so... NOBODY wants to talk about SOPA or PIPA?

yea this stuff is all over on all the websites today its crazy...my google account wont let me log in its been reallly slow...and once again there the freedoom of speach:(

As far as I'm concerned, the internet is public property and its size is so vast that it would take enormous manpower, cost, and resources to manage. It might grab headlines in the short-term, but I think down the road, people will always find ways to circumvent the system, or some smart entrepreneur develops a new form of streaming that's free and 100% legal, rendering the law pointless. iTunes did exactly that with the music industry, at a time when Napster, Kazaa, and file-sharing were gaining momentum. I think people are losing context here, they're freaking out like it's the end of the internet, but it's very unlikely that anything substantial is going to happen with this law, if it even gets passed.

well i assume the same way china does it. IP blocks i assume? it's censoring isn't it? but also it's the idea that the people in power are in support of this, not just the law itself, it's also what it represents in terms of who runs this and why they're saying this is a good idea? not that it really means anything but its always scary. isn't the usa also threatening trade sanctions to countries who refuse to put up similar laws in their country as well? that's what makes it just as horrifying.

why is the governments blocking so many things like my email today on google...its so slow and keeps locking me out..how am I suppose to talk to certain guy I meet on here? I likes him alot and this is driving my crazy..why they wanna read the how much I miss you and love you emails on my account:o they can but it would nice if they can let me email friends and family today and not when Im dustXD lol

Mobile providers have profit margins as high as 30%-40%. I think limiting what we can and can't do on the internet is a slippery slope to take'th away. Barring any radical events, things tend to be taken away. Not given back. It goes against the ideals that the US has been fighting for both a short time and a long time ago (revolutionary war). Is it palatable to have a ruling organization that decides what is and what isn't appropriate for us to see?

China's Great Firewall is one out of security and control. Our own version of that (from this bill) is based around the self-centered interests of those in the entertainment industry. That's so odd...

umm.. selaka it's not the govt doing that right now... the act hasn't taken place yet but many websites have been boycotting the bill by limiting their services.. if the internet is slow at all today it has nothing to do with the bill lol

actually when I tried getting on my ususal websites I get on they are all protesting so I cant get on anything today except here:0...... this sucks I hope its not like this all weekXD or someone is gonna go bannas lol
