So US congress to pass internet censorship law among other internet laws

[RegalSin]

So asides with Bush II signing bills to make electronic
transactions taxable ( that warning from paypal ). Many websites on the net will be blocked, in order to combat piracy :-".

My take on this.

By law anybody can in fact force a person legally not to use their artwork, on a persons website. I know for a fact Sorayama ( pin-up artist ), Artwork was uploaded, and he won a lawsuit against a website for displaying his work on a website.

This is okay by me, because I am an artist.

This new law, basically states if you do the above, instead of going threw a lawsuit the govement will just swoop in and block the website, or any other piracy website.

This is not okay by me, because this could mean anything at all. Usage of imagery, to a person singing a musical number, or usage of a song or image that is copyrighted.

.......................

Why are they doing this? Because for years

DVD + Cheap - VHS - VCR + Computer + DVD reader - region
+ cheap highspeed internet = no way to prevent a person from moving sound, image, or any kind of electronic stored data =
around = what they call piracy, and what is what you get for using
a crappy storage known as DVD.

In my area, streets that have miles of VHS, DVD, LD-rom, and Video
etc has turned into crime scenes. Hanging around in those places is not advised. Basically back in the 1990's the only reason people ever wented outside was to shop at Video stores. Going to video stores was one of the most greatest feats, and joys during those years.

Here's a motive:
"When the explosion in social networking helped topple 
repressive regimes last year, governments worldwide took 
notice, stepping up efforts to limit public Internet access."
-Discover Magazine, Jan. 2012  link


If you give people access to uncensored news they tend to get pissed off and change things.  Cops are now using high-powered flash lights with strobe effects to prevent their brutality against demonstrators from going viral.

Net Neutrality is going to be the defining issue of my lifetime.  The Internet is the best way that the oppressed can make a widespread social change.

Well, if that relatively attractive girl wants net neutrality, how could we deny her?

[thesteve]

the problem is there are some well established high dollar lobbyists that want the web dead as it makes their company's no longer relevant.

I don't see any picture.

Oh btw... SOPA was defeated.
