You don’t even have to know it’s pirated to watch something that is. Youtube already has some agreement with the music industry over music videos. Now what? Am I now suddenly privy to all the contractual agreements youtube has with contract providers? How am I supposed to know if what’s on sharing sites is legit?

We need to hammer home this point above all others.

For those who didn’t click it the code to censor your logo is here:

This is going to put innocent people who’ve been hacked, etc. in prison.  Did the prison industrial complex underwrite SOPA or what?

This will be great for prisons.  This way you can get higher quality, innocent people in prison who can perform better slave-labor than the non-violent drug addicts that are in prison now.

Somewhere, there’s a man with a chart explaining how this will improve the quality of their slave labor in their prisons.

If you don’t think corporatists are capable of this kind of evil, then you SERIOUSLY need to educate yourself RIGHT NOW:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QwX_soZ1GI

“Mass protests pose a threat to cleanliness and public safety. They put brave police officers at risk and divert them from fighting crime. I have therefore directed the Committee for Public Internet Safety to take the planning sites off-line. This is the safest way to manage the threat while preserving the right to free speech.  Individuals are free to talk face-to-face and to contact their elected representatives, but we cannot allow them to abuse the Internet.  Nor do they have a right to the private property of others: Facebook, PayPal and the domain registration system have every right to choose whom they do business with.  If copying a movie justifies taking down a web site, then attacking the economy of this great city by blocking streets surely does. If the protesters wish to organize online, they can apply for a permit to use the government free speech forum provided for that purpose.”

Right up until those things are not needed on the net and then they will be censored

The Teamsters??? WTF???
The rest of the usual suspects I expected. But, the Teamsters???
