Websites go dark to protest Internet censorship

[teawead]

I wouldn't mind seeing the congress getting blown up.

MAKE SURE THAT THE COMMIE BASTARDS WHO SUPPORTED SOPA ARE NEVER RE-ELECTED!

1. Find out if your state rep supported SOPA.

2. If one of your state reps did, make several postings online denouncing them as communists, tell all of your friends not to vote for them in the next election, and make sure you vote against them in the next election!

3. Send offending representatives letters informing them of your disgust accusing them of being communist!

[rockkong1]

Is America turning into the average day China?!?!

[substack]

The EFF has a short writeup posted about why the Manager's Amendment alluded to by the pro-SOPA guest goes nowhere near far enough at unwinding the potential for harm to the internet and tech companies.

[yourtreat2]

That "healthy, vibrant Tech industry" sure as shit isn't hiring US Citizens. If they were, their wouldn't be so many programmers that are out of work!!!

BULLLLLLSHHHHITTTT!!!!!

Epic Fail. Not going to waste my time watching this garbage either.

[XxXRlGOXxX]

This sounds like something a bunch of angry feminists would do, or Communists. Doesn't matter botch r stupid.

[xxRockyBxx]

noooooooooooooooooo U.S

 are turning comunist

[foresakenlion]

Scanned the entire Sopa, never mentions the word Commercial once, period. she's lying.

[foresakenlion]

Also may I add that they let us build the internet by investing billions in it, and now they use this bill once it's completed and their Internet 2 backbone is entirely set up built with the money we as consumers spent into the system, but on Internet 2 they want to be complete overlords, no freedom, no right of free speech, the internet is international, some countries don't have free speech, good bye internet free speech, hello Chinese style domination of free thought, Orwell didn't imagine it

[foresakenlion]

So therefore Twitter and it's CEO support SOPA and they're pro Draco like internet legislation, therefore, Twitter is a part of the conspiracy to lock down the internet in a corporate format that an individual user will never be able to afford the tools of the platform again effectively turning the internet into what we had in the 20th century through centralized control of knowledge through authorized books, these sites become these books in the new generation.

[heavysumo]

and I will add that the term "whore" as currently accepted applies to BOTH genders, and so is not sexist in any way. See wikipedia (which incidentally was blacked out today for the very same reason that I am taking the time to comment.) Yes, males and females can both be whores, and frequently are. You could research that unless your sources are taken offline due to this really dumb and misguided proposed legislation.

[OnePieceNarutoFanxD]

if sopa passed i'd suicide =p

[timigaguy]

this should be interesting...

[heavysumo]

Sarah is an industry whore. Bought and paid for. This legislation is wrong, and everyone knows it. (or should know). Incidentally if this type of legislation goes through none of us will ever get the chance to learn about it again. I am so disappointed in my government. A whore is a whore, whatever outfit or makeup they wear...

[heavysumo]

@slimjimzquinn27 do you understand figures of speech? i did not mean literally. Come on, listen to the message and stop picking things apart on semantics shill.

[slimjimzquinn27]

@heavysumo

Her gender has nothing to do with her views.

I'm just saying keep sexism out of it.

[heavysumo]

@slimjimzquinn27 To defuse the sexism part I will apply my statements to anyone with that point of view, male or female. No sexism, just common sense and a desire to keep the internet open and free, as most of us want it to be.

[revampted]

Stealing US Jobs? While Hollywood does lose money. But why do they spend millions on their shitty actors and actresses. They urge you to give back to 3rd world nations a hand hold can fix those problems.

[planthi80]

[Louielounge]

I support a constitutional amendment which restricts US copyrights to all intellectual property to NO MORE than 10 years in any case.

Let the marketplace figure out a way to protect intellectual property.

[ElLeonidas2009]

I still watching millionaire actors and singers, how piracy affect them?

[jsJavaScript]

Prior to joining the Alliance, Sandra served as V P General Counsel at Time Warner Inc. In her role at Time Warner Aistars coordinated the company’s intellectual property strategies; served as an expert to the U.S. Congress, the Copyright Office, and various departments and agencies; and represented the company in cross-industry coalitions and technology standards efforts. Aistars has also worked as a lawyer and lobbyist on intellectual property and technology issues at Weil, Gotshal & Manges,

[kecrava]

still watching this, but somewhere around 29:00, that Sandra Aistars started becoming a lot less retarded. i still wholly disagree with her, but she is at least becoming somewhat... cognitive.

[antlvk]

her voice is vibrating badly....

[CanEHdianRocker]

THEIR IS NO PROFIT IN P2P YOU FUCKING CUNT!

[CanEHdianRocker]

I want to put that blonde haired freak Sandra Aistars in a choke hold, then power bomb her to the ground. Shes talking out her ass, and KNOWS that this law is dangerous!!!

[HamletSlaya101]

Spongebob is actually pretty funny..Who would of thought?

[BlackCrescentBrigade]

@HamletSlaya101

I enjoy Spongebob on occasion. I would like to point out to you (as constructive criticism) that in your phrase, "[w]ho would of thought?", 'would of' should be 'would've'. 'Would've' is short, or more precisely, a contraction for, 'would have'. When spoken, 'would've' sounds like, "WOULD OF" but is indeed actually spelled "WOULD'VE" as pointed out.

As the Oatmeal hilariously puts it: "It's like dealing with a lion that's escaped from the zoo by blasting some kittens with a flamethrower."

SOPA/PIPA are draconian and totalitarian (China/Iran-like) laws.

[PoiMage]

5:08 - Nice one

Down with SOPA and PIPA!
