SOPA and PIPA a bad thing.....

You know it is bad when Obama|Biden (https://my.barackobama.com/page/s/free-and-open-internet?source=20120117LHP) even condemn it!

I hope it passes and Obama vetoes it.

Yea I read up a little on it today. The only problem I have with the who thing is putting my name/e-mail on anything that seems like a mass data collection effort. :(

Did mine through Google, who already knows everything about me anyway...

So emailing the Congress and mentioning a bomb if it goes through is bad?

Good thing to know. I didn't do it.

Word on the street is Obama will Veto them both if passed?

[LA_MERC_Spark]

yeah but did you see the former senator turned head of MPAA threaten Obama's pocket if it doesn't pass?

Yea, there are politicians lined up on both sides of the aisles that take money from these powerful lobbies. They may say one thing in an election year and after they are re-elected, this thing will be on the front burner again. It's important to stand against this on continuing basis. The only way to win this is to threaten their job (and then follow through when necessary).

I'm definitely against giving the government any more control of my life. In fact, I'd like to have a little more control back.

What concerns me is how many of the previous backers are saying "this bill isn't the right one," when just days before, it WAS. Did they even READ THROUGH it?

[LA_MERC_th33_r00k]

Nope but they did read through the threats against them if they vote for it.
