Consider this a black out.....
Morning!
Okay look - I'm not one for really understanding the world - so I may not have all my facts and figures straight...
But from what I understand this sucks...
Here's just a few links I picked up on the web today...

So for my understanding - Big Brother is going to take more control over the internet to ensure copy right infringements.... So - no more Youtube uploads, no more referring to other sites when you write something, no mentioning anything anywhere about anyone just in case you say something wrong... geez! Blogs are gonna be b-o-r-i-n-g!
Seem's kinda harsh - Okay - I can understand the whole movie and music issue - I mean I myself am dying to download an uncut version of Breaking Dawn Part I (thanks GCC Censureship!- NOT!)
But seriously - just think....
That picture above and those two links - could mean I could end up in jail as copy right infringement... This could mean the end to blogging as we know it.... and I cant have that... where else would I pick up my news and random bits of useless information... It's not that I care about this for my own blog per se - who reads me anyway!:)
And to top it all off - I have an assignment to do today and my brain is offline... Curse you SOPA!!! I need WIKI!!!! :)
Big up to all that are taking a stand...
Anyways...
till next time - I better hit the books - Wiki's not available...

ReplyDeleteSOPA seems to need revision, but big business is pushing ahead regardless, usual nonsense.
