Stop SOPA

A rehash on the last post, this bill will change the way the internet functions and Congress is so far in bed with Lobbyists and Boosters that it doesn't matter what is good for anyone other than their campaign contributions. Most of the sponsors do not understand how the internet works and the primary sponsor probably can't comprehend the engineering or how to wire his computer to a wall... but still feel they can stifle innovation

Wikipedia is going blank, support them and everyone else who goes blank in protest, remember that GoDaddy supported the Bill and needs to be run out of business as does hollywood and anyone else voicing their support and money. This is America, stand up and make your voice heard...and vote out anyone who has voiced support...we're looking at you Texas(Lamar Smith) for electing the Congressman who wrote this POS and Harry Reid of Nevada for PIPA. So support wikipedia, support lolcats, reddit, Google, Yahoo for leaving the Chamber of Commerce and the other 7,000 websites that are going to shut down, and shun those that stay open. For a protest to work everyone needs to participate, and those that don't should be punished by losing money and most importantly change our government.


Great writeup of what isn't getting done while this highly technical, probably unconstitutional and business crushing bill

Just remember the first line of SOPA is basically a lie, 'To promote prosperity, creativity, entrepreneurship, and innovation by combating the theft of U.S. property, and for other purposes.' and instead should read, 'To support the outdated, cartel based, monopolistic tendencies of the RIAA, MPAA and other industries that have continuously stifled innovation...That's who this bill is for, not the American People, not the average Joe, not the entrepreneur, but for special interests n Hollywood and the music industry.
