Well shit. I was about to post this myself. :P Beat me to it.

I agree! SOPA and PIPA and now ACTA are the worst things to happen to the internet ever! Thanks for the great resources.

Anybody wanna help me out with this discrepancy? MiddleClass, you seem to be on the ball about stuff…

DMCA establishes limitations on the liability for online service providers for copy+right infringement when engaging in certain activities. In other words, the DMCA encourages infringement.

SOPA encourages enforcement of purchased copy+rights by making advertisers and “monetizing” type vendors subject to injunctions to force no longer conspiring with the infringing sites like they do now. That would be why Google Inc AdSense, Yahoo, Microsoft Corporation etc. are paying so much to defeat this bill.
SOPA is all about money because it encourages stopping foreign sites from infringing on copy+rights as long as 17 USC § 411 , “license to sue”), are purchased.

Neeley v NameMedia Inc, et al, (5:09-cv-05151)(11-2558) 8th Cir

Google DOES NOT remove a site from the search index, just because google doesnt like it. Google removes a site only when its content has proven plagarized material, from another author. The offending website has the opportunity to resolve the problem, and then be reindexed into googles search results.
Websites which just suffer from poor content (and a few other reasonable factors) DONT get DEINDEXED, but their ratings and locations in the customers search results, suffer. This insures that the website author will fix their problems, or suffer the consequences. But The Author has the opportunity to fix the problem, and improve their locations in the customers search results.
Google would not deindex, or penalize a website, just because the content is against Google or googles policies.
Google goes to great extents to study and alter their indexing algorythym, so that freedom of speech isnt oppressed, except for plagarized content.

InternetCensorship OPPRESSES freedom and information

This draft will soon join SOPA as the “favorite hated” proposed statute.
Millions MORE will wonder why it was never already done.

More than 1000 characters…
USC 47 §232 proposed

Makes SOPA completely irrelevant and makes Internet wire communications as safe for children as TV.

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.
