a monarchy and a dictatorship. I am not encouraging it, I am simply stating what I FEEL!

    With SOPA Shelved, Congress Readies its Next Attack on the Internet

    One of the things that became clear in Congress’ push to pass Hollywood’s web censorship bills is that powerful corporations and the federal government do not want the rule of law to apply on the internet. The attitude that our basic freedoms and legal protections are somehow not valid on the internet is partly just the kind of reaction you would expect from entrenched powers whenever new technologies emerge, but it’s also a response to the particular peer-to-peer features of the internet that threaten to make their key sources of power — control of information flow — less relevant.

    The Online-Piracy Mess: How Chris Dodd and Hollywood blew it with SOPA

    A cool $1.5 million a year.

    That’s what the Motion Picture Association of America is reportedly paying Connecticut’s formerU.S. Sen. Chris Doddto slide an anti-Internet-piracy bill through Congress. His insider knowledge, his old-fashioned liberal credentials, and his winning smile were supposed to make it all so very easy.

    Except that Dodd and the MPAA and the hoard of other lobbyists stroking this issue for them now appear to be drowning beneath a tidal wave of Internet opposition. And just maybe Dodd’s sweet salary might have been better spent on someone more in tune with 21st Century technology issues than old-fashioned congressional politics…

  • Comm_reply
    WasMiddleClass 02/14/2012 9:42pm

    …Dodd isn’t backing away or admitting that he might be to blame for underestimating Internet opposition or the technological fallout from what he and the MPAA have been trying to get through Congress.

    For one thing, he points out that he is forbidden from personally lobbying members of Congress until January 2013. But there’s little doubt that he was hired to orchestrate the MPAA’s lobbying effort and to be the face of the SOPA campaign…

    New Iran internet blocking

    Some days ago the Iranian government has ramped up censorship in three ways: deep packet inspection (dpi) of SSL traffic, selective blocking of IP Address and TCP port combinations, and some keyword filtering.
