I’ve been reading your posts and I am sorry that you feel you have had your work stolen but this is NOT the way to go about it.
The way this is worded, any sight that the government decides they don’t like or any corporation doesn’t like can be shut down for little or no reason.
Consider this, someone goes over to your house and places a stolen item in your house. The said item is stolen, and they call the police and say that you have the stolen item. Without reading your rights, or even hearing your story, they arrest you and convinct you on the spot and put you in jail for stealing. You don’t get a court date, you don’t get an attorney, you just get thrown in jail.
That’s what this bill is doing, among many other things.
Also, regulating internet wire communications is an infringment on a right. I don’t want the FCC peeking into what I’m doing online. I’m not doing anything wrong, but you wouldn’t want anyone going through your drawers in your house, would you?
Agreed.
“Also, regulating internet wire communications is an infring[e]ment on a right. I don’t want the FCC peeking into what I’m doing online. I’m not doing anything wrong, but you wouldn’t want anyone going through your drawers in your house, would you?”
Incorrect. accessing anything that is “obscene” already should require that you claim to be an adult. Claiming to be an adult WAIVES the expectation of a right to privacy. This was already ruled by the Supreme Court.
Even viewing artistic nudity will require assertion of being an adult and waiving privacy when my lawsuit against NameMedia Inc, Microsoft Corporation, Google Inc and the FCC inch towards resolving.
You completely ignored my argument about this bill. What does China using the internet have to do with this? You seem to be forgetting something. We’re NOT China.
Also, China has terrible problems with hackers and viruses. Also, the Constitution has said that they can’t go through our stuff unless they have a Search Warrent. I have worked in the legal field. I know how it goes.
If you want us to become like China so much, why don’t you move there? And you’re suing those companies. Good, don’t expect the government to do it for you. What this bill is doing is allowing any picture, video, music, or even a text word to be censored and shut down an entire site. Saying the word Google and Microsoft, under this law, can make you a felon.
Again, it is sad that you have been burned, but why would you support something that will punish legit sites just to try to catch the bad ones? It’s like imprisoning innocent ten people, just to convict one.

Why do you think a law worded in the days when the situation now was only science fiction should be applied now, and could possibly help anything?
We have tons of arcane federal laws that were never updated to reflect current reality, such as the one that says you can not use any “telecommunication device” to contact anyone anonymously that “annoys” them without being thrown in prison for two years, and fined huge amounts of money.

I believe there is a far bigger picture that needs to be looked at here. There is a war brewing between the overwhelming majority of our people, and huge corporations, huge money, and those they purchased in our government so they can make even more money no matter the cost to the many.
We have seen countless laws, and countless interpretations of laws, and countless attempts on more laws, all taking away the rights of the majority of the American people to use their rights supposedly guaranteed under the first amendment of our constitution to speak their mind, since “terrorists” supposedly became the greatest threat in America, even though there is zero proof that the patriot act, or any of that has made us one bit safer according to the ACLU analysis.
We already are in a situation where about any person in “law enforcement” can give a “letter” to almost anyone else forcing them to expose everything they know about you with no due process.

There are roughly 212,646,642 MORE users of the Internet in China than in the United States. They easily use the Internet more than any two countries on earth.
The SOPA bill was discharged from the subcommittee yesterday.
Has a political career ever ended because of ONE vote? The SOPA bill is largely irrelevant except to studios or corporations until the copy[rite] act is found unconstitutional since the 1976 vague 4-factor codification of “fair-use”.
See USC 17 §107
No it wouldn’t be political suicide if passed because if you actually read the bill and gain an understanding on what’s going in then you would know that this bill is needed.
Lets just adopt North Korea’s internet policies instead and ban the internet, it will have the exact same effect. Welcome to the future, bullshit
Wow, look at that, this bill is sponsored by Lamar Smith, the same guy who wrote up the Protecting Children from Internet Pornographers act and the same guy who is blocking the legalization of marijuana bill. Go figure, lol man this guy hates civil liberties.

Europe is waiting with open arms to accept our fleeing technology sector and all the tech jobs will go with it.
How come Lamar Smith is working so hard to pass a Hollywood Liberal bill? I thought he was a Republican? Lamar Smith = Pro-Hollywood Liberal
