--Remember what the internet was like before SOPA??-- good vid

I cant get the video to embed. Every now and then i have this problem, can somebody else try to embed

Nice video.
Sopa is a terrible thing and it needs to be stopped.
It could be used to shut down anything on the web that the government says it wants shut down even GLP.
All they would have to do is have an operative post some copyrighted material and they could pull the plug on the whole site. This is Serious!!!
It could very well be the end of the internet as a medium for free speech.

Can anyone get this video to embed

no dice.. i tried too but it won't embed.

You have to have the straight link, not the embed link to put it up, if your link says "player_embeded" it doesn't work! Go straight to the video next time.

My computer illiterate ass understands now. Thanks for the tip

video is properly embedded now, ha

Bump to stop SOPA

Thread: SOPA can ban ya!

Gave you five stars OP, didn't see your link first too.

catchy tune helps people remember

government has had the ability (just not the legal cover) to shut down any page or site on web since it was created.

no kidding SOPA in greek meens shut up! lol that's hybris against the democracy!

say no to net neutrality! net neutrality is just a move to take free internet away from us!

I find myself unsure why people are so against this...

Because it strips the rights of normal citizens and gives what the everyday citizen had and gives imbalance even more to the corporations or their personhood. Which they are not even a person, this is just what they do. Make way for the devil by making a bunch of rules and legalities like the old pharisees when really it is unethical and unLAWful. (even though they make it legal)

i remember the internet back when you could memorize the names of all the sites lol. i remember before the internet too. some of the best memories of my life....going outside

^^^!

How is it that legislation such as SOPA can give the USG the right to take down any website, yet it takes months if not years (if ever) to shut down sites that actually do need shutting down i.e. child pornography etc.

The same reason the world gets worse when the majority of the occupants in it wish for it to get better.

“Just look at us. Everything is backwards, everything is upside down. Doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy justice, psychiatrists destroy minds, scientists destroy truth, major media destroys information, religions destroy spirituality and governments destroy freedom.”
&#8213; Michael Ellner

When one realizes how backwards the world authority is, they start to unlock the sublime communication...like No (elite) child left behind. We want peace, but give war...doublespeak...say one thing, do the very opposite. Easy to spot IF looking and most aren't.

This is a great track. I must admit. But, I have to question the thought. I mean, if it weren't free, then why is he able to put this out?

They really don't care that much. Because they know that if push comes to shove, bring it. That's how it ALWAYS has been.

Haven't we stayed stayed awake during history?

Outside of FACT and FICTION. What we KNOW is true, is human nature. It doesn't matter if someone twisted truth into lies, because it casts a reflection and both sides rally in opposition. This is an immortal principal that will NEVER change.

The internet is mainly a platform for the sharing of pornographic material and for pseudo educated hipsters like the ones responsible for the above featured video to attempt to demonstrate their imagined intellectual prowess.

Where on earth did liberal crybabies get the ridiculous idea that free expression is a prime necessity of the human species. It is a luxury that is in the process of becoming obsolete. It's impossible to survive without adequate supply of nutrition, but you can survive without being licensed to spout your uninformed, baseless opinions out to the world. Goddamn humanists...

No! Kill the corrupted US, NOW!

What the fuck is;

"conection terminated by the remotesite"

It's getting really fucking old.

need not say more after the old BBS days everything
you do on the web is loged some where and they can
tell who you are with out you saying your name
and now with what google as bin doing with android
then can find out where you live and what wifi you
get on and when you us them and where they are.
so as for shutting down sites all they need to do
is remove it from the DNS who can remember IP's?
