Sigma957 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Thousands of websites are now rallied against SOPA and PIPA. Websites widely used. Especially google and wikipedia. While I wish they had literally gone offline for 24 hours to show a future world with censorship I guess blacking out their name will do. Imagine though, if google went down and you had to manually type in a website address. That in itself is a dying art. Started dying the day Lycos starting making it easy to just type a name in a search box. https://www.google.com/landing/takeaction/ http://en.wikipedia.org/w...PA_initiative/Learn_more http://www.firefallthegam...link-dont-give-up.16232/ http://youranonnews.tumbl...ls-summary-and-bill-text http://www.craigslist.org/about/SOPA You seeing this Paul McGuinness?

xtraspicy62 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 thanks for the information sigma.... this is a very huge deal. the lack of posts is interesting....I hope people will check this out. perhaps people arent aware of this issue. but it has the potential to shut down this website, or at the very least, this community.

Sigma957 Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 If you think this is scary, have I got something to show you. http://www.govtrack.us/co.../vote.xpd?vote=s2011-218 http://www.govtrack.us/co.../bill.xpd?bill=s112-1867 SOPA/PIPA is just a screen for this to be implemented. And this: http://www.aimglobal.org/...es/RFID/what_is_rfid.asp http://alternativenewsrep...11/03/29/rfid-evil-laws/ It's been on FOX News and NBC but hardly anyone paid attention.

Subscriber mdmomof7 Posted January 19, 2012 Subscriber Share Posted January 19, 2012 I'm all for the creator of intellectual property getting their fair share, but this seems like an out and out censorship under the guise of a worthy thing, protecting the artist. We Americans continually let our government take our rights. Wake up, people!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigma957 Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 Have you read the 112th Congress bill S.1867? 926 pages. 7 voted against it, 93 for it. Only 7 of them read it. This is the start of civil war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
