Wed Jan 18, 2012 12:59 pm Post subject: Strike against SOPA and PIPA, please get involved
The government (as usual) is trying to slowly take away our freedoms, this time the target is the internet. Please go here to sign the letter to Congress http://www.sopastrike.com/strike/ , even foreigners can get involved.
There is more on the website about the legislation, so if you aren't familiar with it, just check it out, no reason for me to go into it here. _________________ Not dead, just sleeping.

I've been involved for quite some time already. Idiocy in all forms should stop once and for all, and the hollywood dumd-asses should finally understand that marketing efforts that worked in the '60 are not applicable, nor profitable nowadays. Pushing someone's buttons usually leads to a punch in the face, which sopa will receive anyway.
N.B. PIPA is just a smoke screen - for $10 you can buy all the anonymity available. This is a retarded attempt to catch a regular housewife listening to 2 Britney Spears songs and use this as leverage towards the regular buyer in any country. More scare-factor than anything else. _________________ On the stones that we walk, and choose to make our paths,

What makes you all think that once SOPA and PIPA gets trashed that they arent gonna make up another bill of the same thing but tweaked? What makes you think that they arent gonna drag this out until the very end?
Rich people want their money. These bills make them money they are gonna fight and fight till the very end. This isnt gonna be the last of it. Dontforget to vote on google, wiki and other sites. And call your local congressman...

They will but it will fail, if there is any shred of hope this will get put down forever, if not this can start major issues _________________ - Does this hurt ? -

If it passes, I'd be more worried about what Anonymous would do rather than the Government and media corporations. _________________ ヽヽ༼༼ຈຈل͜ل͜ຈຈ༽༽ﾉﾉ TURN DOWN THAT MUSIC IT'S SHAKING MY HOUSE

This is true, because they don't care who they go after.
