All this talk of 1934 is making me feel old (older)!
There have been a few changes since then.

Yes, things have changed since 1934. Nuclear weapons were created and used by the United States. Telegraph machine speeds increased into the gigahertz and were then called computers instead. A wire-line for unregulated communications developed and was called a unique and wholly new medium in error. See ACLU v. Reno, United States Supreme Court (June 1997) This common wire-line was finally regulated by the FCC just as television and telephones.
The last sentence has not happened yet but pends before the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals since Sept 19, 2011.
You are always here? Hmmm…
Anyways…
Do you really believe the FCC could ever regulate the Internet? Do you think declaring war on people that DOD, and every other three letter name, already worries about is a good idea?
I don’t!
We don’t need ever hacker on the planet pissed off at us!
1. Yes the FCC could regulate wire communications and they WILL because regulating wire communications is already required by law.
2. I am not afraid of ANY hacker and “hacking” is not some mysterious technique and requires capitalizing on human errors, leaks, and naivety.
3. The locally stored DNS work-around you suggested is less than trivial to defeat and would NOT work. Demanding the numerical IP address and the alias for the numerical IP address would be ordered blocked at the same time. Access to a blocked site is impossible except on an intra net.
4. I am not always here but I visit this link regularly and will till SOPA passes or is irrelevant.
5. I do extremely good figurenude photography and did very good nudes for twenty years. They are all over the Internet and I can’t control them because of Google Inc and Microsoft Corporation.
“I am not afraid of ANY hacker and “hacking” is not some mysterious technique and requires capitalizing on human errors, leaks, and naivety.”
Hmmmm…
Then why have we been frantically trying to hire hackers to defend against hackers with some of our most “secure” systems?
I think you need to expand your reading more Mr Neeley.
And why the hell does Microsoft keep sending me so damn many patches!?
I thought the NSA helped design windows 7…
“Patches” are often nothing but user identifiers and profiling.
Want to see REAL HACKING <<< click the text and read of the future. Every lead attorney for every party in BOTH copy[rite]/internet cases have copies.
Wire communications << Link to statutory definition. Even those called the internet will soon be as safe as TV for children.
1. artnude.pp.ru once had them. Legal actions in Russian is difficult.
2. listphotographers.com/ once had them. Legal actions in their language is difficult and they have not deleted the photos but are perpetually upgrading their site.
3. deviantart.com is searched by Google Inc for my figurenude art and bypasses adult filtration to display my recent figurenudes.
4. en.wikipedia.org Wikipedia Foundation removed my name from the donated figurenude photographs.
5. .jpg site:curtisneeley.com Google Inc ignores my robots.txt KEEP OUT sign
So……only your porn is being censored?
I know some Wikipedia folks…
And I know sites that have no problem blocking bots…
Is that your real picture on the FCC site?
Oh boy…….
From your FCC link Mr Neeley:
“The FCC should run a search engine and fine for inappropriate wire communications”.
Good luck with that fantasy…
Our best chance to stop SOPA and/or PIPA can be done if you have an in-person meeting with your senators. Make sure that we get at least 41 senators to agree to block the vote. The address is:
http://act.fightforthefuture.org/page/m/2e1f206a/1d1430a9/71cb3912/f863e52/2427177326/VEsH/p/eyJKU1ZUVkVGVVJWOUJRa0pTSlNVPSI6Ik5DIn0=/
Please make sure you tell them that SOPA (1) will cripple the Internet; (2) it’s the worst piece of IP legislation, an incentive for it not to pass; (3) it’s deemed unconstitutional; (4) if these bills are defeated, the general public will be relieved; (5) it would be a step backward in the Internet revolution if it was passed; (6) it isn’t certain whether the President will veto this bill; (7) it would destroy innovation and small businesses; and (8) Darrell Issa and Ron Wyden already have the alternative to both bills, which is OPEN.
If we succeed, we will no longer have to worry about SOPA and/or PIPA.
@ “if you have an in-person meeting with your senators”
Good luck with that. From all my activist stuff I found you are lucky to even get them on the phone.
@"Demanding the numerical IP address and the alias for the numerical IP address would be ordered blocked at the same time".
Do you have some super secret insider information?
I’ll send that to the experts…
So that would be kind of like the phone company being ordered to bock phone numbers you want to call?
1-867-5309
“sorry, you are not allowed to call this number”
@Mr Neeley
I already researched your case…
Your apparent need for retribution does not out-way the needs of the rest of the planet…
Or the overwhelming will…
@ WasMiddleClass “I already researched your case…”
Retribution and revenge have nothing to do with my litigation. I have been offered a GREAT deal of money already to settle. This is not about compensation or punishment except for NameMedia Inc whom I wish to no longer exist. It does not matter that they deleted my STOLEN figurenude art finally after nine months in Federal Court. There are statutory damages for their actions in the millions already.
I feel Google Inc, as operating today, needs to no longer exist profitably but feel GOOG will either find alternative income sources or chase lycos, yahoo, and facebook into the internet sunset.
There is absolutely no question that I can build a much better search engine than GOOG in a year or less.
go-oogle.net <<< just wire communications for GOOG.
@Curtis Neeley:
“CENSOR the INTERNET or else I will continue to sue google Inc and Microsoft Corporation and the Federal Communications Commission for republishing or allowing republishing of my nude art out-of-context to minors by wire.”
http://open.salon.com/blog/curtisneeley/2011/11/30/censor_the_internet_please
“It is no secret that internet wire communication are used for pornography disguised as free speech by fifty-percent or more of United States citizens including men, women, pastors, lawyers, and sitting judges. It is no secret this action is before the United States Courts. This action is being hoped to go away if ignored as is now obvious but which will not occur. “

Huh!?
The things you get yourself into :=)
We have some new info on that posted now.
Ooops wrong page here with that post.
Too much going on at one time these days….

Well I do not want to spend money on high enough quality host to reject by IPs although I have a website that does. I have several websites and I am NOT in New York but in Fayetteville Ark.
HACK
IPs altered to protect privacy.
So what?
75.127.65.162
And I dont live in Georgia, though I kind of wish I did about now…
That is just a basic everyday VPN I run to stop corporate tracking…
That place was a joke.
Try this:

It is from the good guys!
@Well I do not want to spend money on high enough quality host to reject by IPs
Huh?
So you changed yours…and…
Geeze!
This one aint bad for free…
69.197.160.67
How did we get on the topic of switching IP’s now?
This bill would make that illegal if you live in the US.
After all how could the FCC block a foreign IP from a foreign site without starting a war?
And how could they regulate foreign DNS registry’s?
Here is the problem:
This bill says it will make all software that can bypass the “blockade” illegal.
Most all software that allows you to change your IP also allows you to use a IP from another country.
The FCC/.gov can’t regulate you if you run a VPN to a foreign server, and then surf from there!
Yes; The FCC can easily regulate “the Internet” because ALL ISPs in the United States will either cooperate, be fined out of existence, or be criminals. All wire requests for data will be monitored by the FCC. Requests are already stored by all ISPs for months. Regulation by the FCC will change internet wire communications forever regardless of where you live because sites prohibited from display by the FCC will quickly wither away whether a single new bill passes or doesn’t.
PROOF? Watch Wikileaks.ch or dot-whatever now disappear without a single bill.
Your VPN or privacy software is utterly useless because they are all connected physically somewhere to the wire called the Internet.
Software can’t change an IP but only helps select proxy servers. The energy is still transmitted by regulated wires.
You grossly underestimate the People Mr Neeley!
@Requests are already stored by all ISPs for months
IF you use their DNS servers!
@Your VPN or privacy software is utterly useless because they are all connected physically somewhere to the wire called the Internet.
Well that all depends on the encryption strength between your PC and the server of your choice, and if they can break it in the middle somewhere…
I am reminded of a time when I has a ISP tech at my house because my bandwith seemed less that I paid for. I watched his screen as he tried to pull up my surfing history. He gave me a rather perplexed look that day…
I decided that I should spend some more time on this bill since there has been little talk of the true implications of it on this site, and it gets many views here.
For those viewers that may not be aware, privacy online and thus your offline life as well is basically non existent now unless you take many precautions to protect it, many including software this bill would make illegal in the US.
The real threat of this bill is that it would give the government the authority to basically erect a great firewall like China has, and make all software that is capable of bypassing it illegal.
Some may argue that the wording of the bill only allows this or that, but we have already seen secret interpretations used with existing laws that have little to do with the clear intent in the actual wording of the law.
I will post some articles that explain more.
