Stop Online Piracy Act & "Protect IP" laws

[James]

If you are a US citizen you might want to prevent the SOPA and PROTECT IP bills from getting passed.

If it does, sites like slysoft.com, makemkv.com or dvdfab.com will cease to exist.

Act now.

From what i've read on the forum i'm a mod on, they could do much more then just block those sites to the US people. They'll effectively have the capacity to block the sites from the internet all together. Revoke the DNS access or something, global ban. Not just the US people will be affected but EVERYONE.

Now I know why I stay in exile.

It may be true "You can never go back" but sometimes that's a free choice.

Hopefully the intent to nuke Facebook and the like will be enough to stop it.

But, there is HOPE:

I've already sent my response to this silliness to my elected officials.

I'm going to pass the word to some of my friends at work and ask them to spread the word around so this potentially crippling legislation won't ever get passed.

Amazing that they can get this bill into Congress and have it ready to be passed, but they can't even bother to fix the obscene U.S. Federal Deficit??



This is yet another reason why I hate and detest the politicians, along with the political system in the United States.

I was going to post this last week but SlySoft usually doesn't seem to care about these things, so I'm kind of suprised to see this stickied.

Here's a YouTube mirror:

I've just sent out my email. Single strands are easy to break, but a threefold cord cannot be broken.

There is ALWAYS strength in numbers people!! Corporations are powerful only because they are successful at dividing consumers.

Once we stand together and are willing to all vote the same way, no amount of lobbyists in the world can prevail the might of a unified people.

Just ask Tunisia, Egypt, Syria.

I just signed the petition as well and told other members of family as well. But it is nuisance for sure.
