The lunacy of SOPA and the PIPA bill is such that there are already laws on the books that address and levy fines on blatant piracy ... piracy that works to make money on intellectual property such as films and music and images without due credit or remunification to the owners of the property in question ... these new laws would set into action a much more pernicious standard for blocking content ... the 'perception by those in power or on some such board' that content is ... what? Offensive? Prurient? Disrespectful? Immoral? Dangerous to the public?

These laws provide a classic lesson in democracy here, folks. Pay attention and make your voice heard. The slow erosion of civil rights is a dangerous thing... and communication in a techno-world may well be the most important civil right that world citizens have. Censorship in any form is not a good thing ... it has ramifications and sets a dangerous precedent world-wide.

A terrible law! :-( Cheers, Rosa
