Stop Online Piracy Act (sopa) bill is in route to be passed or dismissed. This bill will allow companies to make claim that another company’s website has items on their site that infringes their copyright. In turn, the accused site is required to remove said items, and the time frame to do so, is not much at all. Also to be shoved through at the same time is the bill for Net neutrality’s debate.
People are calling this a Censorship sweep. Internet communism, the beginning of NWO.
There are hacker groups talking about going on a huge hissy fit in the real world, while others are already digging up personal information of the people backing the bill. They want to see how they are connected to other events going on, and how involved they are in this passing of confinement laws.
If that is the case, I think I would quit working for those companies, or lead a group going on strike, just to prove I am not worth ruining the life of.
I myself am on a rickity fence. I see what some are trying to pass this sopa bill for, but I also see that the backers of the Sopa are near sited and not looking at the big picture of what the full potential outcome will be. They just see “ok good stuff for me, must mean success” but the end is one more confining scam that will silence people who need to speak.
I myself run a couple review sites. This one in fact. If I write about a company that seems to be doing people wrong, I should have legal open rights to warn others of what I had happen to , and let them test it out and see if it happens to them also. but by mentioning said company’s name I have stepped on their copyright and could face time in prison if the issue does not get resolved in a short time.
I know you are thinking that it should be slander, libel and many other regular laws. but you are missing out on YOUR side as the consumer. You are being a defeatist and saying that a company should have more rights than you. A company should be allowed to sell you items that are known to break easily, at a price that is regular with it’s competitors who might be of better quality.
We deserve the right to speak.
SOPA is a scam and will lead you into a consumer concentration camp of “tell me what I can enjoy next” maybe you are too near sited to see your lifetime that way. and probably don’t care for your children’s future. But someone needs to.
