you MUST contact your reps directly . they count direct contact not petition we learned this the hard way with the tea party . craigslist has a good page here for contact info: http://www.craigslist.org/about/SOPA




Say you own a brick and mortar store and some punk spray paint expletives on your wall over night . It's 7 am in the morning and you don't know there are naughty words on your building yet because you are in bed... At 8 am an hour before you get to work, the government comes by a bulldozes your store , the whole building, because the naughty words are visible to the public.... it's like that.. this is the kind of bull this makes illegal..
other sites have been shut down for having ad-sense links..

as a host/designer . I do not have control over random adds feed to my site by google.. I'd also like to point out that those add appear based on people browser search history. IE. if an offical who regularly looks for counterfit and knock off products searches my site . it's HIGHLY probable that Google will HELP them find those items . I've also had a blog red listed by google for an UNAPPROVED comment that listed "counterfeit Chinese products" . the comment was deleted

. everyday I have to screen users and members and i run a pretty tight ship as far as person spam filtering goes but why should i be punished for thing i do not condone or allow in the first place on my websites , just becuse i've had a busy day at work and havn't clear my (not even visable to the public ) queue? Also just because another site with this links to my site.. that's not me selling anything wrong or infringing on a copy-write of any individual.. that SEO scripts like the above mentioned doing there job by trying to lumping word searches .. Just because you see a link some where doesn't even mean those sites are connected. bigger crime here is people who have NO CLUE how the internet works are writing laws to police it. SOPA and PIPA take a very generized approce to "combating Piricy" the way they work is much like the test runs we saw in 2010 . instead of contacting the websites admin and working with them to correct the problem , they shut own an entire server ....

for most websites the type of links and content that the governemt is "fighting" are items that are placed there by foriegn spamm bots , or malicious code. the admin may not even know they were infected yet . but instead of useing a scalple and working with the webadmin to correct a problem .

This Bill gives the government a sledge hammer.
