CISPA = SOPA 2.0 The lowdown on what is coming down the pipes with CISPA

Guys, that video, has a lot of information about the details of CISPA.. it's worth a listen.

Colour me doing the happy dance! pinned! thank you!

This is information every one should at least hear.

I'm getting fecking tired of these scumbags !

It's gonna happen. One way or the other. Resistance is futile.

Build your low-tech community network now. Buy books on essential skills. Once the Internet is severely restricted you WILL need a way to find and work with like minded people and have access to info that is not net-connection dependent.

Do it now while the resource is there. It may not be there much longer.

i dont think there will be any way to block encrypted mesh vpn's will there? would they?

It doesn't look like there is any stopping them either.

AC...994, better get ready to be tread on! Unfortunately, it isn't going to matter whether we are sick and tired of this loss of privacy and rights.. it's already happening! and they will take as much of it away from us as they can.

yes they will get what they want. I look at the TSA as an example.

I like Turtles!

We did well in getting the other one annulled so maybe we should try as hard for this one as well . We need to bring as much publicity to this as possible . We need to organize and demonstrate ! Make phone calls to your senators again !

And in Canada, we love them:

Thank you for bringing this up!

Here you go...

I like the turtles, but they look like mutant penises

LOL... yes we do!

Thanks Caral B. I really appreciate you embedding this puppy.
Could you tell me what I did wrong?
I went to the original youtube of the video, hit share, copied the url, typed [youtube....pasted URL.../youtube]
That used to work for me...if memory serves me correctly.

here's an article about a 'resistance'!

as a web design/dev im not too happy about this bill.

also, you can research lawful TCP IP interception. the government has been monitoring for a long time.

I have already written my reps in DC twice about CISPA, and about SOPA so many times they are tired of hearing about it. I recommend everyone do the same. Write them often enough and they will actually give a personal answer. It may not be from your congressman or senator (I don't really know) but a real person in Washington reads it and responds to it. Sending an email is easy and only takes couple of minutes.

Please write them NOW! And do it often.

Hey, don't forget we made the internet what it is today. We can take it away as long as we all get together. Its really simple just everyone stop buying online and that will tell them who's the boss. One month of everyone getting off there ass and going to the store to buy what they want will send messages around the world.

Thanks for the link to that article.. for those of you wondering about the article.. here is the last paragraph snipped for you to see.

No where near 50% of the original article..for those checking.

A copy of the bill is available on the committee website, as is a Q&A about the legislation. It was approved by the panel in December by a vote of 17 to 1, but has not yet been considered by the full House or Senate.

Other groups participating in this week's protest include Access Now, American Library Association, Avaaz, Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest Clinic, Center for Democracy and Technology, The Constitution Project, Demand Progress, Fight for the Future, Free Press, OpenMedia.ca, Open the Government, Privacy Rights Clearinghouse, Reverse Robo Call, Sunlight Foundation, Techdirt, and TechFreedom.

Facist scumbags. I'm waiting for the day they create a "safe" intranet for everyone and kill the original all together.

I'm thinking if they do create another internet.. if they haven't already... they won't be inviting the average Joe and Jane in... they will keep it private. Safer that way.

LOL.. No it aint!

Seeing as you've got your gas mask on..
I'll put this smilie in.. just to get a smile.

if you don't break the law, you have nothing to worry about

AC..679.. we all hope you're right, but fear, they will use this to stop conversations, they don't like.. not just those that break the law..
It isn't against the law to disagree with TPTB is it? Yet?

Really ? It has nothing to do with that , it has to do with them taking control of the net and shutting sites down , site just like GLP .

Fixed .

they don't care about GLP and the like. they are trying to regulate the market in which there is a drag due to the intellectual rights being infringed upon. you wouldn't want asswipes sharing your shit on the internet when you're trying to get paid. because we have this drag in this market, it directly has an effect on our economy and jobs, because when people illegally obtain products instead of paying, companies lose millions of dollars that could be creating jobs, new technologies, and new industries.
