SOPA Act

In some related but also a bit unrelated news, Mexico and several other latin-american countries have officially showed their own SOPA bills during this past week. I have to admit it was faster than I had expected. US, stop the SOPA bill so that we don't need to pass through this all over again. Thanks.

Havent seen signs of it here in Venezuela, but that crazy bastard we have for president may start something similar anytime.

Remember Chavez is against everything the United States do, so maybe he makes piracy legal or something like that

I'm more of the opinion that congressman Smith is more likely to be a "well-minded" idiot than evil political mastermind.

I've never thought of Smith as the one behind SOPA.

It also makes me wonder why Eos didn't do anything for SOPA. I'm assuming we get some good traffic, it would have been nice to inform those that didn't know.

4.5 million people apparently signed the online petition that google had up.

Petitions would have greater significance if the signers laid it out in clear terms that they would vote for or against their state's representatives based on their approach towards SOPA.

I found this comic on reddit about how /a/ said it would be like if SOPA passes. I thought it was an interesting comic. It reads right-left.

Wow, that actually pretty well done.

''See you space cowboys. Bang.''

I started clapping after reading that.

This... is...

Obama doesn't veto it because he's approves of this, he's hates the internet...Obama is similar to Santorum about public life and such. They're both lunatics.

Holy pomegranate you're a Ron Paul fan and you're calling... well... ANYONE else a lunatic?

[In protest of SOPA, I'm currently getting totally blacked out.]

Not much of a joke, but I still laughed a bit because of the irony.

Damn Cowboy Bebop references, they always get me.

The protests are already making effect:

First, Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, a rising Republican star, took to Facebook, one of the vehicles for promoting opposition, to renounce a bill he had co-sponsored. Senator John Cornyn of Texas, who leads the G.O.P.’s Senate campaign efforts, used Facebook to urge his colleagues to slow the bill down. Senator Jim DeMint, Republican of South Carolina and a Tea Party favorite, announced his opposition on Twitter, which was already boiling over with anti-#SOPA and #PIPA fever.

Then trickle turned to flood — adding Senators Mark Kirk of Illinois and Roy Blunt of Missouri, and Representatives Lee Terry of Nebraska and Ben Quayle of Arizona. At least 10 senators and nearly twice that many House members announced their opposition.

“Thanks for all the calls, e-mails, and tweets. I will be opposing #SOPA and #PIPA,” Senator Jeff Merkley, Democrat of Oregon, wrote in a Twitter message. Late Wednesday, Senator Charles E. Grassley of Iowa, the senior Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, withdrew his support for a bill he helped write.

The existing bill “needs more due diligence, analysis and substantial changes,” he said in a statement.
