No worries Sarah. People are rebelling against it wholeheartedly. I am just surprised it was actually...proposed. That law is basically censoring the Internet, and since the web is a system of free expression, it is like censoring our right of speech. At that point, we could always bring out the good ol' Constitution.

Since he managed to take over a large chunk of Europe I'd say he was a good military leader.

Of course that is the problem too. Well, that and the whole genocide thing.

Oh lord lets not talk about Hitler, my bro might catch wind and make three paragraphs long on how his history went etc. xX

But yeahs, I still say this bill is retarded, as are all the other ones to try and censor the internet. What is wrong with the bigwigs nowadays? --
What they still stuck in the 1950s?

Ha! he wasnt a "good leader" He ruled with fear and had people killed if they failed to serve him in the ways he thought they should...point is, Hitler was a monster, and if you notice how history tends to repeat itself in one way or another...he comes out of nowhere and takes over all the countries economic staples

At least Obama is making progress in the economy recovery.

like I already said...and while it served a good purpose in a few ways...it was a horrible orrcurance in more than 100 ways...so you see where I fail to agree with you. Rolling Eyes

Preventing piracy is just what they want you to think, but the government isn't full of software specialists that will prevent any of it. Rather than letting companies do it and prevent it themselves like they do now, they think that things need to be taken into their own hands. So in essence, rather than letting computer specialists try and prevent it, they're going to censor everything and claim they did it.

"Oh, look. I'm the government. I think that people need to stop stealing in stores. So I'll just make a detailed process where you have to give your name, address, and SSN every time you enter a store to prevent it. Please support me."

Its pathetic in my opinion, and the fact is that even if this passes it still won't stop people. Hacking will rise even more, people will merely pirate things to eachother through memory i.e hard drives, flash drives, etc. There's plenty of other ways too like software sources that could be spread through text even to pirate it. For clarity I'm not trying to say I expect a senator to build a security system for this all, not at all, I'm no fool. I'm just saying when they're writing these bills, it isn't from a computer expert's perspective to which it could actually be useful and not a over-extended idea to try and stop something. e.g The difference between nuking something and slapping it on the wrists if you catch my drift.

My father thinks they're doing it for the money, but honestly I'm not seeing it if anyone would like to shine some light on that subject.

EDIT: Also, I should note that Obama did send in a bill around his first month of office to completely remove the internet. Didn't pass with flying colors.
