SOPA
Corporate supporters of HR3261 (SOPA) and S968 (PIPA) demand the ability to
take down any web site that affects their profits -- without due process or
judicial oversight -- in the name of combating "online piracy." Hoping you
won't notice or care, quite a few of our Public Servants want to give them
that right.
Believe it or not, Monster Cable (remember "Monster Park"?) considers
craigslist a "rogue site" for blacklisting and takedown under PIPA -
apparently 2nd hand sales of stereo cables by CL users is reducing Monster's
sales of new cables. (reddit).
SOPA/PIPA authors and supporters insist they're only after foreign piracy
sites, but Internet Engineers understand this is an attempt to impose "Big
Brother" control over our Internet, complete with DNS hijacking and
censoring search results.
What could be more anti-American than jack-booted thugs throttling our
free speech, poisoning that greatest of American inventions, the Internet,
while devastating perhaps our most successful and competitive industry?
There's got to be a better way to sell more stereo cables.

SOPA and PIPA Are Too Dangerous To Revise, They Must Be Killed Entirely
Congress needs to hear from you, or these dangerous bills will pass - they
have tremendous lobbying dollars behind them, from corporations experts say
are attempting to prop up outdated, anti-consumer business models at the
expense of the very fabric of the Internet -- recklessly unleashing a
tsunami of take-down notices and litigation, and a Pandora's jar of "
chilling effects" and other unintended (or perhaps intended?) consequences.
There is still time to be heard. Congress is starting to backpedal on this
job-killing, anti-American nonsense, and the Obama administration has
weighed in against these bills as drafted, but SOPA/PIPA cannot be fixed or
revised -- they must be killed altogether.
Sen Darrell Issa (R-CA) and Rep Ron Wyden (D-OR) are championing an
alternative to SOPA/PIPA called Online Protection and Enforcement of Digital
Trade Act (OPEN) that addresses foreign sites dedicated to piracy, without
disrupting basic Internet protocols, or threatening mainstream US sites like
craigslist.
Tim O'Reilly, a publisher who is himself subject to piracy, asks whether
piracy is even a problem, and whether there is even a legitimate need for
any of these bills.
