The day LOLCats died. SOPA will end the internet as we know it.
Yesterday, January 17th 2012 I locked my site down, because I felt part of the community of internet users, and more specific bloggers, writers and other free minds. I have locked the site down on January 17th 2012, 18:00PM CET (Central European Time).
I'll keep the specific blocking page in the archives - published, as a reminder. I have a strong feeling this was only a prelude to things to come.
The internet has grown to a playground of free - thinkers, a force to be reckoned with by governments. As in any community there are people that play by the rules and some that don't. I am not suggesting I never done anything wrong on the internet, like borrowing a picture or downloaded a program of which I should or could have known it was not a legal copy.
The truth - and main reason - for acts like PIPS and SOPA are threats of cyber wars from 'abroad', wherever that may be. A cyberwar can be fought and won by relative small countries. Internet- and computer knowledge is for hire. Investments are small, and there's no nuclear fall-out. Just putting in my 2 cents worth.

Unhappy SOPA'ing

I shared the link to the song on Facebook...it's all total crap...not amused.
ReplyDeleteSOPA / PIPA act is a serious matter. Just showing my support here. I believe passing the act(s) will not only affect America (if and when it does), but spread to Europe where I live.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the input. It might help people to think about what could happen when measures like these - SOPA / PIPA would become reality. Freedom of speech is a right. Like here on this little blog of mine.
I watched the beginning of the parody, I think humor is revolutionary and , but I don't have time now. I'll be back later
ReplyDeleteI don't think that SOPA, funny cause it is "soup" in Portuguese, will ever pass cause many companies of Fortuna 500 have already manifested against it.
Sure, I fear how they will censor us if they are not already doing it in those sophisticated methods they have.
