Online Piracy?
What is most ironic in all of this, is the fact that they are trying to stop something that really has no negative affect on my counties GDP or overall well being of our economy. This act, yes, is freaking absurd but what my government really needs to focus on is trying to stop internet cyber warfare from other Countries. It is bad enough that many young Yanks have no idea how to open a CMD prompt, let alone know any basic defensive ethical hacking abilities. They stick to their Ip00ds and cry when it doesn't work.
My personal take on this SOPA is really something to stand up for; we will not allow our government with NO experience in networking/computing to make decisions for us. I know they have appointed technical advisers and all that jazz, but sometimes they scare the hell out of me. I am all for protecting copyright laws; as I know those business deserve 100 percent protection from theft. As any other US or other foreign citizen should. However these companies are multi-billion dollar companies; why not come up with your OWN privatized security integration system? You obviously have the money to develop some serious ass kicking software. Don't cry to the government about your own personal property being abused, when some of you have more money than the entire US Government. The Government is to help protect the small guy/companies. Yes big corporate companies do deserve just as much right as the small guy; but really, they should try and utilize other resources that are available to them first; not just crying to big daddy about lil Joey the pirate. Seems the lazy American way has spilled even into the huge corporations.
