CISPA = SOPA 2.0 The lowdown on what is coming down the pipes with CISPA

VERY Important thread here.

5 stars and howdy 2cents :)

Thx for Super Pinning this GLP

No doubt there are some good uses that can be made with CISPA.. the problem is, with the wrong people in control of it..there can be some awful uses made with it as well. Like major censorship of all sites, including GLP.
Who will head CISPA? Anyone know who's juristiction this will fall into?

let me tell you something. in 2007 when i was in the air force reserves, i sent an email to a whole bunch of generals accusing bush of being a criminal and called for him being apprehended and brought to justice because i was reading stupid conspiracy sites and believing whatever i was reading. the secret service came and detained me for 1 day. but they let me go after they figured out that i was not actually threatening bush, but just basically calling for his impeachment. later i was given a general discharge under honorable conditions, because prior to the reserves i completed my service commitment by serving honorably 8 years on active duty.

anyway, they let me go whithout any charges. it is then i realized that the USA is truly a free country where you have a right to say what you want and not worry about being prosecuted or detained without trial.

no one cares what you talk about as long as you're not talking about destruction or places or plotting to kill people or break the law.

just don't break the actual law.

Maybe these letters are read and replied by staff interns? Does writing to the senate really change things?

HA! the law changes with the wind, to please them.

in fact it does! if they will get lots of people calling them and asking them not to support this new bill/law, then they will drop it. this is how the USA works.

"Maybe these letters are read and replied by staff interns? Does writing to the senate really change things?"

Well prior variations of the present bill failed.

So they just make a new bill.

They want more control of the internet, information, and people so that is that.

Sometimes I wonder if the little man can ever change the hugemongous behemoth that is government.

Also, if you write to hem about something as controverial as this, is the little man not gonna be placed on a watch list?

yeah seriously when will these corporate pigs learn?

welp i guess we'll just keep fighting. fuck 'em right?

also happy patriots day!!

Reading your story, makes me worry on several levels AC. Here's why. First and foremost, what you posted, was being watched by TPTB... You were brought up on the mat for "saying" things.. that were probably being said by many others as well. There was a time, when what you posted was considered private, like a letter. Not any more.

You should not have had to worry about being discharged honourably.. that should have been a given.. and only if you chose to leave, not under any kind of duress.

Having served your country for 8 years and overseas at that.. you should never have had a moments worry about that.

Also, this was in 2007.. that was 5 years ago, and the rules are changing so fast we cannot keep up...it's not like they are advertising the changes.. they change laws and rules on the fly and if it weren't for some pretty vigilant people.. we wouldn't know about them at all.

Most of us don't know what is or is not against the law any more.. the rules have changed so often, even the changes have been changed.

Having said all that.. I would like to say thank you for serving your country! Kudos to you for dedicating those years of your life to your counry.

I hope, what you say, is true.. that there should be no worries if you're not breaking laws. We can hope.

the usa will always be the greatest place on earth. sure, we'll have new law and new rules. they have to be in place because without them we're losing more.

i used to ridicule the air force for having a regulation that actually specifies exactly how you are to wear your belt. when i asked why, there was a good explanation. the reason for such specifics was that in the past, if you don't tell people how they are to wear a belt, they will wear it like idiots do. and if you have a military in which people act like idiots instead of acting like professionals, then you have a problem.

Better make plans for your alternative information sources.

Probably a good time to learn radio communications skills, because when the net goes down, people are going to be fucked.

They do. I was bad mouthing Bush when he was in office to my brother in japan, he got everything I said except the Bush related stuff.

>>i dont think there will be any way to block encrypted mesh vpn's will there? would they?<<


that is THE question Anubis, I would like to know also how this will impact VPN users. does it say encrypted data is "suspect"? probably but I havnt looked into it. if so thats it THE END.

You are on top of your game today M2C.

Kudos to you!!

actually most conspiracy forums help the Big Brother monitor people already .. just saying.. Not gonna get into the details here as it is kinda a taboo topic . just Google it for yourself .

Meh, don't care, go ahead and monitor me, I am sooooo exciting!!!!

Thanks! Just lucked out with 2 good catches today!

hmm

start an internet radio station streaming out of copyright beethoven music with the real messages steganographically embedded in the music.

5th symphony anyone?

This month's vanity Fair has a great article about this...talks to hackers, security experts...Read it. I want things to stay as is although I know that freedom also puts me at risk from terrorists abusing it.

Up to a point they will get what they want. They will over reach. They are bankrupt now. They know they have to control the internet but this could be the over reach.

they don't care about GLP and the like. they are trying to regulate the market in which there is a drag due to the intellectual rights being infringed upon. you wouldn't want asswipes sharing your shit on the internet when you're trying to get paid. because we have this drag in this market, it directly has an effect on our economy and jobs, because when people illegally obtain products instead of paying, companies lose millions of dollars that could be creating jobs, new technologies, and new industries.


right...and you think the entertainment industry will start booming if this passes??

let's face it, the economy sucks. it's not going to get better by paying a bunch of musicians/actors more money. everyone and their brother wants to get rich making music or being in movies. it's all been watered down buy sub par performances.

this is NOT the solution.

You do know that there are tens of thousands of laws such that anyone, anyone, at all can be charged, jailed and convicted at anytime, right?
For something that no one could even know was illegal.

No matter how "law abiding" they think they are.


The rule of law is virtually gone in this country.

You might look up the difference between mala in se and mala prohibita.

If the initial idea doesn't go the way the Corpoliticians desire, just rename and rename and rename until you get the idea passed.

Or slip it in as a rider on a defense bill and say anyone that doesn't vote for the bill is UnAmerican...

It is my understanding that Canada is in lock step with the States where these regulations are conserned. Am I understanding this correctly?

Here is an article stating the facts about CISPA
It's clear and consise and not too long.

This looks like Canada is legistlating SOPA with CISPA regulations.

But it isn't a done deal yet by the look of it.

Agreed.

Deserves week long SUPER STICKY PIN to make sure word gets out....
