The goal of CISPA is to completely eliminate any sort of privacy online. It really is a Big Brother bill, and that isn’t hyperbole.
CISPA is orders of magnitude worse than SOPA/PIPA. We need to mobilize like we did before, and stop this.
See how close all these guys are? Tells me all the smoke and mirrors about how different they are is pure unadulterated bullshit.
There’s no left vs. right. There’s right vs. ever so slightly more right.
Same guy. Different suit.
Well… HERE’S your problem…
Not doing yourself any favors …
I hope this wasn’t intentional.
Money 2012…sounds about right.

Gingrich: “To take an ex-wife and make it two days before the primary, a significant question in a presidential campaign, is as close to despicable as anything I can imagine.”
Me: Really? Cause I think cheating on two wives who were sick, one on her deathbed, all the while screaming about someone else’s infidelity, is far, far worse. Prick.

Breaking SOPA News of the Day: After Thursday’s 11-hour hearing on over 50 amendments to the controversial Stop Online Piracy Act, the House Judiciary Committee was expected to approve the sending of the unaltered legislation to the floor.
But, in an optimistic twist, today’s hearing was abruptly adjourned, with the future of the so-called “Internet Blacklist Bill” suddenly less certain.
Despite the act’s supporters in the Judiciary Committee outweighing its skeptics by a margin of nearly two to one, SOPA’s author, Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX), agreed to consider speaking with cybersecurity expects about the bill’s potential impact.
83 prominent Internet inventors and engineers recently published an open letter to Congress, insisting that both SOPA and its Senate counterpart PIPA “will risk fragmenting the Internet’s global domain name system (DNS) and have other capricious technical consequences.”
“NetCoalition is encouraged that Chairman Smith is considering the requests of many on the committee that additional hearings be conducted, particularly on the issue of Internet security, in order that the committee be fully briefed on the potentially serious and negative consequences that the proposed legislation would create,” said NetCoalition executive director Markham Erickson.
Though SOPA proponents’ appear to be softening their steadfastly pro-industry stance on certain issues, it remains likely that an amended SOPA will be approved as soon as the committee reconvenes, which could be as early as next week.
The Senate’s anti-piracy legislation left committee a while ago, and is expected to be voted on early next year.
