SOPA is baaack

Quote:

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith just announced that the SOPA markup is expected to continue next month.

I love politics, and I love campaigns more than you can imagine. So I love this SOPA thing because its created not only political unity among the grassroot folks, but they have threatened open war against the bills sponsors, speciafically Red State and its creator are going to primary the lead sponsor in (Tennesse?) and I presume, if she manages to beat this challenge, back the Democrat.

I'm psyched. I love a bloodbath.

I wish Facebook would do a day blackout, imagine the horror as millions of loony people feverishly try and tend to their virtual farms but find that they can't because of SOPA. Lamar Smith will rue the day he fucks with peoples FarmVille time.

SOPA not dead yet

And, we can't forget about PIPA too, the Senate's version that pretty much would go the same thing.

The following is a quote from another forum, but this is the stance of the owner of MB on SOPA:

Quote:

Please take a moment to research SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act). We believe that this proposed legislation would have a significant negative impact on this forum. A lot has been written about it, so I won't repeat all the arguments. The following link provides information about how to take action and contact your representatives: https://action.eff.org/o/9042/p/dia/...ction_KEY=8173.

The sad day when SOPA get's passed is when I completely lose any sort of hope for the government. When greedy corporations have the ability to pass bills with their influence (money) and millions of people don't have a say. It frustrates me, it really does.

Already contacted my representative. Hopefully other people near me did too, but as of right now, that's somewhat of a difference than we can try to make.

Google have taken action to protest against it. Hopefully the ignorant politicians supporting it might realise that the biggest internet-based company in the whole ****ing world going against the bill might mean that they don't know what they're talking about.

Ignorant politicians think of nothing, but themselves, hence the word "ignorant".
