SOPA Explained

This is what they want censored. Along with a TON of other stuff.

Just so you know, I'll be shutting down Bondagerotica.com tomorrow from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. to protest SOPA, the Stop Online Piracy Act, or, if truth-in-labelling were required of Congressional bills, the "Let's Shut Down The Internet Act" or, to be even more honest, "The Shakedown of Online Providers Act." Since I host almost all the images on this blog on Bondagerotica, this may interfere with the visual element of the blog as well.

It's a terrible piece of legislation that you probably already know all about (I already wrote about it here) and I wish I could ignore it, piece of crap that it is, but people with MUCH more to lose than me are shutting down their sites in protest, and the least I can do is, the same. So I'm doing it!

SOPA: The Censors Are At It Again In The US

Don't worry, America, you'll get used to it!"

The filthy, cretinous thieves who inhabit the halls of Congress are at it again: they're looking at a bill called the Stop Online Piracy Act that, as written, will allow sites to be shut down merely on an accusation of piracy violation. Basically, it's larcenous politicians taking money from big-money media companies like the Recording Industry Association of America and Time-Warner, to pass a bill that will allow them to run roughshod over the Internet in the name of profits. You're probably sick of hearing about it by now, but hell, we gotta stop this thing or freedom of speech on the Internet will be a thing of the past.

And of course, I have self-interest here. If the big media companies can establish a mechanism for censoring the Internet, every asshole special interest that wants to control others' thoughts will be dying to get their filthy paws on the censorship control panel. And first in line will be the right wing social conservatives who hate porn, and the prudo-feminists who hate porn. They still exist, and if there's an easy mechanism already extant for censoring, you can bet they'll try to slide a bill through to censor the porn out of the Internet.

Here's an Electronic Frontiers Foundation (EFF) site that provides a mercifully brief summary of the dangers posed by SOPA and its sister bill, the PROTECT IP act. Neither of these bills will do what they say they will, they are just stalking horses for censors. EFF also provides an easy way for you to contact your Congressional representatives. Let your voice be heard, before it's too late!
