SOPA IS BACK!!! (But Worse) Renamed CISPA - House Vote in 2 Weeks
 

And since I know all you dumb imbeciles will say this, I just have to pre-empt your idiocy... All you mouth breathing douchebags that think this will help you fight piracy on your sites and will magically restore your sales to circa 2000 levels are fucking kidding yourselves. Like the Feds really give a shit about helping a bunch of degenerate, sleazy porn merchants like you fucktards. Give me a fucking break dipshits. BTW, I am a content producer too morons-

Draconian cyber security bill could lead to Internet surveillance and censorship


Reporters Without Borders is deeply concerned with the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act of 2011 (CISPA), the cyber security bill now before the US Congress.

In the name of the war on cyber crime, it would allow the government and private companies to deploy draconian measures to monitor, even censor, the Web. It might even be used to close down sites that publish classified files or information.

?Freedom of expression and the protection of online privacy are increasingly under threat in countries with a democratic reputation, where a series of bills and draft laws is sacrificing them in the interests of national security or copyright,? Reports Without Borders said.

?A blanket monitoring system is never an appropriate solution, nor is blocking or censoring websites that disclose information that is classified but of public interest. Reporters Without Borders opposes CISPA and ask Congress to reject this legislation.

?The organization recently highlighted Britain?s Orwellian bill, and France?s aspirations to make visiting websites that advocate terrorism or violence a crime. ?

CISPA is aimed at promoting the exchange of information between the authorities and the private sector to facilitate the detection of, and the fight against, cyber crime. However, it would allow the US government and private companies ? service and technical providers ? to install systems to monitor communications, or even close down or block access to websites.

The bill would allow companies protecting themselves ?to use cyber security systems to identify and obtain cyber threat information?. Such vaguely defined systems could also mean monitoring, blocking or filtering systems.

The definition of potential threats is even broader. It targets ??efforts to degrade, disrupt, or destroy? a system or network, the ?theft or misappropriation of private or government information, intellectual property, or personally identifiable information?.

Websites that publish classified information, from the New York Times to WikiLeaks, could fall within the scope of the legislation, according to the US digital rights organizationElectronic Frontier Foundation.

Collecting and sharing information arouses major concerns over the protection of privacy and personal information. CISPA would provide a way of circumventing existing privacy legislation.

Questioned about the bill, a spokesman for the Center for Democracy and Technology ? a non-profit group that campaigns for Internet freedom ? told Reporters Without Borders: "CISPA, in its current form, is alarmingly broad in scope. Companies should only be permitted to share narrow categories of information with the government that precisely describe a real cyber security threat. Information-sharing should be about increasing Internet users? security, not government surveillance."

The bipartisan bill was introduced on 30 November by two members of the House of Representatives, Republican Mike Rogers and C.A. ?Dutch? Ruppersberger, a Democrat, as an amendment for the 1947 National Security Act, and received the approval of the House Intelligence Committee the following day.

The next stage is a vote in the full House. At the end of March, Rogers announced he had garnered support for the bill from more than 100 members of Congress, Democrats as well as Republicans.

Two previous bills, the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect Intellectual Property Act (PIPA), aimed at protecting intellectual property on the Web, were resisted by Silicon Valley but key Web players such as Facebook, Microsoft, IBM and AT&T have announced their support for CISPA.

Its really only time till this gets put into law, they will just break up various parts of it and slip it in all over.

Just like the law that killed poker sites. Seriously what does poker have to do with anything about the port authority which law it got slipped into.

haha, so in a little over 200 years we have gone from "give me liberty or give me death" to pathetic capitulators such as yourself who say "fuck it, let me bend over for you sir while you fuck me in the ass". Eloquent. To be sure I would never buy hosting from you as you would definitely be one of those candy asses who would roll over on all your clients in a second for sure. I am not even saying I fundamentally disagree with you in essence, but thats a pretty fatalistic and pussyish attitude to take LOL

OMG!!!
Humanity is doomed!

:2 cents::2 cents:

What are you talking about? He was clearly making a point about how they will eventually play dirty and hide what they want into other bills. He never said he was rolling over and taking it in the ass. :eek7

Now you won't buy hosting from him and insult him? lol wtf....

I said I did not disagree with his premise, only the fatalistic sense of accepting the inevitable which he seemed to convey. BTW, you have some shit on your hands on your avatar, go wash up.

Yes, I am an asshole. Deal with it or fuck off, either way, not my problem LOL

Well, I am not suprised you are unconcerned. Latin America is the USA's bitch so you fuckers have no freedom to speak of anyway. Your President cant take a shit without Obama's permission, but people in the States are kinda attached to freedom so maybe it's a bigger deal in the US than down there.

What happened, did your idol force you to change your avatar since he did not want to be assiciated with you or something?

It's like Jason Vorhees, hard to kill.

Next up, CDA III. Clinton is going to get that passed before she leaves Washington. Hope for change!

For the other point of view, here is Microsoft's letter supporting CISPA

So I guess they are just going to keep trying and trying. But whats the difference between this and what the patriot act already allows?

obama rama, heh.

The time to get your panties into a bunch was when the Patriot Act got passed. That's when American'e lost their freedom. This is just the internet.

.

And the real reason surfaces. Nothing wrong with taking a political stance based on your personal economics.

edit; and you are correct I didn't do enough belief wise when the Patriot Act was passed.

.

Crazy much?

fuck congress

Sorry, nothing i can do against THAT level of ignorance...

</thread>

No one seemed to give a shit about that. But take away their free porn and music and IT'S ON! :1orglaugh

People get the government they deserve. They should have been rioting in the streets over the Patriot Act but no one cared. Now it's only a matter of time before they control the internet. And the people have no one to blame but themselves when it happens. They voted these idiots in and continue to vote for idiots just like the last ones. Then when something goes horribly wrong, they roll over and take it in the ass. The bailouts were a prime example of just how much ass fucking Americans will take. Next round of bailouts will be exactly the same.

Then you have the people in the Middle East, they get shit done. It was bloody and it's still not sorted out, but the people spoke. They violently kicked their leaders out. THAT is what needs to be happening right now in the USA. But until American Idol and Facebook takes a back seat to their children's future, it will never happen.

DWB,
don't forget that in 1776 only minority actually supported the idea of independence.

Good points but a few things.

If you start talking about hurting the president or blowing something up in more than in passing. You will get a knock on your door even without this law.

Hackers, pirates , etc have all been in your face and laughing in the face of laws. It was just a matter of time before there was going to be a crack down.

The riots in the middle east is because those people didnt have shit. As much as people bitch here from their iphones, 80 percent of this country still lives a pretty good life. People dont revolt if they got something to lose.
Also the grass always looks greener. You never know the government you are going to get once government is over thrown.
I worked with a guy at GM, his father and 7 brothers all worked there also. His father and uncles were revolutionaries that helped Castro get into a power. Once it happened and it wasnt all roses as they had hoped , there was a big oh shit moment. When Castro started throwing their friends in jail, so they hauled ass out of the country. So you never know what you will get and if it will be better.

You really are an idiot aren't you? We stand up for our clients, go a head and ask eric from remove your content and how much resistance we give him when he doesn't follow the DMCA law correctly and sends DMCA's that are "too broad" of a request. We work closely with our lawyers, many of which have met him in person and is a well known lawyer in this industry, Marc Randazza. We follow the law and don't tolerate bullshit requests, everything we send to our clients is a validated legit request validated by marc and his team.

My point is they will weasel parts of various acts into other laws that have nothing to do with it.

Grow up, so you won't buy hosting from us. I'm so hurt. All the people we host would say otherwise.

All valid points.

They will continue to push these bills until one of them passes.

With freedom comes responsibility. If more people actually cared about their freedom more than their "right" to steal and cause damage, there wouldn't be such need for bills and discussions like these.

Also if you're going to fight fire, it's better to use water than gasoline.

It's so sweet people think this is about online porn piracy.

This.

8char.

Actually, I think the term is "idiot-savant"... I was just trollin ya bro, no worries haha-

go to youtube and type in "full movie" you will get 12.000.000 results ...thats how hard they try:321GFY

fucking hypocrites..."it would affect the internet experience" for the users if they can not steal other peoples property and feel smug about it :1orglaugh

pirates are going down soon...sopa/pipa/acta/cispa the shit is starting to hit the fan more and more and the frequency is increasing ...
