Best description of the origins and evils of SOPA and PIPA I have seen.

Link by way of Global Guerrillas.
Here's John Robb's take -- "The Copyright Cartel's Enforcers: The FBI."

What ? They think we are deaf? Blind? This whole thing can be summed up in one line..."In order to complete their Corporate Fascist agenda,they must stop the free exchange of information".

I say let 'em pass it. Amerikans won't give a sh*t about ever-encroaching government tyranny until it costs THEM something that they can actually feel. There's an old saying, "If you can't think, you got to feel".

Until Amerikans can't access their beloved "Facebook" page, they won't get up off the couch.

While I'd hate to lose the source of information the internet provides....maybe, just maybe the old saying that "idle hands are the devil's plaything" will apply and people will get up off their collectivist asses to throw off the shackles of this corrupt government.

Nah....probably not. Instead, we'll all settle in for another NFL/NBA/MLB playoff/championship series and play fiddle while Rome burns.

God, we're a bunch of stupid f***s. We deserve every bit of what's coming.

Someone made it clear to the politicians that they wouldn't be able to include stuff in their campaign spots without permission from the copyright holder. Do you really think Newt would allow Mitt to include his material in one of Mitt's attack adds? Or vice versa?

If you think for a minute that Pat "Leaky" Leahy pulled PIPA because Wikipedia shut down or because he saw the error of his ways you're in a world of hurt.

The regressives accuse the right of being Fascist, without knowing what Fascism really is.

Fascism is a form of collectivism, where the means of production are privately owned by politically involved individuals who service (donations, kickbacks, etc) the state in return for everything from no-bid contracts to free money from the taxpayer to special protections.

Cartels such as Hollywood, the RIAA music empire, the General Motors Consortium and banking cartel between the Federal Reserve, Goldman Sachs, MF Global, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mach are all beneficial to the government, because it allows them to control indirectly the distribution of wealth, as well as goods and services. Communism by other means.

Censorship is a must for any self-respecting collectivist government, and countless blogs and news aggregators will be shut down by SOPA and PIPA using copyright as the pretext.

to 9:08, America has woken in up more in the last few years than in the prior decades.

Its as always a slow process but as my Mama used to say "The wheels of justice grind slowly but they do grind"
