SOPA and PIPA - This is NOT a Joke!
« on: January 18, 2012, 02:46:35 AM »
Call your elected officials.
Tell them you are their constituent, and you oppose SOPA and PIPA.

Why?
SOPA and PIPA put the burden on website owners to police user-contributed material and call for the unnecessary blocking of entire sites. Small sites won't have sufficient resources to defend themselves. Big media companies may seek to cut off funding sources for their foreign competitors, even if copyright isn't being infringed. Foreign sites will be blacklisted, which means they won't show up in major search engines. SOPA and PIPA build a framework for future restrictions and suppression.

In a world in which politicians regulate the Internet based on the influence of big money, Wikipedia — and sites like it — cannot survive.

Congress says it's trying to protect the rights of copyright owners, but the "cure" that SOPA and PIPA represent is worse than the disease. SOPA and PIPA are not the answer: they will fatally damage the free and open Internet.

possibly not - but the content may be monitored and filtered to the point that would effectively shut down the very appeal that Getbig has to every mildly disturbed weight trained man on the Planet!

It is a joke- assuming that this law gets approved, where the hell will anyone find the human resources needed to regulate the web? Will your department of homeland security try to look into every link which infringes on copyright? Every link on the web?

This is like the millenium copyright law, something that gets voted in but can never be enforced even remotely adequately.
It's illegal to download copyrighted material off the web, be it films or music, yet pretty much everyone does it, because noone can stop them- the technology has long reached a point where monitoring such activities requires vast human resources.

Sure, one or two people got sued by the MPAA for downloading pop artist songs... and a few millions got a away with it ;)

One of my Senator's web forms is down but sent to who I could. There shouldn't even be names for stuff, it has to be knocked down.

Anyone who wants the web to remain as it is now needs to write or call. They will change this stuff without asking, don't assume it won't happen.

 Lamar Smith is the author of SOPA.

 His official campaign website uses as a background a picture that belongs to Dj Schulte .

 Looks like someone forgot To credit him.

 So... He is a copyright violator.

I am for these new regulations. The internet needs to be clamped down upon. I would also like to see web site operators be held liable for the content. The World Wide Web needs to be cleaned up and held accountable. I say Bully for SOPA and PIPA.

Give it time, the internet is slowly going to die because big corporations STOP progress.  They like things controlled so they can make a 10% return each year.  They don't like things out of their control.

The odds of stopping this now are slim.  It is rarely possible to stop something in the final hours.  To much momentum has been generated.  As usual the public is left completely unaware and won't know what happens until long after the damage is done.  I blame rap music and cheetos.
