I wouldn't trust the statistics. DNS plain text data can be changed. They have a history of holding onto expired domains among other attempts to look like they have more. Also, there's a lot of guesswork to try to gauge how much products vs

A lot of reinventing seems to be done due to ITAR and monosponies.

They'd have to repeal the relevant law/amendments. I'd prefer the direction to go towards INTERNET FREEDOM rather than INTERNET CONTROL in any case. If the anti-SOPA movement stops SOPA, there will still be momentum towards INTERNET CONTROL

1) Adjust the movement to be about INTERNET FREEDOM, not SOPA. This is because the bill can be delayed/stopped til there's an anti-child porn bill with similar wording. eg "Demand INTERNET FREEDOM bills to replace the ANTI-INTERNET bills [o

PG, a request; demand INTERNET FREEDOM bills support from SOPA turncoats? Otherwise, we'll go through this shit again [0][1][2][3] until compromises are made. Which I'm sure is from quite an effective tactic [4]. At the moment, it seems to

It sounds like a good idea! But: What if they instead do research secretly. Then on research success, they publicly notify the journal of what they intend to do and that it will take 5 months to research. Then 6 months later (an extra month

Sounds like it's grounds for mistrial because the judges are giving incorrect legal advice, unless the appeal process judges don't like it too. Why can't the judges ask politicians repeal the relevant laws instead of causing mistrials?

These restrictions remind of ITAR. Building a rocket for a hobby? Never talk to foreigners about it, lest they make nuclear rockets. If that doesn't faze you, remember that USA almost stopped ecommerce because of ITAR banning export of cryp

The incentives are research companies offering money for successful researchers. Since having failed attempts makes a researcher appear less successful to businesses, they hide it. Not sure how you would 'fix' those research companies.

The movement should create advocate SOICA, Stop Online Internet Censorship Act. The opposite of SOPA and likely SOCPA. This means that congress would have to repeal this SOICA in order to pass SOPA related laws.

by Joakal 15y ago
I disagree, although I'll sign it. A petition should be created to not only stop SOPA but demand INTERNET FREEDOM laws. This will make it impossible to present any SOPA without repealing the law as there's a direct conflict. Otherwise there

From a sufficiently lucrative point of view, SOPA outlaws potential businesses. Of course, they're not interested in the entrepreneurs explaining technical details of more businesses. They know it when they see it.

They should have made a request to not only demand such bills to cease, but to demand bills that reverse parts of current laws controlling the Internet. Otherwise politicians will reduce some of the bill, but the bill will still implement m

Alternatives to SOPA? Why not let the big entertainment companies fail, or do we still produce stuff by hand in order to keep jobs? We're in an era where it's easy to develop creative content. The copyright legislation is becoming more obso

A similar protest was adopted in Australia against the Internet filter, look up "australia filter blackout". Sadly, it failed as ISPs are now censoring 'voluntarily' by forcing it onto their customers [0][1], and the government is funding t
