Re: protesting SOPA

Obama already promised to veto SOPA, so no worries.

He also said he promised to veto the NDAA bill . . . yeah, that didn't work out so well, did it? However, why would Obama sign a bill that would effectively destroy the tools that, in a way, helped him become president in the first place? I agree that SOPA and PIPA are way too dangerous to be passed in their current forms; it turns us users into criminals.

PROTECT IP / SOPA Breaks The Internet

PROTECT IP / SOPA Breaks The Internet

Tell Congress not to censor the internet NOW! - fightforthefuture.org/pipa

PROTECT-IP is a bill that has been introduced in the Senate and the House and is moving quickly through Congress. It gives the government and corporations the ability to censor the net, in the name of protecting "creativity". The law would let the government or corporations censor entire sites-- they just have to convince a judge that the site is "dedicated to copyright infringement."

The government has already wrongly shut down sites without any recourse to the site owner. Under this bill, sharing a video with anything copyrighted in it, or what sites like Youtube and Twitter do, would be considered illegal behavior according to this bill.

According to the Congressional Budget Office, this bill would cost us $47 million tax dollars a year — that's for a fix that won't work, disrupts the internet, stifles innovation, shuts out diverse voices, and censors the internet. This bill is bad for creativity and does not protect your rights. Go Watch this Video Right Now.

God I have no idea how to even do this question justice. It'd require essays. There are many reasons why "we let them stay that way." IMO it ultimately boils down to lack of power, money, education, and mobility (plus a ton of money being pushed against your favor in all four of these categories).

I don't see any difficulty in believing Obama here, since he'd be taking a firm stance against the least popular piece of legislation put forth during his term. You can absolutely bet your testicles that he'd veto the shitsucker, especially with re-election coming up.

Re: protesting SOPA

It'll still be mad-depressing if it passes the House/Senate. Money talks. :/

Reminds me of when Obama said he would veto the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) Bill, then he retracted his veto, and signed the bill. Hmm.

EDIT: Woops, someone already ninja'd me.
