only me that think this is sick?

[Pangilinan 1st MRB]

Knew this kind of thing awhile back. I think a similar measure was being thought of earlier in the year. It got the conservative blogs here in the US all riled up. I need to look more into this new one to see if it's the old one in a new name or something else.

This site has a whole bunch of stuff on the Protect IP and SOPA acts, you may not always agree with the columnists/writers/bloggers but the info is sound.

BTW, don't trust anything posted in the comments by a guy named out_of_the_blue, he has some serious issues with facts.

There is a reason why conservatives tend to view this as a greater issue. We fear being censored, and if establishment Dems or Reps get this passed, how will we be able to get our voices heard. It's not just piracy or whatnot, but it opens the precedence of online censorship. This is a partisan-less issue, and one that threatens anyone who has a view outside the established norms.

Either it won't pass or somewhere along the line it will get struck down as unconstitutional. I mean, you're going to try and sue Google for not censoring their search results? I pity the fool.

[Pangilinan 1st MRB]

You would be surprised. And how long down the line until it gets struck down? It needs to die before it hits voting.

Its not just a conservative view.

All i can think that if this passes in the United States this country will note WILL be overthrown.

People would lose all loyalty for the government and overthrow the government.

There would be no need for bi-partisanship if passes because EVERYONE will join a single group just to get the internet back

[Pangilinan 1st MRB]

Its not just a conservative view.

I didn't really say it was. I said we see it as a more pressing issue and picked up on net neutrality/censorship quickly.

[Dawson 1st MRB]

One of these kinds of bills comes down the pipeline every so often. I haven't seen one get passed yet, so I'm not too worried.

[Pangilinan 1st MRB]

Last I understand it, there is also an international copyright agreement/treaty/etc.. in the works. It has met the past couple of years and aims to do the same what project ip is trying to do. Except it's all closed door non-transparent, take it up the ass kind of deal. I need to hunt down the post that explained it but I'm unsure which blog I follow released the details.

[Takel 1st MRB]

ACTA?

[Pangilinan 1st MRB]

Redstate's article on Project IP and a host of internet related issues.

[Gooderham 1st MRB]

I didn't really say it was. I said we see it as a more pressing issue and picked up on net neutrality/censorship quickly.

I meant that everyone, regardless of political affiliation views it as a threat. Liberals are just as fearful of censorship as anyone else.

The Internet Is For Freedom of the Day: One of the more inspired maneuvers used by anti-SOPA lawmakers to try and stymie their near-invincible opponents during yesterday’s House Judiciary Committee hearing was attempted by Rep. Jared Polis (D-CO), who introduced an amendment excluding “pornography” from SOPA’s protection [pdf].

The genius of it was that the bill’s supporters, particularly its conservative author Rep. Lamar Smith, would likely want to avoid voting in favor of a bill that has the best interests of the adult film industry at heart.

Additionally, determining what constituted “pornography” would undoubtedly leave many entertainment industry properties such as rap songs and certain mainstream films vulnerable to exclusion — something the bigwigs behind SOPA would not particularly care for.

Though the effort was short-lived — the amendment was ultimately defeated by pro-SOPA politicians — it did manage to accomplish two important feats.

It contributed to the derailment of the hearing, which in turn led to the clock running out, forcing the postponement of the debate indefinitely (alert: word is that the markup might start up again next Wednesday)

Perhaps more importantly, however, it accomplished something heretofore thought impossible: The insertion of the lyrics to Avenue Q’s Internet-famous number “The Internet is for Porn” (below) into the official congressional hearing record.

did it pass?

[Dawson 1st MRB]

Na, Just in case.

[Takel 1st MRB]

The Anti-Counterfieting Trade Agreement (ACTA) has been passed without debate into discussion in european parliament by the EU council. They got it through by sticking it on the tail-end of an agriculture and fishery meeting.

I just hope for all our sakes that they don't pull a fast one up you guys' way and push SOPA/Protect IP through on christmas day while everyone's out

[Yamagata 1st MRB]

[Dawson 1st MRB]
