What I first saw as an ordinary american "anti piracy movement" turned out to be the potential annihilation of...
*pause for dramatic effect*... internet as we know it today! And it won't just affect US citizens; THE ENTIRE WORLD! except China... Petition to stop it all! Spread the word! Stop American Censorship

Well if we've truly reached this point, then it's only a matter of time when another similar law passes if this one doesn't.
Violence doesn't really solve anything, but having all the corporate lobbyists and politicians shot would at least reduce the damage done for a short while, before the vermins would regroup again. |

You are truly the ultimate pessimist
![]() I have serious doubts that this will pass. I have yet to meet anyone who is for it or who has not signed that petition. Such a thing would have such a negative effect and change pop culture forever ![]() |

Perhaps I should move to China then.
![]() In all seriousness though, something like this was only just a matter of time. Especially with the likes of Anonymous and Wikileaks roaming freely across the internet.

Remember, the pirates can already bypass pretty much everything this bill tries to do, so it only gets in the way of the honest users. Technology is fun like that.

Yep, much like Digital Restrictions Management.
I've already shared this on facebook etc, but good idea to post it here. Remember, if this happens, it will ban sites like youtube or google and ToS for linking to them.

Signed and shared.
I doubt that it will pass, too, but stranger things have happened. It's important to remember that most of Congress is bought and paid for, and those who they *really* work for wish this to pass, as it will help stop resistance to corporate oligarchy. The internet is the last bastion of true freedom, and they will do anything to stop it.

anyone have a link for a petition I can sign, or for a way for me to vote in America. I'm 18, and damnit I want to use my right to vote!

Find your representative (I think that's the right terminology) and email them, tell them that you oppose it, there are various sites with points you can include in your email. Phone them too if you can and feel up to it.

If you are interested in it, the campaign is called "freedom not fear". One of the main initiates is the CCC, the german "chaos computer club". They do have a yearly conference in Berlin that deals to a large part with the increasing threat of dimishing freedom. I will write a review of the talks from this years conference, the 28c3 (28th chaos communication congress) when I have time and have seen the recordings of the talks that I missed. One of interest here might be: 28C3: The coming war on general computation (it is about why copyright laws are not the most important things to worry about - because there are bigger threats looming close ahead) and there are some good talks on TOR (e.g. 28C3: How governments have tried to block Tor) . Recordings are available on youtube but you can also find links to the recordings via Welcome - 28C3 public wiki Quote:
![]() No but really I do not think they would do that. They would not just shut down youtube or ToS or Facebook just like that. The power of such laws is not in a general assault, but in targetted assaults. So I would much more be worried about what they will make youtube do to allow them to keep online (a direct blocking interface for record companies? Oh I forgot they already have that) - or facebook (give us the stored data on this list of users and their friends please,... or else...). Now THAT would worry me a lot more because to the internetz it will all look normal, but in the background, something else is happening. Also of course I would be worried about this being invoked at certain incidents. We're all laughing at that: ![]() ... but this is what this law can provide. A way to take control over internet infrastructure (and as much as I hate it, facebook and youtube ARE information infrastructure) if the times are right. Like it was in Egypt when people decided that they maybe would prefer to have a democracy.
