The “internet” will be doing more than just emailing.
But we will do that too…
Thanks

DHS and the RIAA have been caught red-handed for illegally downloading music themselves: http://news.cnet.com/8301-27080_3-57345342-245/bittorrent-downloads-linked-to-riaa-dhs-ip-addresses/
So it’s okay for them to download illegal stuff but we’re not allowed to? They are always a bunch of freaking hypocrites. Spread the news that the RIAA and DHS says it’s okay for them to download illegal stuff but it’s not okay for us! That should kill this bill real fast!

No, it’s called if your IP is caught downloading illegal music then you are caught red-handed downloading illegal music! That’s exactly how DHS and the RIAA catch people who download illegal content: by IP address—duh! Whether you delete the content later or not doesn’t matter because you have already downloaded it. That’s like stealing a cell phone from the store then later returning it but it doesn’t matter because you already stole it—duh! It ain’t rocket science! hahaha
So if the RIAA and DHS are caught the same way (IP addresses directly linked to downloading illegal music), then they should be punished, too! But it’s obvious you support this bill because you work for them or are associated with them. As of this moment, only 14 favor this bill while 1557 do not! That tells you right there that you are a tr011. haha
I support this bill in all its entirely!

Well, looks like it won’t be happening tomorrow after all.

Personally I think that’s about the most boneheaded move that Smith could’ve made. Next year is an election year and nobody is going to want to go anywhere near a bill as controversial as this one during an election year. Even if it does go through Obama would probably veto it for the same reason in reverse, to get every single net-geek, techie, and so on voting for him in November (because, y’know, Gingrich or Romney stood a chance in hell anyways).
Looks like the internet may be safe after all.
Don’t forget that vetos can be overridden.

Wednesday’s hearing has been postponed, but still, it is always a good time to show your opposition to SOPA.

I’ll post this article here because it actually does have a lot to do with this bill in the big picture of things…
The Defining Issue: Not Government’s Size, But Who It’s For
The defining political issue of 2012 won’t be the government’s size. It will be who government is for.
Americans have never much liked government. After all, the nation was conceived in a revolution against government.
But the surge of cynicism now engulfing America isn’t about government’s size. It’s the growing perception that government isn’t working for average people. It’s for big business, Wall Street, and the very rich instead.
In a recent Pew Foundation poll, 77 percent of respondents said too much power is in the hands of a few rich people and corporations.

I can’t believe some of these people! They make me want to scream!
They are willing to allow the government to yank away our rights for the sake of ‘anti-piracy’? I read the bill, and guess who else does something like that? China, where you will be arrested for protesting, or talking bad about the government, the government decides minimum wages, and it is a communist country. Uh, I actually paid attention in history class, and I know that is not what America was founded on!
Yes, stealing is bad, but this bill is not going about it the right way. There are already laws in place to hit the pirates. This is going to be like hanging 10 men in the name of making sure you get a guilty one!
Why can’t the people who support this bill get that through their heads?
I have a question for CurtisNeeley who is seemingly intent on shutting down the “Pornternet” and the passage of this bill.
You seem to be comparing the China, Iran like clauses of the SOPA and PIPA bills to the actual regulation of China and Iran. So to you I ask, have you read the bill and do you understand what the bill does? Because I’m sure if you did, you can see why the bill literally cripples the internet, ruins innocent people’s works, and does nothing but creates a confuddled mess of things.
So before I go raging on about why this bill is bad… I wanted to know where you stand or if you’re bandwagoning onto this bill because your case in the Appeals Circuit Court would also be subsequently affected.
Furthermore, I will also say piracy is also bad and while a measure should be enacted… wait, we have the DMCA already… Why is this bill being considered again?

The DMCA is a ridiculous HOAX. I notified Google Inc, NameMedia Inc, and the Microsoft Corporation DMCA agents as well as the US Attorney General and the FCC. I have been ignored by everyone thus far except NameMedia Inc but only after nine months in court.
GOOG and MSFT image search engines fundamentally violate International law and could be fixed to not do so easily.

As for adult material, there are already (some) regulations regarding it. Such as that the subject of such material is above the age of 18 (as it should be) and that the viewing of such materials must also be above the age of 18 (or the majority where applicable). The owner of such material is responsible for ensuring that safeguards are in place to make sure no one under 18 can view it. (This is sadly moot point nowadays since kids can get credit card company branded debit cards from working with summer jobs as well as checking accounts and so forth.)
