SOPA Bill Dead! White House Nixes

No... both SOPA and PIPA are currently dead...... or so they say.

Knowing the clowns in DC they are just going to find some "must pass" bill and attach them as riders, like they always do.

 

Therefore, government can STILL censor internet! Not something to be happy about.

 

If someone has posted this already, I am sorry but its to funny to resist and related to the topic.

 

^ TPB has it on their front page. So true. So true.

In other news, there is a petition on Whitehouse.gov calling for bribery investigation of Chris Dodd.

Investigate Chris Dodd and the MPAA for bribery after he publicly admited to bribing politicans to pass legislation.

Recently on FOX News former Senator Chris Dodd said (as quoted on news site TechDirt), "Those who count on quote 'Hollywood' for support need to understand that this industry is watching very carefully who's going to stand up for them when their job is at stake. Don't ask me to write a check for you when you think your job is at risk and then don't pay any attention to me when my job is at stake," This is an open admission of bribery and a threat designed to provoke a specific policy goal. This is a brazen flouting of the "above the law" status people of Dodd's position and wealth enjoy.

We demand justice. Investigate this blatant bribery and indict every person, especially government officials and lawmakers, who is involved.​

Notice how only a small fraction of these businesses have anything whatsoever to do with creating content? I mean, how the fuck is L'Oreal (a cosmetics manufacturer) or Rolex (watchmaker for rich snobs) ever been adversely effect financially by digital downloads or content "piracy"? When was the last time you downloaded a fucking tube of mascara fercrissakes? That is a question you might want to call up and ask them.

It would have killed the internet. When you think about it... wouldn't humanity be better off?

 

no.

 

I expect most of those are subsidiary companies owned by the few media conglomerates or by the 'ruling families.'

 

Rofl totally got it off fb, but still lol

 

I was told last night that the bill is not dead they have just changed the name.

 

YAYY. now lets stop ACTA.

 

It's already signed from what I heard......

 

I wouldnt doubt that it is!!

 

here comes harper

 

Here we go again.....

 

Why doesn't every country just fly the US flag since they all want to be us apparently when it comes to legislation.

Cannuck, fight that shit as hard as you can.

 

It's not so much that they all want to be the US, it's that they all want to be totalitarian governments in control of good little sheeple while looking like they are good guys with freedoms.



Wait!

That's what the US is.....

 

Ya gotta remember,THE US IS FORCING THEMSELVES ON THE WHOLE WORLD!!!!!!!

Its quite sick and pathetic
