SOPA - Stop Online Piracy Act

It's inevitable that legislation like this will be passed unless something seriously changes within the entertainment industry.

Or if Google, Facebook, Wiki, and Microsoft get out the big guns.

Have you read Google's new privacy policy??

If you’re signed into Google, we can do things like suggest search queries – or tailor your search results – based on the interests you’ve expressed in Google+, Gmail, and YouTube

lol

I know. Facebook is also a major offender in terms of privacy.

However, the issue is not privacy. The issue is copyright law and how politicians are using it to extend their power over the Internet.

I've been telling people that this shit will go down for like 6 years, most nerdie birdies thought the internet would forever reign in freedom, crackaz love to live in denial I guess

woteva im behind like, 7 proxies

The fight over CISPA isn't over yet, but it's time to get away from online US services I guess.

The EU equivalent of SOPA looks to be dead or at least postponed for the time being. Which is nice.

This shit is going to happen only if we let it happen.

With that mentality we might as well bend over and let the Government fuck us in the ass 24/7.
