Borrowed SOPA PIPA Rant.

How could this even be up for a vote?
Why isn't this on every front page of a newspaper!?
First the U.S. Supreme Court say corporations are people.
Now corporations can censor people...George Orwell is rolling over in his grave!

It's been almost two decades, The MPAA and RIAA still haven't figure out the Internet.

Piracy is a service problem. The way to defeat piracy is to provide a better service than the pirates.
Not take a shit on the First Amendment!
"Content creators have been losing billions to the piracy ever since the VCR"
You don't get to destroy the Internet because it doesn't fit your business model!
"Only going after rogue offshore sites."
Then why is the language so vague that anything could be copyright infringement?
Even wikipedia would be infringing.

All that it takes is a link in the user comments of your blog to something Viacom thinks they own and they whole site can get taken down without anyone even checking if its actually infringing.
How am I supposed to whine about a PSN outage when Sony claims that mentioning their trademark is illegal?
The only way you could contest one of these gangster seizures is going to court after you've already been shut down.
Is that what the Internet has come to?

I refuse to be shaken down for protection money just to keep my domain safe from the copyright cartel.
The economy is in the toilet.. and Congress want to cripple the only medium that's consistently creating jobs and growth.

It all comes down to money.
you need a thousand people pissed off just to balance out one dollar that a politician raises.

How are a bunch of people who don't even use the Internet regulating it?

Imagine this happened 15 years ago? there would be no google, facebook, twitter, youtube.

The Internet is lost. It was meant to be an open and free network for the exchange of knowledge and idea's. Now it will be censored to catch pirates who can already get round it.
